Some Quick Thoughts on Last Night's Game



- How can Dwight Howard have no post moves? He does a spastic dribble to the right with a runing hook, and thats only half a post move at best. The one time he tried to drop step a la Shaq on a much slower Pow! Gasol, he hesitated and didn't use his world class quickness or strength. I'm not axeing for a dream shake or anything, but if Dwight is gonna be the Christ child, then he should at least have a bevvy of post moves equal to Chris Kaman.

- Hows this for a cross racial sports comparison: Rashard Lewis plays a lot like Peja Stojakovic back in the 'Wait the Kings are good?' era. The quick, hand in his face release, the too tall but still effective dribbling, even the blank cool guy expression. Except Rashard Lewis is a slightly better athlete and has about a 30+ clutch rating compared to ol' Pedrag.

-TNT showed Kobe's dragon snarl like 8 times, and I loved it. Trevor Ariza looks like a little kid trying too hard to impress his Iraqi war vet dad when Kobe gives him that look.

-Also, Kobe is showing Mikeal Pietrus what 'Merrica has to offer. Its awesome.

I personally don't like the Mamba, he gives me the creeps, but I'm rooting for his greatness in this series.
