    The * isn't from this year though.

    Game isn't over, but it is. I guess this answers the question of whether you can just put a shitload of talent on a team and have them win a championship.

    and all of a sudden, Dwight Howard doesn't look THAT much more attractive than Oden in the long term.

    I hope you're kidding. Dwight Howard just led his team to an NBA Finals, won defensive player of the year, and set a record for blocks in a finals game.

    and choked in the playoffs really badly.

    I say he doesn't make it back to the finals in his career again. Fuck you Dwight!

    Choked in the playoffs? The guys averaging 20.7 PPG on 63.7 TS%, 15.6 RPG, 2.6 BPG. He has a 120 O-Rtg and a league best 98 D-Rtg.

    Dwight should be back to the Finals. He is by far the best center in the league, and no one else is close.

    The playoffs are a different kinda game. Some guys can't adapt. Dwight is a beast though, I wouldn't say he choked.

    With LeBronze and Wade in the east, the path won't be as easy anymore when they move to bring balance to the East.

    shooting 47% in the finals.

    Your expectations are unrealistic then. Look at the #'s he put up! Comments like this prove that your knowledge of the game is questionable at best.

    his numbers are down. FG% dropped like 10% at least from usual. I would say that the #s he put up were down.

    Yes they may be down, but that's not what you said.

    Lakers have double, tripled teamed him everytime he got the ball. His teammates let him down, and didn't hit his shot. Dwight's not going to be scoring over double and triples all that often.

    Take game 4 as an example. Yes, Dwight missed some free throws. But you expect Dwight to miss some free throws. The free throw misses that really hurt were Turkoglu's three, because he's supposed to make his.

    I said he choked, which he did, you said to look at his numbers and they are significantly lower.

    I said look at his averages for the series. Pretty impressive to me. I'd be happy if any player on my team got 'em like that. Don't care what they averaged during the regular season! If you want to break it down, I have a feeling without looking at the #'s that he has not had much help from his team mates this series.

    I don't think he played particularly well. But generally choke jobs don't involve winning.

    Fuck the Fake Show and all of their fucking fans.

    Fuck the announcers and their nauseating public display of KoMe sucking.
