    The big guy came to play last night. Never thought I’d be a fan of his again but loving his play and energy.

    I like that he is staying within his game for the most part, and excelling at it.

    Never thought I'd say this but if Kuzma gets healthy this team has the chance to be one of the greatest frontcourts of all time. Lebron/AD duo is unique is at great on offense and defense. But man was not expecting this from Mcgee and Howard. Howard has been incredible and the duo with McGee is elite. They basically can go all out when they are in because they know their roles and their minutes being split between the two means no worries about fatigue or load management.

    The numbers are unreal:
    McGee: has a PER of 21 and a BPM of 3.5
    Howard has a PER of 17 and a BPM of 2.5

    They also both have postive RAPM which is insane as they back up each other which usually negatives the positive of each.

    He's getting his legs under him, those dunks though. Guys are getting out of the way.

    Hmm...
    Evil Empire :Kobepuking: '86: Bird - Lurch - Parish - Walton, that's 4 hall of famers ugh
    Lakers 2008 - 2010 Pau/Bynum/Odom/(Artest|Ariza) That front court could dominate on both ends and won back to back.

    I guess Lebron, ludabrow, JAVALE MCGEE, dawite, and Kuz could be up there. We'll know in June.

    If they win it this team will be right up there: what this team potentially has is defensive ability across the board (Dwight,AD, rested Lebron is just a tough as all 3 can be elite positional and help defenders)

    I'm ok with an accidental elbow to Beverly's dome if he has the chance.

    I'm hoping he keeps playing like this upping his trade value so we can package him and McGee .... maybe Boogie too and get a real center in here. Good job Dwight!!

    Another great game by Dwight. I wonder if we can run more plays for him... he can still score when given a chance.
