Nice block, but guess what NBA.com decided to ignore this play and instead put D12 blocking Gay at #6 :lol

[plowking]

I'm still trying to find the funny bit of this play...

Best player on the court today. Best center in the NBA. Top 5 player in the league.

Its actually amazing how whiny Laker fans are. This has easily passed the level of bitchmadeness by Cleveland fans when Lebron left.

[Legends66NBA7]

Best player on the court today. Top 5 player in the league.

He wasn't the best player on the court in that game. It was actually Jeremy Lin. Howard's numbers were really empty after the 2nd half outside of rebounding. The Raptors did a good job containing him.

If were factoring in current play, what make him Top 5 ?

James, Durant, Love, Paul, and George have been better so far, unless your just factoring in what he will potentially be.

Yeah, Jeremy Lin was the one grabbing rebounds and protecting the damn paint all game long. Howard was more influential on the game. It was when they stopped going to him on offense that everything crumbled.

Yeah, hes top 5. Kevin Love hasn't been better, neither has George. Howard is a big man that can give you good to great on both sides of the court. Hes been more impactful than both.

I'm a Dwight fan and I gotta say that was a good ass block. Not sure what's funny about it, but that was a good block. Better go harder next time dwight.

[fpliii]

Dwight's not a top 5 player? Now I've heard it all. With the exception of the first half of last year, he's been one of the most impactful few players in the league for a long time now.

I understand my fellow Lakers fans are bitter (as am I), but this shit is ridiculous. ****ing defense and rebounding are NOT merely footnotes, no matter how you slice it.

[Kaspah]

Dwight Howard is a b!tchmade dude

But I'm pretty sure he had like 17pts/24rebounds last night against the raptors.

Everyone gets blocked occasionally

Nothing funny to see here

[livingby3's]

Most just wanna see Dwight fail, regardless of how he fails.

Stop watching the boxscore moron, Howard was far from being the best player on the court. His play clearly isn't top 5 in the NBA either (Yet, has a chance to be top 5 again if he proves it this season). Best center is debateable as well. So in ALL accounts, youre pretty much wrong.

What game were you watching?:lol Or just checking the box score?

Howard is piss poor on offense, unless its a putback or a wide open dunk hes a liability. Cant shoot free throws to save his life and costs his team the game on numerous occasions.

Hes a great rebounder and shot blocker, but hes not a top 5 player. Have you even watched a Pacers game this season? Youre saying George isnt currently top 5?:facepalm

Not even close. Interested to hear your supposed top5 though seeing as you rate Dwight higher than Love and George..


Also most of those losers are heat fans now, nice exaggeration.

Dwight hasn't been great at the offensive end for this year or last year. He used to make up for his lack of individual low post dominance, poor FT shooting, and turnovers with sheer efficiency, but even that's dropped down to average levels.

[tmac2k8]

You know what's not so funny to Laker fans?

24 Rebounds, 5 Blocks, 18 Points off 7/12 FG last night. That's irreplacable.

Those signs were literally the only thing they did to convince him to stay, lol. That's it. Nothing else. The Lakers have that entire city at their disposal, and they just posted a few billboards.

2008-2009 Finals Team:

Dwight Howard
Rashard Lewis
Hedo Turkoglu
Rafer Alston
Courtney Lee
Marcin Gortat
Anthony Johnson
Tyronn Lue
Mickael Pietrus
Jameer Nelson
JJ Redick
Jeremy Richardson
Adonal Foyle
Tony Battie

Regular Season record: 59-23 (.720)

Dwight's Final year (2011-2012) Magic roster
Dwight Howard
Hedo Turkoglu
JJ Redick
Jameer Nelson
Glen Davis
Chris Duhon
Jason Richardon
Quentin Richardson
Von Wafer
Ryan Anderson
Earl Clark
Justin Harper
DeAndre Liggins
Daniel Orton
Ish Smith

Members of the 2009 Finals team in italics

Regular Season record: 37-29 (.561)

Shortened season, but .561 eaquals to 46 won games in a full season. They were 52-30 in 2010-2011 (.634).

.720
.634 (-.086 dropoff)
.561 (-.073 dropoff)

Quite a different group of guys, but still quite a drop in percentage, right? Still Dwight was on this team and didn't take them to the Finals. Hmm..

Now lets look at the team Orlando had on the floor, the "same" team Dwight took to the Finals yet was the worst team in the league without "just him".

Arron Afflalo (Not his best season)
Glen Davis (injured a lot)
JJ Redick (traded at deadline)
Ish Smith (traded with JJ)
Gustavo Ayon (traded with JJ)
Maurice Harkless (rookie)
Al Harrington (played very few games)
Tobias Harris (acquired at deadline)
DeQuan Jones (rookie)
E'Twaun Moore (2nd year)
Jameer Nelson (56 games)
Doron Lamb (Rookie)
Hedo Turkoglu (11 games, old, broken hand, drunk, juiced)
Andrew Nicholson (rookie)
Kyle O'Quinn (rookie)
Nikola Vucevic (rookie)
Beno Udrih (Solid, but mainly meh)

So that means, that 2009 Finals team that was the worst team in the league with Dwight off of it, was only just Jameer for 56 games, Hedo's drunk ass for 11 games, JJ Redick for 50 games and... wait... that's it... the rest of the 2011-2012 squad were off the team, too, apart from Big Baby.

The Finals team Dwight "carried" had already been greatly dismantled the following offseason, Dwight's dramashow really started to chew off the wheels from underneath the team bus, yet he was very willing to throw his teammates under it without hesitation. It was all their fault, right? Yet somehow the team started to crumble with him on it. Yes, bad moves. Bad signings. But Dwight had a lot to do with it with his BS.

Could it possibly be, that his teammates of 2009 kind of "helped" him? That just can't be. It was all Dwight. Not Rashard shooting out of his mind or Hedo actually being capable of playing the sport of basketball without falling on his face. Or Pietrus making it rain and Lee looking very promising for a rookie. No chance it was Rafer Alston doing business in the playoffs before being replaced in the starting lineup by Jameer Nelson who just came off the injured list after suffering a torn labrum in his shoulder and it sure ass heck wasn't because Dwight had a solid backup C in Gortat...

Nah. It was all Dwight.

The "worst team in the league last season without Dwight" had little to no resemblance to the 2009 Finals team and their record was not just because of Dwight. A totally different team, mainly made-up of rookies and second year players collected by rookie GM who was laughed at and ridiculed for the Dwight trade at the time. Vets were either mostly injured, traded or drunk.

Orlando is in a good position now. Nowhere to go but up and they seem to have hit the rebuild with a clear direction.

[Heavincent]

:oldlol: at Dwight being a top 5 player. That's utterly laughable.

[Jameerthefear]

if dwight made 60% of his freethrows he would definitely be top 5. now? nah.

....you can be when your defence completely alters how the other team plays. He hasn't looked great this year but he's still one of the top centres. Stop focusing on just the offence and actually watch the game without bias and you'll see the impact he has. I hate the guy with a passion and I wish he was really struggling but I'm not going to ignore reality and only focus on the bad points of his game. In the fourth and ot of the last game he made some crucial defensive plays and grabbing some crucial rebounds, he still contributes.

seriously did Dwight come shit in your cornflakes every morning while he was in L.A or something? Was he sleeping with your whole family? You have such an irrational hatred that he must have done something to you? Did you feel betrayed when he left L.A so badly that you have to post retarded baseless claims like this non stop and make threads about him every ****ing day? We get the point that he may not be a guy who will win a ring for a team but he's far from a scrub like you want to make him out to be. Get a life man and move on seriously time for a new subject.

LOL damn you listen to the media hype too much. Dwight doesn't "completely alter" how other teams play against him. No one is afraid of this guy anymore. He is not that dominant. He used to be better because he had an insane work rate on the defensive end combined with his athleticism. Since 2009 and all that praise he has begun coasting more and more, his work rate kept going down until what we have is the current Dwight infront of us.

That is actually true. He was a workhorse a few years ago, really focused on D and efficient on O. Then he became a stat-queen, wanted everything to go through him and got a bit lazy it seems.

Dwight can't set screens properly, and he still doesn't know the basics of rolling off of them properly. His positional sense on offense is also bad and because of his bad footwork he often struggles to seal off his man leading to high turnover rate, and low percentage shots when he does actually manage to get them off without being fouled. He still often brings the ball low down for no reason, when he should just keep it high above his head. He is not an amazing off the ball player by any stretch of the imagination, and he has bad fundamentals.

I hope you're joking... I really do.

I understand what you're implying about his defence, but when you miss critical free throws and just suck that much on offence, your defence isn't making up that gap.
If he was at least ok on offence, there'd be no problem, but look at the facts.
His defence has been pretty good, but his offence is costing them games. It becomes 4vs 5 out there in the 4th with him on the floor, or even 4 vs 6 as his free throws are that terrible he might as well play for the other team.

And just so you're aware, don't come out saying "oh, you don't watch the games" when for a fact I have seen every Rockets game this season, maybe not the whole game, as I switched between a couple, but a pretty damn lot of them, and yes, I have watched entire 4th quarters.
Rockets would be better of sitting Dwight in the last 6 minutes.

[AirTupac]

[Juges8932]

I'm still trying to find the funny bit of this play...

Best player on the court today. Best center in the NBA. Top 5 player in the league.

Its actually amazing how whiny Laker fans are. This has easily passed the level of bitchmadeness by Cleveland fans when Lebron left.

I'm a Laker fan and I am glad he is gone. I never wanted him in the first place. I liked him a lot prior to everything coming out about how fake he is. I couldn't decide who would be worse to have, him or Bynum because they both have terrible attitudes.

I enjoy seeing Dwight fail because he really is a big baby.

However, I do agree with you that Laker fans being pissy because he left are retarded, lol. He was there for a season- not like he was there for 10 years or something. Even then, I think players should do whatever they want because it isn't like organizations are going to show loyalty to their players. It's such a double standard. It is a job- they are going to go where they feel most satisfied and where they can accomplish their goals (whether it be most money, more championships, great location, etc). I thought it was retarded that Ohio was so butt-hurt over LBJ leaving. Burning his jersey and shit, lol. Like really? Just goes to show that people really have no perspective on life if an athlete leaving for greener pastures really rustles their jimmies that much.

I also agree that there is nothing funny- he went for a strong move and got blocked. He has done this hundreds of times to other players, lol.

Probably is the best center in the NBA, but that's not saying a whole lot.

Dwight wins the game for Houston tonight. Sinks two clutch free throws and puts the nail in the coffin. Incredible performance on defense tonight, and seals the game.

Dwight Godard.

[Nick Young]

It was against the knicks man, this is similar to a win vs the bobcats, not worth bragging about.

On defense he got lit up by Bargnani. On offense, Bargnani shut him down.

He also has done his best to drive elite rebounder Omer Asik out of town.
