    He's playing some great ball right now. I thought he made Joker look like a slouch out there. Yes, he had a little above his average, but the optics against Dwight. Dwight looked like the better and certainly more physical player.

    This play stuck out to me...

    I’m wondering how that plays out with Morris now on the clips.

    Dwight is our third best player and needs to be moved to the starting line up. Javale can feast better on weaker second strings and still get good minutes. Dwight needs to start and finish. Like Metta, he gives us a toughness and more confidence. Plus I like the way he screams when he dunks...lol. Dwight wants that championship bad. That is the type player I would want in as a coach. You can game plan around him. Inconsistent players make game planning hard and look bad.

    Dwight needs to play more. Flat out. Dude is still a stud.

    I think he'll be playing a lot more during the playoffs when rotations are a bit tighter.

    I liked that Dwight was standing a foot back of the line, at least trying to fix his shot.
    If he can repair that he becomes a near elite player again.

    In the mood after this morning's start. He's already for his position in his limited minutes playing at near elite level regardless. Shaq couldn't shoot them either.

    I liked his first dunk more than the judges. I’m a style/grace dunk fan.

    If there was a senior dunk competition, Dwight would have won.

    Dwight is too old for this. His dunks were crazy impressive based on his age and wear though, the first one he just hung there while spinning, it might not have looked impressive in real time, but slow-mo it was great.

    Represented. For a guy his age, that was impressive.

    He caught the Superman Lob too close to the basket.

    I thought the statue of liberty. Freeze look at the camera. Smile. Dunk was good. Looked less impressive because of his size (as usual). Appreciated the dunk honoring Kobe, that was pretty cool and mixed with an old man's version of his superman dunk.

    He probably could've taken Connaughton. But Gordon and Jones Jr were on another level. It's a young man's game. Props to Dwight for giving it a go though.
