I'm unsure as to what surprised me more, Dwight Howard's impressive performance in overtime of game 4 or the fact that he still hasn't developed a reliable post move that doesn't involve the word 'dunk.' He's been in the league for 5 years now! He can't shoot, he doesn't have a hook shot or a fadeaway, or a finger roll. It's simply amazing. He has the potential to be the most dominating center in the NBA for years to come, yet it doesn't appear like he's even improved that much offensively throughout the course of his career.
I also think that Cleveland wins that game if they had fouled Dwight Howard down the stretch. Howard is a sub 60% free throw shooter and the Cavs allowed him to score 10 points in overtime, only two of them coming from the charity stripe. Why would you not foul him in this situation? He's terrible from the free-throw line. His only offensive go-to move is the dunk, which is an extremely high percentage shot. This baffled me. Coach Scottie would have sent in the goon to play hack-a-Dwight.
