Kobe says he tries to pass Dwight the ball but he's not looking

[nieman]

It's a catch 22 with Kobe's in-the-air passes. A lot of the times, they would be good passes if the person he is looking for just cuts to the basket or move. They all stand still and watch, but that's probably due to them thinking that Kobe is going to shoot. But right before he is getting ready to pass, he looks at the player as if to tell them to cut, but the defense collapses on him. Of course Nash does it all of the time, and has always been hella turnover prone, but players expect him to pass. Nash is being hindered because there are only like 2.5 shooters on the team (Meeks, Kobe, Gasol). Maybe they should do more pick and roll situations with Earl Clark, but Nash needs to shoot more to keep defenses on edge. Let Jamison, Ron Ron and Dwight play clean-up.

Now Dwight is an entirely different problem. i didn't even know that Dwight didn't know how to box out until this season. I guess he was used to just using his athleticism for everything, but since he doesn't have that anymore....His offensive game is TRIZZASH. He can never be mentioned as a great C ever again, he's been demoted under Vlade Divac, Brad Miller, Brad Daugherty, Kevin Willis...

Exasperated Kobe says he's 'looking like an idiot' forcing ball to Howard - CBSSports.com

This season? Dwight is scoring just 0.78 points per possession in the post, making 48.2 percent of his shots, and turning the ball over an astounding 19.7 percent of the time. One out of every five times you throw the ball into the post with Dwight, he's turning it over.

And he wants MORE touches in the post?

He needs to stop turning the ball over so much. Last night he had 5 FG attempts and 4 Turnovers

 

[The War Report]

Dwight needs to get his Tyson Chandler on and stop thinking he's Tim Duncan or Hakeem Olajuwon. The Lakers are under utilizing the pick-n-roll and Nash needs to shoot more to keep the defense honest.

aint gonna be enough room under that bus after Kobe's done with this team By the end of the season he gonna toss Nicholson under that bytch

 

[Newzz]

Dwight Howard must think he actually has low post moves

He's closer to a DeAndre Jordan and Javale McGee than a Brook Lopez or Andrew Bynum.

The sooner he realizes this, the better we will be.

He better start using the PnR to his advantage and get easy buckets.

Kobe wants to score as many points as he wants, plus he wants to retire with a brand new and huge 1year contract extension, why give that money to Dwight? lol

"because I get up in the air, I've got a
shot, but I try to find him."

Kobe, that's not the most efficient way to pass the ball

 

[Malta]

Despite Kobe Bryant shooting at a career-high level, Howard has mocked Bryant's shooting stats behind his back when he hasn't shot well, leaving Lakers teammates feeling awfully uncomfortable. Bryant has tried to connect with Howard, tried to support his free-throw failures with glowing words about how great Howard can be and tried most recently to accommodate that "inside-out" insistence by rising up to shoot and half-looking at the rim, half-looking for Howard.
......
After the game he brought a stat sheet around the locker room to show some teammates and reporters how he got only five field-goal attempts ... a few minutes before the demoted Gasol spoke gracefully across the room about "not pointing fingers, owning up to our responsibilities, wanting to get out of this and having the pride necessary that it takes to utilize our talents and go beat the opponent – no matter who it is, no matter where we are."
