Dwight Discussion: Dwightmare on Figueroa St. Part Boo

Dwight to Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins, Tyreke Evans, Francisco Garcia.

We get a very good big who could be great and two solid role players. Dwight gets to go some place where winning is a luxury, not an expectation. He can even be the face of a "new franchise" in Seattle.

Then next year we trade Pau's expiring for two-three more pieces. Complete overhaul in one year's time.

We probably win more games this season with DMC & Tyreke. It's likely that Dwight will miss more games as the season goes when his shoulder gets really sore. If Dwight ever returns to even 90% we'd look like fools long term.

Torn Labrum is more than "hurts", but I tend to agree.

But I did read Henry Abott's stupid article. And while he is a dumarse, I will concede that no one has a right to tell someone how to percieve THEIR OWN injury.

With that being said, it is a torn labrum and several players have played through it. This is critical time and I am glad Dwight will play tonight.

Enough of this "I'm doing me" nonsense, this aint And 1 basketball.

how about you look through the last 2 pages of this thread and you'll know

He's playing.

If he's fired up or pouty remains to be seen.

can we please?

lol. wow, coming from you. haha.

sorry, there's no sarcasm font color here

He's playing hot-garbage right now, he's reminding me of a Sacre-clone.... even a YMCA player could have put up better effort

I wouldn't call Sacre garbage, in fact I'd much rather see him on the floor if Dwight continues to play this way.

The fans have turned......

A Tiger doesn't change his stripes so easily..... Howard's antics in Orlando showed character issues IMHO.... the ones who thought he would change who he is because he's wearing a different jersey are seeing that it was a misplaced hope.....

He's hurt and he's in a new situation. Let's let him get through the season before we start calling for him to leave.....

As for Bynum coming back..... he wouldn't get near this team IMO. He was gone this year regardless of what we did.

Dwight's play in the 1st half was awful. He doesn't look engaged at all right now.

People here don't want Howard to play hurt...they want him to play hurt AND well....

calm down, he isn't going to play awesome right now. Damned if he does (play) and damn if he doesn't.

He got his feelings hurt like a little baby boo boo..... he's a clown

Can't stand his pathetic offensive game and touch around the rim ...

I'm going to wait for the 2nd half before commenting.

i thought Patrick Ewing worked with Dwight on some offensive moves. The guy really has no offensive game.

Yea he does, he takes offense to everything anyone says about him. I'd say he has a great offensive game.

Dwight doesn't appear to care at all out there. Horrible game.

Haha. the guy has no touch around the rim. I actually think he has bad hands, not Kwame Brown bad though. Imagine if Shaq showed him a few things and Dwight actually works on it.

Last quarter down by 26...

What the heck is doing Gasol again? huh, he's not playing, so...the problem could not be him.

Charlotte's game is the key to save or blame on Dwight...i guess.

Down by 32... is the white swan playing? no, he isn´t...

Today we got Dwight HowWhat? and randoms.

Everyday is a lottery game this season. It reminds me of a cookie...



or maybe this one...

I could understand his shoulder preventing him from blocking shots or shooting hooks. It doesn't excuse him for not boxing out his man and not moving his feet on D.

Here is the log from tonight.

Boston (Feb. 07, 2013)

Can someone tell me if their is a REMOTE chance that MDA gets canned? or are the Lakers gonna bring up the Injury excuses and not realize that small ball is killing us because we don't have consistent shooters?

I'm not ready to call him a quitter, but I'm not far away from it, and I will call him a pouter. People keep bringing up his 20/20 game before he went out for good last season as proof that he always gives his all no matter what, but my eyes tell me differently. He was done with that team in Orlando, he got that coach outta there, and he seems kinda done with this LA thing right now too. Of course, being wishy washy as he is that could all change tomorrow.
