The Rockets rarely even run a play designed for him unless its a pick and roll back screen dunk.
His per 36 minute numbers havent fallen off a whole lot. He just gets fewer shot attempts and much lower usage than he did with Orlando.

Honest question. Can he jump anymore? I just watched this video from the Kings game and can't help but think that the Lakers/Magic version of Howard would have at least dunked a few of these. He had left back surgery 3 years ago, missed a ton of games last year because of his knees and before the season started was complaining about the right side of his back and missing games. I just don't watch a ton of Rockets games and his vertical is starting to look a lot like Z-Bo.
