We still beat NY despite Dwight Howard getting sonned all night by Bargangi. We're so fukking deep. If we can unload Asik and get a awesome scoring powerforward we are set...

he look terrible on offense...just terrible

how the hell you work on post moves during the summer and look WORSE

 

[Texas2step]

Howard has turned into Ben Wallace 2.0 without the energy and the desire. Howard is becoming an liability on offense and doesn't play hard enough on defense. He can only rebound, play decent defense, and miss free throws. If we get a 3 point PF we can do something but not a lot. With Harden and Dwight leading this team, we will never play for a championship let alone win one

they said they early in the big 3 era with Miami when they struggled early in the 2010-11 season that they couldnt win together...3 finals and 2 championship later

they do need to change there mentality big time if they want to win

Dan Patrick made a good point yesterday when comparing Howard and Kevin Love "Howard thinks he is great...Love wants to be great"

Howard is mentally weak like a 12 year old girl at times and you cant win like that

you gotta play defense if you want to succees and you need a playmaker to create for others as well as himself and no one on this team can do that

Does anyone believe in kevin Mchale as a championship coach..i like kevin but i must admit i have my doubts at times

Like dude said you'll never win a 'ship with Harden/Dwight leading the team. In basketball terms, it simply isn't possible.

The difference is that one of those big 3 was already a Champion and had willed his team to victory. Both of our players actually disappeared when they were in the finals.

I can't clown your optimism. Cause that's on you. Just know you gonna be in for a reality check come the post season.

I would have a lot more faith if we didn't have Howard honestly. I think eventually he will bring this team down. In last night game, we had some good runs but when we tried to go inside to him, it just messed up the whole flow of the offense because it was either a TO or a missed shot.

I know what kind of player Howard is i just felt how the lakers organizaton clowned him i thought he would come with more of a chip on his shoulder and dominate....so far i see none of that and that Lakers game when he was running like a Ho was alarming..i just wanna see how the team do in the playoffs when its do or die.

defense is still bad
Mchale seems like he scramblin out there at time
we need a pure point guard
freethrow shooting

that NEEDS to be taking care of ASAP

 

[Primetime]

The way things are looking, i would be surprised if he was traded before all star break.


He's a good guy though, was beginning to hit his stride last season...


then Dwight-stein leap frogs into the squad.


.

I feel Dwight/Asik would have worked much better if Dwight had a semblance of a post game and wasn't such a damn butterfinger his own self the first few games of the season. Its like blaming DeAndre Jordan as the reason why Blake can't do shyt in the post. If you know how to get proper/deep position in the post and you actually have some post moves (instead of just backing down aimlessly from 18ft out before kicking the ball back out, or doing the same face-up and drive through ur defender offensive foul shyt), then it doesn't matter if asik is there or not b/c worst case scenario is they send his man to double and he becomes wide open underneath the basket for the short pass.

The very idea that dwight needs all 4 of his teammates standing outside and around the 3pt line for him to be "effective" is pathetic, u dont need all that real estate just to take 2-3 dribbles and a hook shot. I mean, yea its a nice added luxury when available but ur game shouldn't be dependent on that shyt if u truly consider urself a post scorer. I mean shyt, there was no asik excuse for him last night.

i still think the team really needs to get rid of mchale.

i'm still not sold on him and was never sold on him.

he was only brought in to rebuild. now this team has different aspirations and i don't think he's the guy for it.
