Stan Van Gundy post game interview:

“I think you have to give our perimeter players a lot of credit to get beat off the dribble that many times to allow him to get 10 blocks,” Van Gundy joked. “I think that they definitely did their part in that. They were very, very helpful, so I think he owes part of it to them.”

This kind of reply is overused already. Seems like every coach whose player gets a ton of blocks makes this sort of joke. I remember reading a similar quote last year and it was about Camby leading the league in blocks.

They need to put Howard in a different league with players like his kind, because he is beyond this league.

*fantasy owners must having a party right now*

I couldn't believe Yahoo had him ranked in the high 30's, preseason. Eff the FT%. This guy is an MVP candidate. You don't draft MVP candidates in the 3rd round. Hey Ralphie, you're still last in blocks, and in the bottom of steals and rebounds, plus you're first in FT%. You still don't want to do DH12 for Joe Johnson? Never mind, the trade is off the table!

It was interesting, in the race to the MVP (or whatever it's called) on NBA.com at the beginning of the season they excused placing him as low as they did by saying that when Shaq had an MVP season he average 30 and 10 while Dwight only posted something like 20 and 10 last year. It looks like he might be having an MVP type season.

I love having him on some of my Fantasy B-ball Teams...
