    With Jameer Nelson at the point spot, in our last 3 games(all wins), Dwight has had 20 pts, 16 boards and 3 blocks against the Kings, 20 pts 15 boards 4 blocks against the Knicks and 11 pts and 11 boards (perfect 3-3 from the field) in only 24 mins(was in foul trouble the whole game) against the Nets.

    He seems to have gotten a new start, he's playing so fresh and is going after everything on the glass and Jameer and Francis are passing the ball to the kid more. I think he can avg a double double the rest of the year(14 and 11) to make a case for ROY. I think the biggest key to his play the last couple of games is his ability to hit his ft's. He's been on fire from the line(for his standards). He's made 8-8, 7-8, and 5-7 in his last 3 games from the line. I think he will be the key to our playoff surge, if he keeps playing like this, we are making the playoffs and we will move up in the seedings.

    I dont know what is happening with this team but it looks good and whatever it is... keep it going... Nelson is playing excellent and making great decisions, francis is making less turnovers and passes more, everyone else is too, D12 is playing great, this is going awesome... Jameer + Dwight = awesome

    Basically our starters are coming together. We now have prob the best backcourt of the season from Orlando. Jameer has shown potential all season, and now thats being realised. Stevie is relishing in his SG role now, able to feed off Jameer with less presure to make every play, and can run the floor more freely to get better shots.
    Hill has been solid, and if its possible, hes even more solid now. Dwight has made improvements every game, he seems to learn a new trick, move or get a little bit more experience each game. Progress is great on him.
    Cato is chipping in even more now. I am a big fan of Kelvin and his past few games have been really nice, picking up good points and rebounds and just making our forward pairing seem really dominant.

    Its going good, touch wood it continues!
