[Leetonidas]

I wish there was some way the Spurs could get him.

:flipoff Sixers need to fire Mo Cheeks!

[1Parker1]

Although, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of hoping that the Sixers don't make the playoffs and the Magic do instead. At least they'll give the Pistons some trouble!

[ShoogarBear]

Magic were eliminated long ago.

Howard is a beast.

I think DRob was quicker and faster but Howard is much more developed/stronger than DRob at this point of his career.

I am looking forward to the Amare vs Howard games..those guys are going to go at eachother..oh yeah and I am glad that we will only play Orlando twice a year. that team is going to be REAL good..

Dwight Howard is a beast. Somebody here said something along the lines of "Dwight Howard is going to own the league in a few years" and I completely agree. That guy is really talented and he can only get better. He's going to have a few 30+ Rebound games, probably.

Here you have the list of the highest total rebounds by a player in a single game, since 1988 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/TRB_game.html). There are 32 performances with over 26 rebounds, in 18 years.

Other out-of-this-world performances, include: Kevis Willis' 29/31 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=1991-12-03&tm1=ATL&tm2=DAL), Charles Oakley's 26/35 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=1988-04-22&tm1=CHI&tm2=CLE), Chris Webber's 51/26 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=2001-01-05&tm1=SAC&tm2=IND), Charles Barkley's 34/26 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=1995-03-24&tm1=PHO&tm2=HOU), Dikembe Mutombo's 27/29 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=1999-12-14&tm1=ATL&tm2=MIN), and Shaquille O'Neal's 24/28 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/games/boxscore.cgi?date=1993-11-20&tm1=ORL&tm2=NJN)... and now, this barely 20 y.o. beast. God help us all.

I can believe, because I feel the same way and so do hundreds of other Sixers fans.

There is no point in going to the playoffs if you can't possibly make it out of the first round, IMO. Sixers vs. Detroit again, just like last year, the Sixers might get hot and take 1, but the Pistons will win easy.

Go to the lottery and try to get a better draft pick.

Magic were eliminated long ago.
Actually, it appears not. I t would take a hell of a lot, but the Magic could still get the 8 seed.

I'm hal-hoping for the Wiz to get eliminated, just so I don't have to watch Arenas ball-hogging any more.
