What up? Ya’ll ready for Game 4 tonight? It’s a big one, for sure.
Yes, we’re up in the series, but we can’t even look at it like that. We have to act like we’re down and we absolutely have to have this game. Really, this is like a Game 7, do-or-die for us. We were really goo din that situation in Boston and we’ve been pretty consistent all year in games that we had to win. So let’s go in here tonight with that hunger that we gotta absolutely win this game.
Right now, we’re so close to our goal and the only thing on our minds is reaching that goal that we want to accomplish so bad. That’s what motivates us. We want that goal of winning a championship and that’s keeping us hungry.
I just have to focus on keeping my cool out there tonight because I can’t afford getting any more T’s. It’s frustrating sometimes with me getting hit, but I have to keep my cool and go to the next play. I’m getting too close to getting another technical foul sometimes, so I have to find a way to keep my composure.
So tonight I have to keep my elbows down and keep my mouth shut. I’m thinking about duct-taping my mouth and put some elbow pads on just in case my elbows fly.
Of course, everybody is asking me about Mo Williams guarantee, but we ain’t putting much into that stuff. I would just say to everybody that there’s scripture that says: Pride comes before the fall. Being too prideful isn’t good, especially when it comes to the game of basketball.
I guess that’s how Mo feels, but we’ll see how it goes in the game. That’s the only place where it really matters – in the game tonight.
I’m hyped and ready to go and hope ya’ll are too. We’ve still to get two more wins, and this one tonight is like the most important game all year to us.
Peeeeeeaccccce out. — DWIGHT

good luck tonight Dwight!!! I know you and the rest of the team have the talent, the heart and the brains to WIN this!! I mean the whole team has these qualities even down to the bench! Just get your guys fired up tonight! And go out there and beat these trash talkers!!! Keep your head tonight Dwight, and you’ll be all right! I say go with the duct tape and definitely go with the elbow pads!!
YOUR’E THE BEST PLAYER IN THE PLAYOFFS! Don’t let the hype get you. Keep doing your thing Dwight! Everyone has seen your pressence in the playoffs, and we all, but especially me are very impressed with your ability to step up and play such a big roll for your team, at such a young age, and at such a crucial time in basketball. Don’t let the bull**** calls get you down, there’s a reason (you) one of the youngest in the league is also the strongest, and i believe they mean that both physically and mentally. Just keep going at every player on their team, like you have been, like the defensive mvp and you’ll be just fine. Also tell Van Gundy you need more touches in between big three point shots, because a big three from Turkey/Rashard, mixed with a powerful dunk by you can really affect the crowd and your momentum in our stadium. So good luck tonight Dwight! Bump it up to 15 games of your last 16 that you got a double double!!
Dwight you’s a beast it murkin season tonight go murk the cavs and send lebron shot next time he try to bring it in the lane. Hope this time the ref dont’t call a crazy foul like he did on that shot at the end of game 3. Hahaha. Ppppeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaccccccceeeeeeee out Dwight. Superman them cavs.
I have been following the Magic and driving from St. Pete to watch games since 1989. This year has been by far the most exciting…the reason being because we are a team, not an individual like the Lakers and Cavs. It’s the same reason Denver is in it still. Teamwork. Remember that when you get upset…you don’t act the DIVA like the other two, but you are our franchise player and you keep the team and the fans motivated and entertained. You will get your respect and it will be soon. Keep being a team player…St. Pete and Tampa are watching!!!
Good luck tonight, Dwight! I’ll be watching and rooting for you guys! Just remember, it’s not about the Lakers and the Cavs!!! LAKER FANS WANT YOU GUYS TO MAKE IT!!! :] You show those Cavs who the real champions of the East are!!! The media doesn’t know a darn thing about Bball, which is why the are cheering for your opponents. It’s all about the King, right? Well, I think Superman can defeat the King anyday. ;]
Can’t wait for the game tonight! :]
When LeBron puts that ball to the floor he’s gonna do something. Don’t react by fouling. It’s better to give him 2 than 3. Keep the focus. Play smart. Passion not emotion. Play strong. Use your energy to motivate your team and the crowd. They can’t get that if you’re on the bench in foul trouble. You have nothing to prove by playing THEIR game. Play MAGIC basketball and the rest will take care of itself, Killer.
As for Mo, Curly, and the rest of the stooges: They can’t ride the work horse while he’s plowing the field and expect the job to get done.
You’ve got to read this article by Sports Illustrated. Finally the truth is coming out: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/05/26/officials/index.html?eref=si_topstories
Great Article S. Generis. The media is finally talking…http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/05/26/officials/index.html?eref=T1
Do you believe in Magic? Of course I do. Love ya babe. Do you’re thing tonight. Good Luck
Have a great game tonight!! Take the Lord with you on the court…watch your mouth and your ‘bows… I’m praying for you and the team
Dwight good luck tonight! Well not just to you to the whole team (tell them for me LOL). The Cavaliers are a good team we all know that but remember with the heart and drive anyone can be that good team. Its up to you guys to make yourselves a great team!
Stay true and hungry for the game- keep your shooting strong and keep your defence tight.(Im pretty sure you want to play with your teamates in the championship so watch the T’s) That means you’ll have to watch those elbows of yours and watch what you say LOL.
ya gurl

How about this one from Proverbs 11:2 –
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.”
Good luck tonight, be humble!!
Yo Dwight, you need to holler at the folks at Adidas and get Chauncey and do some commercials w/ puppets. It would be HILLLLARRRIOUUSSS. It’s also much needed man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know you could get them to do it, and I’m sure Chauncey would want to!
Good luck!!!! GO MAGIC!!!!
Mighty Dwighty is going to pull through today..I can feel it.
Interesting site, but much advertisments on him. Shall read as subscription, rss.
Watching the OT and D12 was awsone on the block on LBJ and we know Varejo fouled you on that inbound play. It’s 115 to 111 with 6.4 seconds left..LBJ just hit the three…But not the one to win..Lol now I see you with Craig….3-1 baby yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! YES! YES! Congratulations!!!! They showed that damn Lebron commercial after the game.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What a win!!!!!!!!!
Dwight,
What you have to understand in the play offs its all in who you know. Obviously playing against Lebron you have to understand that he will get more fouls than any player in the whole league. I personally believe there is alot of favoritism in the league but its nothing no one can really do. Just keep your head up, take em to to the hole, and help your team to that ring!!
Love, respect, and faith!!

ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

dwight, play your heart out for game 5 and then please please please hook me up with some finals tickets…ill get u some mcdonalds at halftime and throw it to u as u go in the locker room.
seriously.
You guys have to take care of business & you have to play the smartest game of your life man in Game 5. I’m already worried about the officiating with the series heading back to Cleveland & I’m worried about them calling a cheap tech on you to get you out of Game 6 to give Cleveland their best chance of tying the series before heading back home for Game 7.
Varejao is an instigator out there to get under your skin and believe me, he’ll be trying to do whatever he can in Game 5 to get that 7th tech on you. Don’t take the bait!
Ok so that game was crazy… Dwight way to come up big in OT…. You dropped 10 in OT and hit two huge foul shots. Way to go… So what dance song did you have playing in your head tonight when you were at the line.
Ok so what are the Networks going to do with all those Kobe and Lebron commericals? I mean those puppets are super funny but how come there is no Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony puppets funning around?? LOL….. I mean then there is the Vitamin Water commericals… I am from Orlando and I just want to see Dwight howard on TV just once…..
Congradulations, guys! It was a tense, tight game. Dwight, I’m glad you managed to overcome your fear of making fouls in the overtime, and gave your team precious points. I don’t know the name of the man that got off that critical three-pointer near the very end of regulation, but send him my regards as well. That moment was nearly heart-stopping for me. You and your team have my sympathy for the things that didn’t go your way, those moments where you’d like to kick yourselves for not doing everything the way you’d hoped. Don’t worry about those. You won. You did great. There’s no sense in thinking about what might have been.
Good job taking the lead, all of you. You played hard, you played well, and you prevailed against some strong opponents. For going into next game, I ask of you, as someone who’d like to see you and your team win, don’t get complacent. I’m sure you’re coach is going to tell you all the same thing, and I’m sure you know it already, but even though this was a game you had to do, and despite the fact your team has been rewarded with a powerful edge, this series isn’t done. Just keep your heads up and, as you say, keep on fighting.

LETS GO MAGIC!! and beat the clavs again in their home court!!
