Dan Savage Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 The Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, Mar. 21, through Sunday, Mar. 27. It marks the sixth time this season, which is an NBA-high (LeBron James-5; Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade-4), and the 17th time of his career that Howard has earned the league's top weekly honor. http://www.nba.com/magic/news/howard_player_of_the_week_032811.html 2 Quote

ThisIsTheYear Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 He's the best center in the Southeast division, no doubt. Quote
DuhonsEmptyLiquorBottle Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Best center in the state of Florida, for sure. Quote

ThisIsTheYear Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Wow, Dwight's actually averaging 1.3 steals per game? Dude's a thief on pick and roll defense. One of the most underrated aspects of his defensive game. Quote

Live or Die Magic Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 The real story is the Bulls resurgence. If we viewed all of those stats in a vacuum, Dwight would be the clear frontrunner. But the Magic are coming off back-to-back 59 win seasons and back-to-back appearances in the ECF. So if anything, the Magic are being viewed as underachievers. The Bulls have jumped from an 8th seed cupcake to the #1 seed in the conference in one season. Rose is getting all the credit - deservedly so - for the Bulls turnaround. I think Dwight deserves it, but I think the above represents the mindset of the voters. Quote
