    Does he know D'Antoni has had knee replacement surgery?

    :)

    That is one of the best things I have seen, shows how much the team cares - and chemistry is SWEET!

    JVG said early in the game the team now is better than last year with Dwight out. He was throwing some real shots at Dwight saying the team was wasting possessions going into the post and Dwight was holding the team hostage doing that.

    With Beverley's resurgence the team is definitely way better than last year.

    For some reason, I wish he not play tomorrow night just for resting purpose. How many times we saw him crash down to the floor, worry about his health can last for the whole season including the playoffs

    Man he looks way quicker and energized this year. That weight loss must have done wonders.

    It's easy for the casual fan to blame last year's Rockets woes on everybody but Dwight. But I think seeing how bad he's been for this Atlanta team (who I believe lost their 11th game tonight in their last 13), hopefully fans are starting to see how much of a negative he can be to a roster at this point in his career. The guy just does not want to play within the flow of a team offense and refuses to adapt his game to his strengths.

    You build up weight to sustain hits, but sometimes you go to far or too hard or both and then you get injured. I personally believe you should just keep to your ideal weight so you can stay light on your feet, but a lot of athletes feel differently.

    He is the vocal leader of this team. Does so many things that are often under appreciated and don't show up on the box score

    He ain't Taco Bell Pollo Loco all star skills contest champion for nothing

    Bev is a fraud, he obviously paid Westbrook to miss those shots.

    Was D'Antoni in the restricted area when he took the charge?
