Got us another good `W’ on Tuesday against the Clippers at home. Did ya’ll see your boy’s fastbreak assist when I looked like Magic Johnson making the dish? Everybody on the bench and in the crowd went nuts when I made that pass. Folks go crazier over that sort of stuff now than they do for a dunk.

Wanted to tell you guys again about our auction that we’re having because it’s good some new autographed stuff and some gear from the all-star game back last month in Dallas. Remember some of the profits from this auction are going to provide scholarships for underprivileged kids to my summer basketball camps in Orlando and Atlanta. It’s for a really good cause, so I’m hoping you guys snap up all the stuff real soon.

Here’s what we got this week up on e-Bay. Remember, the name is DwightStuff12:

Heyyyyyy wooorrld!!! Now that’s what I call a big win!!! Hope y’all all got to see it ‘cause it was a loud and rowdy at Amway Arena as it has been all season. It felt like last May and June in the playoffs with the noise and the way the players were going at one another.

We needed a game like that to sharpen our focus for what we’re about to face in a month in the playoffs. That was two great teams going at it hard. It got nasty and physical, but hey that’s how it goes in the playoffs. It just comes down to your will and refusing to lose.

Since I’m a dog lover, I’ll break it down for you this way: You had a team of pit bulls (us) and a team of cane corsos (da Lakers), and that’s what happens in a game like that. It gets nasty with claws flying and dudes biting and scratching and scrapping. We’re the pit bulls cause pit bulls are a little shorter and cane corsos are a little taller. But hey, we kept scrapping and we got the job done.

Plus, we had heard some yapping from the Lakers that we were considered “puppy dogs,’’ so that gave us a little more motivation. We had to show them that we had the fight and the bite of an alpha dog.

I’ve got to give it up to my man Matt Barnes, who fought Kobe Bryant tooth and nail all afternoon. We don’t win that game without him getting into Kobe and keeping the pressure on him all day. He was contesting shots, fighting for rebounds and he made that huuuuuuuuuuge 3 late in the game to put us up by six points.

And what can I say about my main partner, Jameer Nelson??? That dude is playing so well lately, and that’s a big reason why we have been better. The lil’ man is just fearless driving down the lane and getting on the boards.

‘Meer was the second best rebounder in the game, second to yours truly of course. I gotta say this, ‘Meer is the best dwarf rebounder in the NBA today!!!

I’m so proud of how we kept scrapping and didn’t fold. We knew we’d get the Lakers best shot ‘cause they had lost their last two and they came at us hard several times. But we did what championship teams do – they fought back and fought back again.

I know everybody out there already has the Lakers and Cleveland in the Finals again, and that might be who everybody in America wants to see. But we might have something to say about that again. When we play our brand of ball like we did on Sunday, we know we’re capable of beating any team in the league.

Now, we’ve just got to maintain our intensity and close out the regular season with a hot streak. We want to hit the playoffs playing our best basketball and take no prisoners. That’s having that pit bull mentality and we’re starting to really get it.

Y’all be good and take care out there!!!

When we go on roadtrips, our guy Sid brings along extra shoes and jerseys for me because he knows I get a kick out of giving them away to fans. I love seeing the looks on kid’s faces when I give them a jersey or hand them one of my Adidas shoes.

I like wearing a new pair of shoes to every game, so I might as well give them away. Remember how good a new pair of shoes felt when you were a kid? I always felt like I could dunk on a 15-foot goal when I had a new pair of shoes.

Anyway, here is the stuff that we have now on e-Bay. We’re about to add some of the gear that I wore in the All-Star Game in Dallas soon, so ya’ll keep a close eye out for that.

Here’s what we’ve got in the auction:
3 Autographed Jerseys
6 Commander T-Shirts
3 Complete Pair–TS BOUNCE COMMANDER
2 Complete Pair–AST TS Commander Howard
1 Complete Pair–AST TS Commander Howard LT Finals Edition Game 2
1 Complete Pair–AST NBA Bounce ARTI

Remember my Ebay name is Dwightsstuff12.

Alright y’all. Take care!

I’ve been telling my guys for weeks that everybody on this team has to step up their game because I was going to have a down night sooner or later. And when I was struggling against the Heat, I was so glad to Marcin, B-Bass and J.J. play as well as they did and Rashard kind of broke out of it since he’s been struggling.

I’ve kind of had to learn on these nights when I can’t stay on the floor because of fouls that I have to trust my teammates to get the job done. We have a team with a lot of weapons and on those nights when I’m not that effective I just have to tell myself to keep playing hard and trust my teammates.

Getting into foul trouble can be very frustrating. It’s easy to get caught up in the emotions of it. Of all people, D-Wade actually helped me keep my cool out there on the floor. One time, I was so mad I was about to fire the ball all the way up to the planet Krypton. D-Wade actually told me to not get so frustrated and just take it out on our next opponent.

On a night like this, I just kept telling myself to keep my head and remember the big picture. My teammates are going to need me down the stretch and I have to be smart about it. I can’t afford to be picking up any more T’s the rest of the season.

Well, we’re in Philly on Monday night. We have the craziest schedule right now. We just got off a two-game roadtrip, we played at home one game, then we go to Philly, come home for one game, then go back on the road to Jersey and then we’re back at home to play the Lakers. That’s the life of a pro athlete and you’ve gotta love it. I’m just trying to get my rest and not let all this travel catch up to me.

Well, I’m outta here. Hit me up on Twitter and Facebook. Peace out, ya’ll.

Last night’s game was crazy, ya’ll!!! Before the game, the media and my teammates were all telling me about how I could set the Magic record for the most double-doubles in a row. Then, I go out there and get two fouls in 22 seconds!!! I was so mad at myself because I thought I had messed up my chance at getting the record. Ya’ll know that I’m all about winning, but it was pretty cool to have a chance to do something that nobody in a Magic uniform has ever done.

But when I got back in the game, I just made up my mind that I was gonna be aggressive on both ends of the floor and let the chips fall wherever they may. I wasn’t gonna let the early fouls take me out of attack mode or staying hungry.

And that worked ‘cause it helped me play really well and it helped us get a huge lead on the Rockets. We slipped up some in the second half and let them get back in the game, but I really think we had it the whole way.

I try to learn something from every single game ‘cause I’m still kind of a young player in this league and what I will take out of that Houston game is that just because I get off to a bad start or get a few early fouls it doesn’t mean I can’t still have a big night. And I have to remember that just because I get a couple of fouls that I can’t let it affect my mindset. It still has to be attack, attack, attack!!!

Not sure if you guys saw it or not, but Vince Carter broke my record for the longest shot while sitting down earlier this week. I can’t believe he got some run on SportsCenter by making that shot. Here’s kind of what happened if you didn’t see the video.

After getting up shots and free throws with Patrick Ewing, I started playing around with one of our ballboys, seeing if I could make a sitting-down shot from the other free throw line. After a few minutes of doing it, Vince joined in. I hit the backboard a couple of times, then hit the rim and got so close to making the shot.

WE realized we were actually too close and backed up a few more feet. Not sure if people realize how hard it is to throw a basketball 86 feet without your legs!!! I had a couple that were on line and I really thought they were going in … and then VC went and made one. It was crazy.

I know I’ll never hear the end of it from him now. He was telling me that he was better at it because he used to be a quarterback in middle school. They measured his shot at 86 feet, so now I’ve got something to shoot for because I know I can make that shot, too.

It’s just something silly we do from time to time to help us get through a long season. And we’re all so competitive and something like that really gets me going.

I like the flow we have going right now as a team, and I think we’re starting to peak at the right time. We just have to finish the regular season strong and then hit the playoffs firing on all cylinders!!! We do that and that ‘chip will be ours this year.

Take care, y’all!!!
