    I'm so proud of this dude. Just a quality person. He's gonna do lots of good for the kids with his experience and his positive energy.

    So thankful he's in the purp n gold (and am equally grateful he's gonna play too).

    I would have understood if Dwight sat out because his young son’s mother just died, so it would be hard to leave him for three months or so. However selfishly, it would have probably ended my expectation of a championship because we couldn’t lose Dwight and Bradly IMO.

    I’m just glad he Figured out a way to work things out for his family and now we can really contend.

    What's with the stupid fouls? Was shaking my head. Howard is so much better than that. Tamp down the enforcer role a bit big man.

    Dwight let the Clippers do what they do to teams to him. He let them grab and hold him to the point he kept losing his cool. He can't be manipulated like that or he will be sitting on the bench.

    He'll play better. He needs to get back into his groove that he had in the season. I think it'll come with a bit more time.

    What’s the proper response though if refs aren’t calling that s***? They’ve been screwing him all year with Ticky tacks.

    Thought about this...Vogel or someone from the coaching staff has to point it out or Howard can show what they are doing instead of just retaliating.

    Not do something stupid like taking a swipe at the ball when Zubac is getting ready to take it out. Or not going in and leading with the elbow when the refs already has an eye on him. Or not paying attention on his screens when he knows they are going to call him. The proper response is to show you are better than the BS they were putting on him.

    Thing is the Clippers have players who want to get under our skins. They cheap shot, flop, hold, grab, whine etc etc. Dwight is one of our bangers and we need him to have his head in the game. He does us no good either on the bench or screwing up when he is on the floor.

    absolutely. That is Beverly's whole game. Be a pest and get the other player out of his rhythm. That's my whole point about Dwight letting them get to him.

    I may have missed some of what Dwight did. Had work to do on a rush for today but said screw it going to watch the game on time shift and stay up most of night after. But when they caught us and pulled ahead by 7 or whatever I said eff this if we’re going to wind up losing and started high speed scanning forward until I saw we were close again.

    I totally agree. That one play where he was called for a foul showed a Clipper locking his arm up and then trying to sell it as Howard locking his arm up.

    That sucked. I seriously hope the Lakers send the video proof of this to the NBA. Eventually they would have to respond??? Maybe?

    Maybe he should've stayed home. Re-start and Bubble has not been great for him. He was horrible yesterday vs the Rockets, missing free throws, picking up unnecessary offensive fouls and just a dud on defense.

    The refs really seem to have it out for him, even when he is playing more controlled.
