    Dwight has done nothing but enhance his reputation in my mind since the end of the series. How you lose is even more important than how you win. D12 is a class act.

    Not a ringing endorsement for McHale.

    As for where Dwight wishes he could be, I think he'd prefer to be in San Antonio.

    Man, there must be a LOT of dischord in that lockerroom.

    He knows they were beat by a team that just plain wanted it more and got some good breaks. You have to put off good vibes to do that.
    Great player. I take back anything I ever said about him. Or anytime I listened to those stupid Laker fans.

    Did anyone hear what that very last question was off mic? Dwight grimaced and pointedly said, "No."

    When a max guy like Harden is as disinterested and unwilling to play at both ends of the court as he is, I think it breeds discontent. If that doesn't change then I think it's going to come to a head sooner rather than later.

    Every radio guy down here has said the same thing. All said they thought Houston had the better talent, but were so incredibly impressed by Portland's team play.

    Also said

    Our "stars" outplayed their stars" Although they all thought Dwight played well

    Stotts totally outcoached McHale

    Well, agree with most, but good breaks?

    The 3 that won Game 3 when the ball rolled around on the floor with everyone diving for it?
    The ball that bounced off RoLo in Game 6 to (seemingly) give Houston the win?

    I mean, they got some pretty good breaks themselves!

    But those who laugh last, laugh best.

    I'd argue that the rank order for stars in that series is: LA > Dwight > Dame >>> Harden

    I disagree. He's a fucking douche. He's only talking like that because he's under contract. When he's in the last year of his contract he's a straight up selfish baby.

    I wonder if he feels like a jackass for not even considering signing with us.

    I'd put Dame on the same level as Dwight for the series. Look at Dame's numbers. Staggeringly good. And he hit the series winner.
