    I think this will allow Dwight to heal his knee up more, and will increase the number of years he has left in the league if he doesn't have to do much bumping down low. If vs Nuggets is how we are going to see D-Mo and Dwight co-exist the rest of the season, then all I can say is HOW SWEET IT IS.

    Gasol is very long. Like a 9'4"+ standing reach and seems to get up real high when he was Dmo's age for those blocks, not that he need to due to his incredible standing reach anyways. Dmo is like 6'11 wing span 8'11 - 9'1 standing reach. It'd be great if he developed into a Joakim Noah with those proportions.

    the defense traps and gambles a little more (came unstuck a cpl times too), but the pressure ramps up even more

    We now have 2 bigs who demands a double team

    We just need one more double team worthy guard/wing without getting worse on defense

    Thats good. Finally Morey can overcome that we don't need a stretch 4. If we had Lowry this year. Man o man.

    Yeah, 3 guys who absolutely wreck their guys 1 on 1(Howard Playoff Mode) and two 3 and D guys. Our team looks legit.

    I'm eager to see how the offensive output shakes out now that Dwight is back.

    Faried was "out with sprained ankle" today. Clearly Brian Shaw is pissed at him for giving his buddy Harden the triple double.

    The team did not look tired last night. The days off and having Howard back definitely energized these guys. Good game. It looked easy last night whereas some of those wins without Howard were tough.

    I am happy to hear that Canaan will be back. I hope McHale will play him, instead of benching him.

    We'll see. ;)

    Having not played in nearly a month, first game back, yeah, I'd expect some soreness.

    Plus he played a little more than I thought he would.

    But I am still concerned.

    Very concerned. After what happened to McGrady, this thing honestly could be the end of his career.

    Or it could be no big deal.
