Um yeah...
Apologizies for not getting this out sooner. I guess I was torn. My Warriors played literally, their worst game of the year, yet Dwight Howard, put on one of the best individual power forward performances in the last 10 years. Acording to the great Elias Sports Bureau, "Dwight Howard scored a career-high 30 points and collected 25 rebounds in Orlando's 91-76 victory at Golden State. Howard became only the second NBA player in the last 10 years to reach those levels in a regulation game. The other was Lorenzen Wright, who had 33 points and 26 rebounds for Memphis on Nov. 4, 2001."
So, um, yeah, I guess you could say he was ballin'. Dover and I just sat there. I was in amazement of A. mostly Howard, and:
B: The hotness of Andris Biedrins girlfriend, who, I guess I haven't mentioned in this space yet, but sits one row in front of me at the games, and DAM she is FLY. Way too tall for me, obviously a little too tan for the middle of January, but so obviously Scandanvian/Eastern European looking with her natuaral blond hair, pointed nose, and style of a girl who is bangin' an pro basketball player.
Back to Howard, all i kept saying anytime he came to our side of the court, was "look how fucking big he is." Even though he and Andris are about the same height, and approximately the same age, Howard dwarfs Biedrins. From the opening tip, (which he won) to the final free throw that netted him his career high of 30 points, he was cleaning the glass, and dunking on anyone the Warriors through at him. I don't remember Karl Malone at that age, before his jumper, and crafty below the rim moves of the back to back finals years, but I honestly think that this dude is going to tilt the balance of power to Eastern conference fairly soon.
I have nothing to say about the Dubs. They should have won this game. Up 5 at the half, which included 10 first quarter turnovers, they missed 21 of 25 shots and all 3 three point attempts in the third quarter on their way to scoring 10 points. Truely dismal.
Baron is hurting. The whole team is hurting. Pietrus started the game wearing the mask, (which incidentally was the result of a DHoward elbow to the nose from their meeting in early December), which he later threw to the scorers table in disgust. BD came out of the second half without both black wrist guards that he started with. It didn't matter. The Dubs gave up a season high 56 rebounds to the Magic, of which, well, you can guess, Howard had most of. The Warriors are lucky that the only have to see the Magic twice a year, because this kid is going to be SHAQ type special. Hopefully you read the link from yesterday's post from Eric Neel of ESPN.com page2, because the Magic guards don't even have the patience yet to run the offense through Howard. He score all his points on put backs and about 12-15 shots a night. Once they start running the offense through him, and if they can get a legit point guard, other than Carlos Arroyo or Jameer Nelson, the Magic are going to be sitting atop the Eastern Conference for years to come.
Dubs bounce back tomorrow against the defending NBA champions Miami Heat, to even their record at 19-19.
