Dwight is a freak athlete but I don’t see him “maturing” anytime soon. We’ll see. Everyone should concentrate on his free throw shooting instead IMO.

This has always been what Dwight has needed, to be led. Jameer tried, but they were too close personally. Howard’s ego is big and he has to realize that he has to change to win a championship. Dwight, this is how you lead! It’s not playing “with more energy”. He says this all of the time!!! Should be drinking game! Lol

Dwight wants ppl to be patient, but forget that man. This team is made up of All-Stars and they should be able to win every game based on talent alone. I understand it will take time and Steve Nash isnt here, but come on seriously they should be good without Nash. Kobe needs to be more of a facilitator like last night though. He should average 16 shots/game for the season. That gives us our best chance to win. Every time he shoots 25+ times/game we lose. I get much more joy out of seeing Dwight score 25+ than Kobe. I like to see the other players get theirs and feel like they are a big part of this team, which they are. Dwight is our future, and he needs to know that. Maybe a few more MVP chants when he’s at the free throw line would help convince him to stay here…

What did you expect from Howard? He has been a cancer for his team for a while. (Same for his new team) Gasol is going through the motions. Kobe is chapped because his legs have too many miles to carry the team late in games like he used to. Meta World idiot will self-destruct at some point in the season ( probably in the playoffs if they make it in. ) They have no point guard with Stevie out although he could help get the overpaid misfits to play better as a team if he could stay healthy when he returns. Face it the Lakers aren’t going anywhere but in the toilet.

Can’t stand him being all silly and happy after losses.

I think the answer to that question will determine how well they do this season.

Regardless, might be a bit early to start determining strength of schedule.

Kobe is correct that his mates have been soft during games, allowing Kobe to pick up the burden of winning games by himself rather than as part of a united team effort.

Nice to see Howard respond with a great game rather than chuckles. Howard does have to learn that during games it’s no time to be smiling unless you’re up by 20 with a minute to go. Dwight is the new shoulder the team has to lean on, notice how when Kobe scores a lot the Lakers lose yet when Howard scores a lot and Kobe doesn’t the team wins. Of course Dumbtoni is the one who has to realize this and coach the team accordingly.

Go Kobe!!! Go Howard!!! Go Lakers!!!

It’s been going on for years. When he passes the ball they win, when he doesn’t it’s 04 against the pistons

Hardly what I consider impressive. The problems that existed early in the season still pervade. Are they going to have great games? You better believe it. Is this a championship team, no way in hell.
