I watched that game against the Pacers and the ting that surprised me even more than Harden going off was Roy Hibbert getting dominated in the post by Dwight. Hibbert needs to get back into playoff mode.

I dont think people realize how good a motivated Dwight is. He didnt ask to go to the Lakers. He was sent there. He got to choose his destination and is back having fun playing ball again. That and he's healthy. Its crazy to me how to media portrayed him and now that he's balling, he gets no recognition.

I saw a motivated Dwight help carry the Magic to the Finals back in 2009. I always knew he was a great player with a very hard work ethic. I just didn't like seeing him become the selfish player he did in Orlando when contract talks came around. Your right that he didn't want to go to LA but he certainly didn't want to stay in Orlando either. He seemed to turn into a more depressed and different person during that time somewhat of a headcase in the locker room....although a trip to a terrible team like LA should do that to anyone haha. 

 

Its nice to see him finally content and settling in with a good team like the Rockets. He fits well there, playing much better and like I have mentioned before the Rockets could be that team to upset the West and Dwight has had success in that position before.

I'm very confused as to how this dunk is so great.

 

 

I mean, it's a great play, but ESPN and NBA.com are going NUTS over it

Yeah, the media is hyping Blake. But I gotta say, he's starting to live up to that hype. I think he has elevated his game to a whole new level this year. I've been highly critical of Blake and all the attention he has gotten, but he has turned in to a great player. He carried that team and elevated his game when Chris Paul was out, I thought he was going to shrivel. Gotta give props when it's due. Can't stand his face though.

Oh no doubt, he's playing at an MVP level

I'd put Blake 3rd right now behind KD & Lebron for MVP. Last year you could see him developing mostly his defense and jump shot, this year he's on a different level. I think Doc has some part in that. Deandre Jordan is also having a career year.

Bulls,Heat,Nets and the Pacers in the east.

Thunder, Spurs, clippers, rockets in the west.

Just hoping the Wiz can take them to 6. Not confident in them at all, but I'm rooting for them.

Loving all these bull crap calls for OKC

ZBo with 5 fouls now.. No charge call last possession

Terrible call on KD 3 pt shot...

Surprised Grizz could even make it a game

Felt like a regular season game, for me anyway. Two crappy teams going at it (despite the Pacers record) just didn't do it for me.

Game going on right now though.

If the Wiz can't do anything I'm rooting for the spurs win it all.

Even though I have financial interest in the Thunder ;)

Didn't realize the bobcats defense was this good. Miami's also not hitting open shots, but I'm impressed; especially being on the road. Hopefully Jefferson isn't hurt that badly where his ankle lingers. Kemba is stepping up.

Really good game going on right now between rockets & blazers. Aldridge might be the most hardest player to guard in the league.

He just fouled out by doing something stupid,but 46 points and 18 rebounds is crazy!
