This is definitely special. This is a real grinding bunch - which is why giving up is foolish. They keep hammering away. It's ugly, but they're not going to go quietly. That's the message from this game: This team will not go quietly.

After seeing Howard this series, he's kinda overrated. I rather have Yao Ming than Howard to be honest.

No, I think Howard has better feet =)

he's gonna be a perennial all-star and when he gets legit two way NBA players around him, he'll get some titles, but I don't think he's a guy who can do it by himself a la Shaq (and even Shaq had Kobe and DWade, but just dominated that much more)
Yao's too soft, plus hes injury prone. Plus Dwight's 23 and he still has ALOT of raw talent

I agree about Howard.  I like Yao, but Id still take Howard just based on the ability to stay healthy alone.

Yes, but if Yao can stay healthy all year, I'll take him over Howard any day. But just because Yao is injury prone, I'll go with Howard. Yao is just a more talented player on the offensive end. Dwight has no skills but dunks and lobs.

Van Gundy is an idiot for having Howard in on that play.
I'm pretty sure there's other reasons for Van Gundy being an idiot...

There's some crazy fouls being called in that Rockets game, but Houston's still up.  Come on Rockets, let's go!

I absolutely can't believe we won this.

Would you believe I gave you a celebratory TP?

Magics are kings of chokes, we're kings of comebacks. Bad combination for them.

Can I please get a TP for watching this game instead of studying for tomorrow's final exam?

Worth it.

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

TP's for everyone who DIDN'T call this game over. If you did? Well, what do you say now?  ;D (all in good fun ;))
I kept the faith!

same here although i didnt post actively for fear of jinxing them.

Do I get a negative TP for believing this game was over?? :-[

I think you got some TP's because we won  ;)

Howard just isn't very skilled.  It's amazing how much he's able to do with such limited skills.
