    So it still seems strange to me that we have Dwight Howard (running along with James Harden no less). Now that we are a good chunk into the season, I have accepted it as a great reality.

    I was skeptical about Howard because of the way he handled himself in the media over the last couple of years and his health issues. You have seen some of these HS to NBA players expire a bit early due to mileage. However, any NBA fan realizes that you sign Howard when you get the chance.

    I think that everyone from the national and local media to the fans became similarly skeptical. It caused them to forget the massive talent and basketball player that is Dwight Howard. It made them forget the good person that is Dwight Howard.

    Howard is getting healthier. He has McHale and Olajuwon behind him. Their is talent around him and we will likely be adding more. I really am starting to love watching the guy. He plays hard and he seems to be a good leader. Lucky us.

    I've always thought that Howard is one of the most likeable guys off the court in the NBA.....

    He's playing his butt off every night and leading the team . The media tried to turn him into a side show like always . He has earned our respect

    I'm surprised at how well he's been playing lately. He's making his free throws and has an offensive skill set.

    Did he always have these moves?

    Parsons is probably my favorite because of how versatile he is out there but I'm impressed like crazy with Dwight this year. His offensive moves are a lot more fluid and incorporate counter moves. He's got a lot better form and touch on his free throws. He's still getting a lot of dumb goaltending calls but he is playing fantastic basketball. We just need to get the whole team healthy and I think we're going to be fine.

    I am afraid to sign up with the Dwight Fan Club, I think I bring some bad luck. Early in the season, I signed up for the Garcia Fan Club ... where is he now? I am nearly on the verge of tearing my LOF card.

    On the hand though, I did not sign up for the Casspi Fan Club, but he is still like spotty :p

    Dwight looking like Orlando Dwight. Orlando Dwight was a top 2 or 3 player in the league. Another dominant performance tonight. Team just out coached and Lin drug the team down with awful play tonight as well.

    I have a random question: Why do ppl say Lin is TO prone but Harden was #1 in TOs last year and ppl say he just has the ball a lot so TOs are common for him???

    Dwight's current play is what has me excited right now even after the latest ridiculous loss. I hope the front office can work magic by the trade deadline and get some better shooters to place around Dwight. Garcia and Casspi are getting too many minutes and they are not going to make people pay consistently enough for doubling Dwight as the season goes on.

    Dwight has been pretty incredible this year. You kind of feel like he deserves better than what he's gotten so far from the supporting cast. The guy gave up the last few years of the prime of his career to play with these guys. Lets get the big guy some help please. This is kinda why he wanted to leave Orlando in the first place.

    he was a force with orlando, people forget because of all the drama the media created and because LA didn't know how to use him

    Troll alert.

    Dwight is a phenomenal player. We need to incorporate him into our offense like we are now for the rest of the season.

    Morey needs to make some moves by deadline. Asik either needs.to be playing or on another roster. Since when does a "thigh contusion " take this long to return from smfh

    Dwight is the best overall player on this team. He gives you offense and defense which is a nice balance. Besides the FT, which can be frustrating to watch....

    D12 is playing as hard as ever. His moves might not be pretty, but he is everything you could ask for from a center. Even more so than Yao.

    On a side note, he's the only one on our team getting superstar calls. That alone is like adding 2 points everygame for us.

    I used to hate this guy before he came here.:grin:
