Howard is the shit, it's been dope seeing him in a Lakers uniform. A month ago most reliable media outlets were reporting he wouldn't see the court until late dec or early jan. So as far as Dwight goes he is way ahead of schedule. Also everyone can clearly see he is no where near 100%, once he is at full strength he will be able to get more then a inch off the ground. Also it's nice to finally have a real #2 option to compliment Kobe. Howard draws so much damn attention and fouls. Kobe and Dwight will probably have their highest field goal percentage they have ever had in a season due to the easy buckets they create for each other. People have to remember these cats have had a really small amount of time to build chemistry, it's going to take a while for them to gel. Does that excuse a 1-4 start? Hello no, but at the same time I'm not ready to say they're done either.
In other words Dwight is the least of worries in LA, I'll list my worries about this team.
1.Mike "Potato Head" Brown -Kobe seems to have ZERO respect for this cat, if the leader of the team has no respect for him the rest will follow. Also he sets up the worst line ups I have ever seen.
2.Bench/Depth - Won't be a factor if the big 4 can get going but when Nash goes out we got bum ass Morris and even worse Blake to rely on as back up PG's. That isn't going to cut it.
3.Gasol - I really wanted him gone in the off-season for Josh Smith, looks like that ship has sailed though, his contract plus his recent drop off in producing will make him impossible to move. I haven't seen him show up since 2010.
4.Metta - This cat needs to play his position, in the words of Rossibreath this cat has turned into a "chucker". I understand he feels the healthiest he has felt in years and wants to contribute, but this cat is acting like he is Lebron James out there. There is no reason for anyone other then Kobe, Dwight, Nash, and Pau to be shooting.
