First for foremost, I have to give a shout-out to all of the fans who joined me last night on the Twitter chat during the game. At one point during the game, we had more than 10,000 people following me. That’s just cra-zeee to me. But thanks yall for the support. It really helped me get through a frustrating situation.

Now, how about my teammates??? They were awesome. Those boys went out there with something to prove and they really did me proud. They dominated that game from start to finish and never gave Philly an ounce of hope. That’s how we have to play on both ends of the court if we want to keep winning in the playoffs and bring that championship back to O-town.
The Polish Hammer was dunking on their heads. J.J. was drilling those 3s. Rafer was doing his thing. And ‘Shard was a beast on the low block. Everybody pitched in and helped out and it was cool to see the whole team working together like that.
As for my suspension, everybody knows that was out of character for me. I don’t play mean or ever try to hurt anyone. That’s just not me at all. All my fans and teammates know that I’m playing to win and I’m all about having fun.
That suspension I got was fair I guess. I’m more mad at myself than anything that I let Philly’s big dudes get in my head. I have to learn from this and keep my cool in the next series.
But I’m just so happy with the way my teammates played. They were incredible.
Thank yall for tweeting with me in the game. I was hating not being out there on the court, but I actually had a fun night with my fam and my fans.
Let’s keep this winning going. We really think we can do it this year, but it’s going to take all of us staying together. Goooooo Magic!!!!

Dwight!!! Dude, we got it done! The guys did amazing, I was at a big party and we were all watching the game. J.J.- Where did that come from? He stepped up BIG, Gortat was pretty darn good. They handled not having you or Courtney really well. But, now you are back and (Lord, please be willing!) Courtney coming back, we are seriously going to be kicking some playoff butt to get the the finals. I seriously believe we can get the championship, don’t let us down. You guys are so capable of dominating the playoffs… let’s do it. Lebron, who? Kobe, who? I will tell you who, Dwight “Superman” Howard! Yeahhh, baby!
I don’t agree with the NBA if they don’t suspend Rondo for throwing Kirk Heinrich into the boards AND throwing an elbow at him. Especially after your suspension.
It looks like you guys had a blast on the twitter chat last night!
Anyway, I hate to say I Told You So, but…. I Told You So! lol
I just knew your teammates would step up, huge win!
Now I want to see you in the Eastern Conf. Finals and anything can happen… You don’t have to see it to believe it, you have to believe it to start seeing it!

So proud of the entire Magic team. I knew they were going to bury the sixers. Keep up the good work and bring that gold trophy to O-town. Go Magic. Thanks for the live blog Dwight that was really nice and I’m glad you had so many people keeping you company at your hotel and online. Sound like you guys had a really good time. Now it’s time for round 2, you ready?
I’m so excited for you. I will definately be cheering you on in the next round, can’t wait. See ya on the court.
Once again I would like to say thank you for allowing me and everyone else to chat with you Thursday night. It was amazing, even though you weren’t able to keep up with a lot of what was said or asked. I’m truly glad that you are playing today for game 7, and let your teammates know it’s not time to slack off bc you are back, but to continue to go hard. Even though i’m based in Atlanta, i’m still routing for you guys. Alot of my friends and peers are giving me alot of grief, but like your suspension this to shall pass (exspecially when you all take home the championship). Good Luck tonite!
Peac, Love, and Blessings
