    Dwight Howard was by far the best player we had this series. He's the only superstar that showed up EVERY single game! That performance last night where he just single handily took over was just an inspiration man. I mean, dude was even hitting a decent ft % for a big guy like him! Much love Dwight, I'm glad you're with us in the future! This is your team!

    No question.

    Easily our MVP of the series and consistent every single game. Did not have one bad game. He gave it all he had

    Howard showed me something this series. He straight balled, no other way to put it.

    MVP of the playoffs for us, without a doubt. I admit I was worried about the acquisition because of some of his attitude problems with L.A. and Orlando, but he's been totally awesome the entire time. I'm stoked to have him for at least 3 more years.

    I doubted him but he definitely played as advertised and then some in the playoffs. Tough loss but the team will learn from this and come back better and hopefully a little wiser. Lots of mistakes due to inexperience that hopefully we've seen the last of.

    The difference between oct dwight and present dwight is the biggest rise of any previous superstar in the game.

    Great to see the big man return to form this season and the playoffs

    As zach Lowe said on rockets tv 2 months ago, "you (to Craig) think james harden is your teams MVP? I totally disagree and think it's dwight"

    Without him the Rockets would have been blown out every single game. I had that recurring thought many times while watching the games.

    He really shouldered the load. Reliable offense, defense, rebounding, cleaning up other people's messes with putbacks, and leadership.

    He got fouled a lot that last game down low with no call while defenders couldn't breathe hard on Aldridge. Terrible officiating.

    Dwight my man, thanks for showing up and putting it all out on the floor. I'm glad you are with the Rockets and keep your head up because you will lead us to a Chip pretty soon.

    Harden better show up next series.
    Dwight shows up EVERY series.
    Even when he got swept in LA he was putting up pretty ****ing good numbers.
