| Dwight is important this series. Dwight deserves a ring for his turnaround and commitment this season. |

Guy needs to play more - glad Vogel made the adjustment and Dwight responded
Jokic don’t like that physicality |

| He was just manhandling Jokic. That was beautiful. Also both he and AD did a nice job taking advantage of Jokic's slowness in transition. Keep making him run, you can tell it's hard for him. |

This man is the Team Captain of the Redeem Team right now.
After how his first stint in LA took him to the bottom of the valley and then Kobe's death hit him as hard as it did, I almost want Dwight to get a ring here more than anyone. |

He was doing the same thing in the regular season against him. Lakers could very well have the 2 best Jokic defenders in the NBA on there team and then you have McGee as well who is extremely solid against him too and even though he's only the third best defender against him on the Lakers he's still far and away better then anyone else he's faced in the previous rounds. It's why I was shocked anyone was seriously worrying about losing this series as even the slightest possibility. The only possibility is mayyybe getting one win, that's there ceiling against these Lakers. |

+1 I was against the signing, but he's matured and become a huge favorite of mine. I like this version of Dwight...definitely want him back with Boogie.
Also shout out to LBJ...his leadership and focus is a sight to behold...
a true Leader of Men.

| So happy that Dwight was able to have a real impact in a playoff game. Makes that ring worth that much more when he earns it |

I will not be surprised if we see real tears dripping down the Jokers face at some point before the series is over in the next 3 games. |

Lebron is the 3rd best defender. So we actually have 4. If Dwight get into foul trouble, I think McGee can step in and definitely can do better job than Zu or Trez. |

You're right, didn't even think of Lebron when I wrote that. Just kind of shows the matchup nightmare Jokic is going to deal with all series long. Doesn't even matter if he gets a guy or two in foul trouble. |

Such a difference maker.
We forget how good he was.

His game showed this wasn't empty talk. Love the attitude he's shown ever since the Lakers picked him up a year ago. Keep it up man. |

Glad to see the extended rest he got during the Rockets series gave him more energy instead of rust.
Is it too early for 'Stay Dwight' billboards? :p |
