The Los Angeles Lakers

The death of dr. Buss and his sub .500 team is just too much for him to take at the moment.
But if they somehow get the 8th seed he will be back. At least he was posting. There a few other laker fans who frequented this board that got ghost.

Then let the heads roll because I just don't see the Lakers getting into the playoffs. The Jazz are playing solid team basketball consistently, the rockets have been solid too and have a favorable remaining schedule, and the Warriors would have to finish with a .500 record. No way the warriors who at some points in the season were 10 games above .500 would choke like that.
Maybe I'm being a homer but Howard has been great in my opinion. He leads the league in rebounding and is a major force on defense, problem is the bigs around him are getting exposed. To many times when dwight attacks the ball none of his teammates have his back and take care of the opposing bigs hanging around the rim. Dwight can't step out of the box try to block a shot then run back and box out. That's asking for too much.
Hope he resigns, it would be the final nail in the coffin for the lakers if Dwight leaves. His pop says that he thinks dwight is staying with the lakers, I hope he's right.

One thing I have been majorly disappointed in Dwight is his post up play, He's seems awkward as hell in the paint with no real signature moves that work. He needs to spend a summer with the Dream because his post game is trash.
Rasan is his offense sub par because his injuries and team chemistry or was he always that bad on offense in Orlando?? I obviously payed attention to Dwight while he was in Orlando but i didn't follow every game of his like you probably did. I remember multiple times seeing dwight put up 40+ and 50+ points, now that he's a laker i just don't see how the hell he did it.

He was always more focused on defense. But he was much more a monster on d with us than you guys and yeah I attribute it to his back. Offensively he gave us 20 plus points a game but like u said would do the 40 plus games if the other shooters were off. His back is really fuckin his game off. Also I think dude is paranoid about the refs too. He still doesn't know how to play d without pickin up fouls. Same problem with us. I think he came back too soon. Back surgery is serious business.
But u dead on about his post up play, he needs to holla at kareem over the summer if he decides to stay.

Great point bringing up his defense in orlando vs his defense in LA. Maybe that's why I say he's been great in LA because I'm just going off the big men that have been in LA since Shaq left. If I compare him to his Orlando days I think my opinion on his performance thus far will change dramatically. I hope he can get back to playing like when he was in Orlando.
that was a great move, but not a great dunk. i wouldn't even give it consideration for dunk of the year...
if kobe dunked on josh smith, then yeah, i'd consider it for dunk of the year, but he drove past him, then dunked it...

I was gonna say, Kobe is the bitchest player in the history of the league. He tried to slap/punch more than one player off of his OWN jumpshot and say it was just a reaction that he had mid-air. Dumbest thing I think I've ever seen in the NBA, no joke. One of those shots was like a 3 pointer too and Kobe just threw his hand back for no reason and hit dude in the face. I wish I could remember who that was
