    Can he win it again? Through 10 games, he's 1st in rebounding and 4th in blocked shots. I know Roy Hibbert has been killing it for the Pacers and is the main candidate for the award so far since his team is 9-1.

    How in the world do you think he'll win the award when Rockets are near first in points allowed?

    Point's allowed is a horrid way to look at defense. Our defensive rating has been top 10, and I believe we are top 3 in opponent fg%

    Pretty sure Hibbert has the award on lock right now.

    We are right behind the Pacers and Bulls in opponent FG%

    I don't think we're close to top 10 now.

    #15 in defensive efficiency. Huge improvement from #18 last year!

    It will be Hibbert to lose. I think once the Rockets' chemistry starts clicking, Howard will make a serious run.

    Hib is having a huge year this year, he is blocking 10% of 2point shots when he is on the floor, absolutely killing it!

    I love how Howard was a beast of a center until this season where he has been reborn as a undersized one.

    Hibbert has more blocks than some teams total. It's his to lose.

    Howard has occasionally looked like a good defender, but not the awesome defender they made him out to be. There are a couple ahead of him, Hibbert clearly the leader as far as centers go.

    If Dwight focused his energy solely on defense, then he would have a chance, but so far he's holding back a bit.

    Hibbert's goal is on DPOY.

    Dwight''s goal is on the post.

    Hibbert wins.

    I think Hibbert's got it on lock down. He's the best defender on what is probably the best defensive team in the NBA.
