This is a little off topic but relevant.

Dwight Howard is a monster. They guy is huge and he has some quickness. I didnt realize how big he was until I watched last nights game. The way he was stepping around Curry - it was scary. A lot has been made of the Lakers taking a gamble on the "next Shaq" but I think Orlando has been blessed with a second chance when they got Howard.

Curry is a good center and he can become better - I think the team needs to get a big man in to teach him, like maybe Pat Ewing???? He seems to have done good work with Yao Ming.

I actually was less impressed with Howard last night than I expected to be, I think Curry and Frye for the most part played him well. I think he needs a lot more refinement and ferociousness to his game. He looked light years behind Amare on both counts judging by last night's performance.

I concur. But he will be a beast. He needs to develop some post moves. He doesn't have the explosiveness of Amare, but Amare wasn't then and still isn't refined in the post.

How about Herb Williams?

Both Herb Wiliams and Mark Aguirre have been working with Eddy. It looks like we will benefit from it if Eddy can stay healthy. I wouldn't mind seeing Curry drop 29/9 more often.

Ya.....Howard's a man beast.

And the scary thing is that he JUST turned 20...
