    Man, I still can't believe we have freakin James Harden and Dwight Howard. So surreal.

    Training camp hasn't even begun and Howard is already selling out on McHale. #Dwightmare

    Howard's not calling him "McFail" so I hope all the teeny boppers can refrain as well.

    This season is going to be awesome!

    I'm just glad we have some actual team rivalries going (Warriors, OKC, Lakers, maybe even Miami 2/2 Wade/Harden and Indy since Hibbert never forgets)

    McFrail still tanked at the end of the last two seasons but he is an ideal big man's coach

    Yep, that had nothing to do with the players being mentally and physically exhausted. Also, being the NBA's youngest team also played no part in that whatsoever. It was all on the head coach.....every bit of it.

    We have Dwight Howard.


    A year ago we didn't have Harden either... Cannot believe the good fortune.

    No crap. But that all depends on how much playing time _ _ _ gets.

    If someone told me a year ago that we'd get Harden AND Dwight, I'd tell him cocaine must be one hellava drug.

    same here. I'm so damn excited we got Howard. I mean, Harden is a star, but he's not a superstar like Lebron or Durant. And people on this forum tend to overrate him. But Howard? Damn. He's legit superstar material. He was in top 3 in ESPN rankings a while a back. Legit..no homer bias..we have the best damn center in the league!!!!! :grin::cool:

    Dwight sounds much more mature and intelligent in his interviews than I had expected. So glad he's here. It's gonna be epic.

    I have been saying all along Dwight is hungry for that ring and he wants to prove all the haters wrong he has a chip on his shoulders and they have added fuel to his fire the league better watch out

    Dwight always dominates when he plays OKC...got his first triple double and a 40+ point game against them so I'm very happily looking forward to that.

    He's going into his 2nd year as a starter, he's been 24 for a month, was 5th in scoring last year, and is durant-level at the line. That's pretty star-y, man. The distinction between them is minimal and arguable either way.

    Let's hope there is a way to have fun while being serious. Dwight haven't seen how serious Harden and Lin can be.

    You not see him during his years in Orlando?

    There is most definitely a way, and it's been done many, many times by Dwight.
