The Post Up: Dwight Does Some Damage
Early exit from LeBron, Calderon has been almost perfect and Yao comes up big.
By Holly MacKenzie
I loved watching the Raptors last night. Jose Calderon is just playing out of his mind. Another 10 assist, 0 turnover performance. That means for the past four games he has dished a crazy 45 assists with only 3 turnovers. As much as I like watching him play, I love his passion and intensity on the bench. He reminds me of Steve Nash in that respect, constantly cheering his teammates on and willing them to get up and stay intense for the duration of the game. Even when they are up by 20.
Did anyone else find it weird that LeBron changed into his street clothes at halftime? Maybe it’s just that I don’t usually notice players when they don’t return to play and with LeBron I couldn’t help but notice him as we had constant close-ups of his injured hand which also happened to be full on crotch-shots. Come on cameramen, did we really need 18 close-ups on the same wrapped hand? I think not. It was absolutely insane to see the Cavs breakdown without LeBron. We all know he is their MVP but, damn.
The Warriors comeback was great to watch. I can’t believe Sacramento went scoreless in the final 3:43 of the game. That is just horrible. Stephen Jackson is always fun to watch but he really has been the difference for Golden State since he has returned. His energy is infectious and his impact immeasurable on the team. They look like the confident guys from the playoffs last year and that downcast, defeated team from the first few games of the season has all but disappeared.
Dwight was untouchable last night. Seattle didn’t have a hope in hell of stopping him and they tried throwing everything they had at him. Collison ended up having his nose broken by the Kobe swat the night before and he missed that game and will miss at least two more before being evaluated by doctors. Dwight’s nine dunks were beautiful. His whole game was beautiful and even his free throws looked better. I had been toying with the idea of going to Seattle to catch the game and again, I am kicking myself this morning as I should have gone! Oh well, it was great to see even if it was via television rather than live. I feel so badly for the Seattle fans. They will be losing their team soon enough and the Sonics are still winless at home? Brutal. Get a home win, and soon.
Yao was huge against Phoenix last night and that is enough about that. Tony Parker had a great game for San Antonio and I was happy to see Atlanta win. With so many games on the schedule and hockey being all over the place here in Canada, I haven’t even been able to catch the highlights from all of the games yet, so I look forward to seeing those from the Dallas/Minnesota game as well as the Indiana/Portland contest. Tonight it is Golden State/Houston, Denver/Lakers and Boston/NY. Should be interesting.
Utah 106 Philadelphia 95
After stopping the Bucks in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, the 76er’s returned home to Philadelphia and Utah made sure it was not a nice homecoming. While the game was a close one in the 1st quarter, Utah outscored Philly in both the 2nd and 3rd quarters to build a 77-68 lead at the start of the 4th. In the final period, Carlos Boozer went to work, scoring 12 of his 26 points in the quarter to ensure Utah did not surrender their lead. It worked, as Philadelphia did not get any closer than five points for the rest of the game. Utah shot 54.9% for the game while Philadelphia trailed, knocking down only 42.9% of their shots. In addition to Boozer’s 26 points, Ronnie Brewer had 19 and Deron Williams scored 15 points and dished 15 assists while Mehmet Okur added 16 points of his own. Andre Iguodala led Philly with 20 points, Andre Miller had 16 and Louis Williams added 13.
Toronto 103 Memphis 91
While the Raptors were without TJ Ford again and lost both Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani in the contest against the Grizzlies last night, they still had Jose Calderon and that was all they needed. While Memphis outscored Toronto by two in the 1st quarter, they faded fast in the 2nd quarter and the Raptors outscored them by 20 as they held them to only 10 points in the quarter to blow the game wide open and take an 18-point halftime lead. Memphis shot only 3-19 in the quarter. The rest of the way, was more of the same and it wasn’t until the 4th quarter that Memphis seemed to find its footing again, in the garbage minutes of the game. The Raptors led by as many as 28 points in the game with seven players reaching double-figures. Anthony Parker had 19 points while Carlos Delfino and Jason Kapano each had 14 points and Jose Calderon added 13 points and 10 assists. Juan Carlos Navarro had 15 points to lead the Grizzlies while Pau Gasol added 13. Stromile Swift and Kyle Lowry each had 12 points in the loss.
Atlanta 96 Milwaukee 80
The Atlanta Hawks got a big win over the Bucks last night and it came as a result of their strong play in the final quarter to take control of the game and run away with the victory. Usually, it is in close situations where the youth of the Hawks show, last night it was their poise as they used a 13-2 run to shock Milwaukee. It was a game of runs as the Hawks held a 16 point lead in the 1st half before all but surrendering it on the 2nd, with Milwaukee getting as close as three before Josh Smith keyed the 13-2 run in the final period to stretch the lead and protect their victory. The Hawks can thank their reserves for the win as they outscored the Bucks bench 43-7 in the game. Atlanta had six players in double-figures with Joe Johnson leading the way, scoring 21 points. Al Horford and Josh Childress each had 12 points and Josh Smith added 10 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocked shots. Michael Redd had 24 points for the Bucks, while Mo Williams added 23 points and 9 assists but, also had 6 turnovers in the contest. Andrew Bogut was strong in the loss with 18 points 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game.
Detroit 109 Cleveland 74
After being on quite the roll this season, LeBron was stopped last night. It wasn’t the Piston’s defense that stopped him, it was an injured index finger that kept him on the bench in street clothes for the 2nd half of the game. The view from the bench wasn’t a nice one, as the Pistons turned a 48-43 halftime lead into a 109-74 thrashing without LeBron in the lineup. Detroit outscored Cleveland 61-31 in the second half as everything for Cleveland stood at a standstill without their superstar. Although he played only 20 minutes, all in the 1st half, LeBron was the Cavs leading scorer and finished with 15 points while Sasha Pavlovic had 13 points and Drew Gooden had 9 points and 9 rebounds in the loss. Richard Hamilton led the Pistons with 18 points while Tayshaun Prince had 16 and Antonio McDyess scored 14 points and pulled down 8 boards. While Detroit held Cleveland to 40% shooting in the game they shot 58.4% as a team.
San Antonio 109 Washington 94
While the Washington Wizards have performed well without Gilbert Arenas they were no match for San Antonio last night as the Spurs ran away with a 109-94 victory on their home court. While San Antonio was up 49-46 at the half, they took control in the 3rd behind Tony Parker’s five baskets in the quarter. While they extended their lead to as many as 18 points in the game, Washington showed some grit as they fought back in the 4th, cutting the lead down to six in the opening minutes of the quarter before Parker responded, scoring 10 points down the stretch to keep the Spurs on top. Parker finished with 29 points, 20 of them coming in the second half. He also had 11 assists and 8 rebounds in the game while Manu Ginobili had 19 points off of the bench and Tim Duncan finished with 16 points. Bruce Bowen held Caron Butler to 16 points for the Wizards while Antawn Jamison scored only 12 and Brendan Haywood led the team with 19 points.
Dallas 109 Minnesota 103
After dropping three straight, the Mavericks had a new-look starting lineup in their game against the Timberwolves. It ended up working as the Mavs held on for the 109-103 victory. Jason Terry and Erick Dampier slid into the starting lineup as Terry finished with 12 points and Dampier added 8 points and 10 rebounds. It was Dirk Nowitzki that came up big in the final minutes for Dallas, hitting six consecutive free throws to keep the Mavs on top. He was perfect from the line on the night, knocking down all 13 of his attempts and finishing with 27 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. Devin Harris had a role in the victory adding 22 points of his own on 9-10 shooting. Al Jefferson was huge for Minnesota, scoring 31 points and hauling down 14 boards while Rashad McCants finished with 21 points, none bigger than his three-point play that cut the Dallas lead to 108-103 with 29 seconds left in the game. Minnesota wouldn’t get any closer as Terry hit a free throw and Jefferson misfired in the final seconds, leaving Dallas free to claim the victory.
Houston 100 Phoenix 94
In a game that was close in the first half, Houston held on in the 2nd as Phoenix struggled to keep up, and ultimately came up short. While Amare Stoudemire had a nice game, he was no match for Yao Ming who finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 12-19 from the floor. While Houston led 56-52 at the half, the two teams were even in the 3rd, each scoring 21 points, leaving Houston up 77-73 at the start of the 4th. In the final period the Suns got within two points as they cut the lead to 96-94, but Yao and the Rockets stayed calm and they got a boost from Steve Francis off of the bench to help secure the victory. Francis finished with 9 points and 7 assists off of the bench, but his play of the game was a block on Stoudemire with 16.9 left on the clock and Houston up 4. While Steve Nash had a big night offensively as he led the Suns with 29 points, he dished only 6 assists as the Suns only had 18 team assists in the game. In addition to Yao’s big night, Tracy McGrady added 18 points and Rafer Alston had 15. Stoudemire finished with 25 points and 9 rebounds in the loss and Shawn Marion added 18 points, 9 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 blocked shots. Houston out-rebounded Phoenix 47-34 and shot 51.9% in the game while holding the Suns to only 41.5% field goals.
Golden State 103 Sacramento 96
It took until the final minutes, but Golden State found a way to win against the Kings, going on an 11-0 run to take the lead as Sacramento went scoreless over the final 3:43 of the game. Stephen Jackson was instrumental in the run, hitting two big threes within 20 seconds of each other to put Golden State up 98-96 with just over a minute left in the game. Monta Ellis hit two free throws with under a minute left, extending the lead to 100-96, and then Matt Barnes and Al Harrington added to the lead with free throws and the final score was 103-96. Besides Stephen Jackson’s 21 points, Monta Ellis had 22 points for Golden State and Baron Davis added 19. Kevin Martin was the high-scorer for Sacramento with 28 points in the loss while Ron Artest had 21 points and 9 rebounds and Brad Miller scored 10 points to go along with his 18 rebounds. The Kings out-rebounded Golden State by 10, but it was their inability to score when it mattered that did them in as they shot only 34.5% for the game.
Indiana 95 Portland 89
While Indiana played the night before, it was Portland who looked like they didn’t have their legs under them in their loss to the Pacers last night. In a first half that was close throughout, Portland led 46-42 at the break, but were helpless as Indiana broke out a 17-0 run in the 3rd to take a 67-55 lead going into the 4th. While the Pacers were again without Jermaine O’neal, their team came up big as Danny Granger led the way with 23 points and Mike Dunleavy added 20 points and 11 rebounds. Jeff Foster had 11 points and 17 rebounds, including 8 offensive giving the Pacers extra opportunities to score and hold off the Trailblazers. Jamaal Tinsley added 15 points, 10 assists and 5 steals. While Portland cut the Pacer lead to 89-86 on a jumper by Travis Outlaw with under a minute in the game, the Pacers responded with a jumper by Tinsley to seal the win. Outlaw led Portland with 26 points while Brandon Roy had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 22 points to go along with 9 rebounds.
Orlando 110 Seattle 94
While Rashard Lewis had his worst game of the season against his old team, his teammate Dwight Howard took care of business as he had a career-night to lead his team to a 110-94 victory over Seattle last night. On their way to the victory Orlando outscored Seattle in each of the four quarters in the game and as soon as there was a Seattle threat Keith Bogans stood strong, knocking down three three-pointers in the final four minutes of the game to keep the Magic on top. While Lewis finished only 3-19 from the floor for 9 points to go along with 10 rebounds, Howard scored a career-high 39 points to go along with 16 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. Seattle had no answer for him and he threw down nine dunks in the game. Carlos Arroyo had 14 assists for the Magic while Hedo Turkoglu added 15 points and 10 rebounds. In the loss Kevin Durant was the high-scorer for the Sonics with 22 points, but he shot only 6-21 from the floor.Wally Szczerbiak added 20 off of the bench and Damien Wilkins scored 14 as the Sonics were without Nick Collison for the first of three games after he sustained a broken nose in the Sonics loss to LA Tuesday evening.

Good morning America and good afternoon Europe! The MVP race is gonna be BIG. I know it’s only early but all the stars are out to play. I love this game.

Good afternoon. The MVP race is almost over. If LeBron keeps up the 30/8/8 and the Cavs make the playoffs and no team gets 65+ wins, nobody is gonna be really close. But yeah, I love it, too.

Hey I missed the games last night, what happened to the manchild? Is it serious?
Nov.29 at 9:32 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
Can’t fight that. the guy is just incredible. I hope he can keep playing like that for the rest of his career. Must be exhausted after eax=ch game. he has to do everything; I wouldn’t be surprised if it was him who drove the team bus after games.
Nov.29 at 9:34 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
I’m not big on this “man child nickname. It seems every big kid comin’ out of high school gets it. isn’t there another one for Howard. The Guys at Dime call him “the Centaur”. I don’t if it took on though.
Nov.29 at 9:39 am
Darksaber says:
Ok, the physique, the “i’ma dunk allover your A**” mentality, and the ridiculous stats. How about we just call Dwight the Nba’s HULK?
Nov.29 at 9:41 am
Darksaber says:
Or “Supie returns” since the original NBA Superman is sipping Kryptonite tainted Gaterode this season.
Nov.29 at 9:42 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
Yeah, I’m cool with that. Anything but the Manchild or D-How.
Nov.29 at 9:44 am
Darksaber says:
J-Ho, D-How, that’s just lazy nicknaming there, lazy. Might as well call him the “sticker” right? for obvious reasons.
Nov.29 at 9:45 am
white hot eboy says:
Darksaber, the original, fading Superman still beat upnon the new son of Krypton last week, so kill that talk until he can take the real one down on his own.

Actually, I was referring to LeBron and his injury. Is it serious?

And, at my age, I can call anyone a “manchild” if I want, BB.

Benoit, no one here is keen on taking things from Dime, solicited or unsolicited. As a SLAM fan, you should know this.
Nov.29 at 10:01 am
Keith says:
Dwight also has D-12 as a nickname but I don’t think that covers just how frightening the guy is.
Nov.29 at 10:03 am
Holly MacKenzie says:
Cheryl: Bron took a beating in the game. He sprained his index finger on a foul by Nazr Mohammed in the first half of the game. He played the half out but returned from the break in street clothes. He also took a shot to the face and they had to call a timeout for him and when he originally didn’t come out in the 2nd I thought it had something to do with his nose, but about halfway through the 3rd quarter, he had the hand wrapped and iced and we saw a couple hundred close-ups of it. X-Rays were negative and I thought it was funny that the ap recap said LeBron did not answer questions about it on is way to the bus as he carried a box of pizza. For some reason that image made me laugh.
Nov.29 at 10:06 am
Holly MacKenzie says:
He will be re-evaluated today and the Cavs are in Toronto tomorrow night where he may not play. I AM happy that I didn’t plan my flight home for Christmas around that game as that was a possibility. A Cavs game without LeBron would make me want to scratch my eyes out.
Nov.29 at 10:07 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
Cheryl, Eboy, i’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. My only point is that nicknames such as Manchild and the initial and three letters of the name tend to add to the generalization and confusion among the players. And howard is one of a kind so I think he deserves a nickname that really sets him apart. And I don’t want to take anything from Dime but they came up with the most original. That’s all. And by the way, Cheryl, I’m old enough to call him manchild too. But by lack of better idea, i’ll leave to you to nickname him.
Nov.29 at 10:14 am
white hot eboy says:
Is The Centaur really that good, Benoit? The only NBA player that has half-human, half horse-like features is Chauncey Billups and he’s not nicknamed Seabiscuit?
Nov.29 at 10:21 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
Good one. I’m not sure the centaur is such a great nickname, but it’s new and original. But we can definitly come on with a better suited one.

D-Howitzer.
Nov.29 at 10:27 am

Ryan, saying that out loud sounds like I’m a soldier for the Nazi’s, although the name is kind of cool.
Nov.29 at 10:28 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
I like the sound of that.
Nov.29 at 10:46 am
Ryan Jones says:
Yeah, the Teutonic implication doesn’t really fit Dwight, but I still think it could work. Don’t tell me the Magic PA guy wouldn’t love yelling “D-Howitzer with the BOOM!” after every dunk.
Nov.29 at 10:47 am
Ryan Jones says:
And just so I make sure I get paid, that’s “D-Howitzer™®©”
Nov.29 at 10:49 am
Keith says:
Just call him the Beast of the East and have done.
Nov.29 at 11:01 am
Benoit Benjamin says:
Ryan, you rock, I really like the sound of it, and it can catch up really good. I’m officially rooting for the D-Howitzer nickname.

Jones, while you contributions are as seldom as Heat wins, they always turn out to be pretty good.

D-howitzer fits. He is the heavy artillery. And really, anything but “D-ho”. I’m looking forward to the Yao-Howard matchup this year, with center supremacy at stake (sorry, old shaq). Howitzers have a tendency to destroy walls…even Great walls.

Lebron Vs. Dwight is what I was referring to by the way.
Nov.29 at 11:36 am
white hot eboy says:
Shia, so you’re taking D-Howitzer, since Lebron sits with a bum finger?
Nov.29 at 11:38 am
Captain America says:
Raptors are fun to watch, Holly, no question. The Warriors won are hard fought game with Artest coming close to getting tossed and fined once more. Twolves had the Mavs reeling in the second half.
Nov.29 at 11:40 am
Bryan says:
I’m just saying you might have to actually think about it before just snagging Bron.I’ll still take Bron though.But damn if I wouldn’t want 28points and 18rebounds in a couple of years.
Nov.29 at 11:42 am
Captain America says:
Bryan, I know you are capable of showing me the respect I so rightly deserve. So, I’ll just ignore your disdainful comment about me and chalk it up to you having another learning experience.
Nov.29 at 11:44 am

He has a strained groin and he looked pretty uncomfortable on the walk into the locker room. Bargnani also left the game after he knocked knees with Swift. I think they are both day to day and they face Cleveland tomorrow who could also be without LeBron.

Isn’t anyone else amazed at Calderon’s assist/turnover ratio? He has been playing great in the absence of TJ. I love it.
Nov.29 at 12:19 pm
Bryan says:
Yeah he’s a lot better than I thought he was Holly.
Nov.29 at 12:19 pm
Joel O's says:
What I love about Jose is that he cheers his entire team on and shows the same passion when they’re down 20. And he’s come such a long way as a shooter this last few years. I think the Raps are better with him starting and TJ coming in as a change-of-pace guy; the Raptors aren’t really a fastbreaking team, and they score a lot of points of ball movement to open shooters. I’d take Jose’s decision making over TJ’s blazing speed to start - because TJ, outstanding as he can occasionally be, tends to overdribble the ball…
Nov.29 at 12:23 pm
Benoit Benjamin says:
Calderon should be the starting PG for the Raps. And they should trade TJ for a center and play Bargnani at SF, subbing Moon.
Nov.29 at 12:25 pm
Holly MacKenzie says:
I like the TJ/Calderon combo although I prefer Calderon to get the majority of the minutes, ESPECIALLY in close-game situations. I also loved Sam Mitchell shutting up reporters for suggesting that Moon shouldn’t be on the team and questioning the TJ/Calderon situation. He just goes out there and kills it, doesn’t care who he’s talking to. Mitchell just lays it all out.
Nov.29 at 12:26 pm
Holly MacKenzie says:
Joel: read my paragraph about Calderon. We are on the same page for sure.
Nov.29 at 12:31 pm

I’ve never really watched him play but I really like TJ Ford.

White hot let me ask you how did Shaq Own Dwight if He only scored 3 More Points them him (20-17) and Dwight had a 13 Boards to Shaq’s 5? Plus (and most importantly) the Magic Blew the Heat the hell out the Building. Pat Riely Didn’t pull his starters untill there was only 1:30 left to play and D12 was chillin on the bench, and all shaq could rack up more was a dunk and free-throw? come on

I’ve Loved Shaq since 92 (half of you punk kids weren’t even born yet) but everyday its looking more and more like its a wrap. Its like when he came in we forgot aout the David Robinsons Patrick Ewings, Brad Daugherty (Look em up young’ns he was an all-star) D12 is Just Taking his Place. In 13 Years Some New Kid will show up and We’ll talk about when Dwight was young. Thats just the way it is, though Centers are getting a lot shorter. Now a days
Nov.29 at 1:28 pm

Endswing..don’t think you’re gonna come in here school everybody.Seriously get the f*ck over yourself.You pretentious bastard.
Nov.29 at 1:36 pm
Justin says:
whitehot,
As a Heat and Magic fan, I gotta say Shaq in NO WAY owned D12 in their meeting.
I was down in SoFla to see my family for Turkey Day and caught the Jackson/Tony broadcast of the match up (No Eric Reid). Tony and JayJax were commenting on how Riles how to pull Shaq out of the game in the 1Q since he was winded chasing D12 up and down the court.
Now as far as Shaq owning Foyle….OUCH! That jam was NASTY!
Nov.29 at 2:30 pm
white hot eboy says:
I wish I was here when you guys brought this up. Dwight is overmatched on the defensive end against Shaq. On the other end, not so much. Yes Shaq was winded from the chase but Dwight did most of his scoring while Shaq was seated and he was scroing over Alonzo and Haslem. Don’t fu*k with me boys. I’m tight with this sh*t.
Nov.29 at 2:34 pm
Bryan says:
Too little too late.I couldn’t even get a response and I said something very shortly after the first guy.
Nov.29 at 2:37 pm

Maybe their more Dime drops, Shia.
Nov.29 at 2:40 pm

Probably. F*ckin as*holes.

Hey, what did you think of Heroes, since Sam never really brought it up this week?
Nov.29 at 2:44 pm

I liked it. Hopefully next weeks will be amazing since its the season finale. F*ck the writer strike.I’m going back to Florida this weekend and not coming home til Monday hopefully I make it in time.
Nov.29 at 2:47 pm
white hot eboy says:
It was alright. But I hate that they can’t get the full season done. I think they could have set it up to be a much better season with more episodes.
Nov.29 at 2:49 pm
albie1kenobi says:
season’s over already? wasn’t the season premiere like maybe 6 weeks ago?
Nov.29 at 2:53 pm

It’s the writers strike albie. I agree Eboy. They had very little to work with.But maybe that gives them more for season three.
Nov.29 at 2:55 pm
white hot eboy says:
True.
Nov.29 at 3:20 pm
albie1kenobi says:
i wonder if the writer’s strike is gonna affect brilliant shows like shot of tila and i love new york.
Nov.29 at 3:41 pm
Johnnypinball says:
Holly: It’s cool that you make the Calderon-Nash comparison and the similarities go deeper than just cheer-leading abilities. While Calderon doesn’t usually put up the same assist numbers as Nash, the Raptors have a smoother offense when Jose’s directing the show, akin to the way that Nash makes the Suns offense flow.

I went back to see what Shaq’s numbers were vs D12 last year and then remembered they only faced each other once.

Look I know Shaq is “… like toilet paper, Pampers and toothpaste. I’m definitely proven to be effective.”
But D12 is looking the days like Diesel 92-95, while Diesel is looking like Ewing 92-95 vs Shaq 92-95. Still effective, but those younger legs will take it to him on some nights.
3 more match ups still to come. I’m sure Diesel will be looking to have a game vs D12 like he did against Yao on the Disney Channel last Friday night.

Justin, just as an aside, I clicked on your link, and you resemble Geroge Michael crossed with the guy who plays Carlos on Desperate Housewives. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

AHAHA Justin, you do resemble “Carlos” from Desperate Houswives! Have you ever been told that before?

Johnnypinball: I agree with you on Calderon. He is very confident out there and it seems to spread across the floor and the guys knock down their shots, run the floor better and just have that swagger that comes from believing in their floor general.
