Josh Howard excited to be back

Josh Howard is certainly glad to be back in the fold. Chalk up the two-game suspension for attacking Brad Miller this preseason as a lesson learned.

“You know me, I’m ready to play,” he said not long ago. “I would have rather been back last night. It was a learning experience. We didn’t get off to a good start. We had an awesome comeback in the third quarter. I was yelling like crazy at the ESPN Zone.”

Watching the first two games on TV reminded Howard how much he prefers being at the arena. He even said that after he’s done playing, he plans to watch games in person whenever he can. As for coaching, he doesn’t think so.

“I can’t coach somebody like me,” he said. “I would never know what I was thinking.”
