    I’m just glad his butt has healed after so many years of abuse and high mileage.

    Howard was energized by the fans cheering him on and goaded them back in return... Had the highest +/- stat whatever according to the commentator not named Jackson. Then there was flagrant which I did not find annoying.

    Yep, good game. If this continues which I am hopeful for, we should be in excellent shape this season.

    Embracing his inner Tyson Chandler. He's not all the way recovered though from his back problem. Does not have the same explosion off the floor on his dunk attempts. Howard does collapse the interior by being physical. Got the lion's share at the 5 over McGee in the second half.

    Looks really leaner from his Orlando prime along with that really odd hairstyle.

    This is what I hoped for. His value is tremendous if he plays this way all season.

    he yelled at the crowd after a block

    I almost expected him to scream "I'm back baby!!!! Now you gonna pay me????"

    but he didn't, so there is still hope

    Dwight's attitude, hustle and acceptance of his role is really starting to impress me. Continue doing this and we'll be very happy he's back. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I am all for giving second chances. Great job so far. Had amazing +/- last night and we really set the tone with him on the floor. He did not score much, but he did everything else.

    what if he would have played like this the first time around, when he was still near his athletic prime?

    His focus and energy was great. That competitive spirit under the rim can really get the crowd and teammates going... it's contagious.

    I hope he stays hungry and doesn't look too far ahead (starting... next summer... new contract). As long as he stays in the moment, he'll continue to be a great asset.
