Dwight: Lakers' Turnaround 'Starts With Me'

Dwight Howard took accountability for his role in the Los Angeles Lakers' struggles on Wednesday.

"I think this will be the start of a new season tonight," said Howard. "Our effort and energy will be better. It starts with me."

The Lakers play at the Memphis Grizzlies and have lost three straight.

Howard also apologized for his comments about his lack of shot attempts.

Howard said he needs to be "more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain."

Is Dwight Howard happy in L.A. or not? This quote doesn't provide much clarity: "I'm in the right place and I have to make the best of it."

It would make it easier on Dwight not having to backtrack after every stupid comment he makes to his teammates and reporters. Can't expect to play well when one foot is always in your mouth.

He talks a good game with his "we just gotta believe and work together" up until the moment he talks about his lack of touches and blaming his teammates for their defensive rotations. This guy is a piece of work. But then again, we knew what we were getting when he told Orlando's management he wanted Stan fired then lied about it minutes later.

I know one is not playing... just saying that there were people who claimed that the difference is not that big and the difference on defense more than makes up for it.

I think those people has been proven wrong.

As were those that were pointing at "attitude problems" as part of Bynum's baggage. Well, Dwight has got them in spades as well.

IF Andrew was still playing, we'd be loosing the trade badly. And even with that - the fact that Dwight might bolt and this season may be over... we may still eventually come up as the biggest losers.

Shaq was right. Dwight is no superman.
