Perhaps he should quit being filled by joy because last time I checked a large man who played in L.A won 3 rings fueled by Diesel

There were a couple of troubling statements from Dwight after the game ...
1. "On the offensive end, we got to move the ball and share it."

What does it mean? He's not happy with Kobe getting 24 shots while he only got 11.

2. "Is my role clear cut? We’ll see."

What does it mean? Pretty ominous way to say that he doesn't have confidence in how he's being implemented so far.

3. "We got to make it work. We got two guys that can score on the block. We got to use them. You got to make it work."

What does it mean? He wants Mike D'Antoni to cater his offense to fit him and Pau Gasol, not for him and Pau to cater how they play to D'Antoni's offense. about an hour ago

I would say its only one superman, supershaq

LBJ being criticized for relying on his athleticism for years, but how abt Howard?

And I wonder when is the Dream stuff beside the shoulder fake and go left hand

Back to D12 , it's scary how the back pbs have limited his mobility and lateral quickness ... he used to blitz the PNR and do a great a job at staying with the ball handler ... now he's just backing off and doesn't react/move his feet as quick as he used to be , not even close

Actually that may not be related to the back issues as much as you may think..... after 20+ games of watching the lack of rotations behind him when he does that he may be trying to cover everyone because it doesn't seem as if anyone else is going to do it.....

people saying dwight isn't the best center in the league and saying cousins is better. who is the best center then? hibbert? if he could just improve his FT shooting a little and play with some more intensity no one will complain

themasterphil wrote:i was saying that he is not best C in this moment and he isnt....when he is 100% ready, yes he is the best, but in this moment he have the problems playing 1on1...and i dont think he is on 60%....he can say i am at 80 % but we can see thats not true, bc his problems on offense are big and his defense is not good at all....that 2 offensive boards last night show lots of things about this one, where he was in that particular moment...where??

The only one who could even ever challenge Dwight is Bynum, but that's only if he ever gets healthy and stops acting like a 13 year old.
