    The two offensive fouls they called on him seemed to crush his spirit. He'll be back in game 2.

    Dwight couldn't get in a rhythm due to minutes and all of the free throws and he didn't have anyone to take the pressure off of him on account of Turk's and Lewis' complete inability to get it going. I don't think he was by any means "exposed" as somehow bad or something. If anything, the Celtics series reflected more poorly on him than the Lakers series has so far, since it seemed so easy for Perkins to keep him from scoring off of field goals or free throws.

    I would take Howard (or as I say "Howie") on my team any day. He does have a way to go, but he will continue to improve his game and add more depth over the next couple of years. He is great right now, and will only get better.

    HUH???? At no time did Yao dominate the Lakers, not in the regular season (0-4) and not in the playoffs (1-2).

    It was when Yao was injured and the smaller guys ran circles around the Lakers is when the match up problems arose. When Yao was in the game, the pace was much slower - and the Lakers were able to control the tempo.

    Lakers played the Rockets better with Yao, than without. That series did not go 7 games if Yao was not injured.

    Gasol's defense this year has been underrated. He has improved from last year. People who still call Gasol soft are obviously not paying attention. He's done weight training in the offseason and gained an extra 20 pounds, which basically makes him a true center.

    Ben Wallace didn't stop Shaq. Hack a Shaq stopped Shaq. Pistons really didn't shut down Shaq, either.

    lmao at this.

    Howard was already exposed vs. Kendrick Perkins in the semis.

    Then he dominates broken feet Ilgauskus and 6'8" Varajeo and people think he suddenly learned to become Shaq overnight.

    Suddenly, when faced with legit 7 footers, he is human again... hm...

    it's kinda sad how all arguments involving yao or t-mac have the word healthy all over them.

    Wasn't he still averaging 26 something points 11 rebounds on 60%+ shooting?

    It was when Yao was sitting that all the runs were made my the Rockets.


    2.67 TO in 36MPG for a big man = a turnover machine.

    Ive watched very little Magic basketball this year but its obvious they just were not hitting shots they could/should hit and that is always rough on a center.

    However, while I believe Dwight one of the most beastly dudes ive ever had the pleasure to meet, I do not think that against Gasol/Bynum/(O-Dumb even) he will avg more then 18 ppg this series... thats not to say I dont hope he does and the Magic topple the Lakers.


    btw, Shaq>anycurrentbigman with closest competition from TimmyD
    dont effing kid yourselves
