    Hubie Brown giving hardcore advice to the Magic with them up by 8, possession of the ball with 24 seconds left and the Celtics obviously conceding the game...

    That was pretty funny.

    Lol, the bint interviewing Dwight just said to him that he struggled with free throws early but knocked them down in the end. He hit one of his last 4 free throws lol and went 3-10 in the second half.

    KNOCK 'EM DOWN DWIGHT. CLUTCH

    With excitement and passion in his voice... "if nothing else is there, drive it to the basket..." :D

    It sounded like it was a 1 point game.

    DW's rebound is overrated, he got 22, but his team got 6 less (42 vs 48),
    that is why celtics can stay in the game with 10 more turn overs.

    4th quauter, when defenders are not hesitate to foul him, DW cant make a free throws.

    ^^ Dwight Howard is a bit overrated as far as boards are concerned. With Rashard manning the 4, he gets more boards, and yes the fact that the team was outrebounded diminishes his rebounding numbers. But he's still a beast defensively.

    I don't care if I'm in a ridiculous getup or have no legs. I'm sure none of us would bail on courtside seats for anything.

    What's your point? he's still the 2nd best center in the NBA. You have contributed more in this thread than any other thread I've ever read.

    Yao played with the worst rebound PF in league history aka Juwan Howard for few seasons, did he ever average double digit rebounds?
    Please we are all homer and we all love Yao but please give credits when it is due. You may argue Yao is better than Dwight but saying Dwight rebounding is overrated is the biggest joke i ever heard!

    Yeah that guy clearly sucks, well judging by what was said in the Howard calls out Van Gundy thread.

    He's he best rebounder in the NBA active, but people act like he's the best rebounder of all-time which is far from true. And if you don't think Rashard playing the 4 Doesn't help him, you might want to think again, because the season before Shard came he averaged 12, the next season Shard came he started averaging 14.

    So Yeah, It actually kind of is helping him.
