A few games ago he would elevate like he's gonna shoot a jumper and fire it right to Dwight. I only saw him do this that one game, any other time he's right, Dwight immediately turns his back and looks at the rim.

If Pau was in form they wouldn't need Dwight to be anything than what he is.

A great defender and rebounder whos athletic ability can dominate other Cs.

You mean allow someoone else to get the ideal position under the rim, while he stands there with a deer in the headlights look? Because it's not like his ass is getting offensive rebounds.

I think they need to play through Dwight more. In Orlando, he was creating tons of open 3s for that team from the post. Teams would collapse and he would make the right pass.

Kobe tends to get shot happy and tunes out everybody in the process. I've seen games where he's actively looking to pass Dwight the ball early in the game, but it's not really Kobe's imo to do that. And it's why everybody is confused when he jumps up for a shot and passes it to the back of Dwight's head.

I think if you give Dwight the ball and space the floor with Nash and Kobe ready to catch and shoot, there would be more flow to what they're doing. But the problem is, Dwight isn't 100% and a lot of teams aren't even doubling him this year, so the passing lanes aren't there for the easy kickouts that he was getting in Orlando.

Oh, and Nash needs to shoot more.

Dog....if a player is going up for a shot, what do you think Dwight is supposed to do?

a. position for a rebound
b. Watch Kobe's complete follow through

Which one blood?
