He gets plenty of touches. It seems he either kicks it back out immediately or gets stripped on his way up

Although the game should be played inside out, I'm going to start counting how many times he gets stripped, fouled & turn the ball over. Because those all take away shot attempts.

Besides that, Howard's offense is suspect at best. Can't play with his back to the basket & against really good position defenders (such as Noah last night) he's pretty non existent.

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."

This made me want to keep Gasol as a Laker. He may play like a little vag on the court but the guy has true class. Gasol you can stay a Laker as long as you want. I officially remove my favor of moving Gasol.

710 radio made a good point, it seems like Dwight Howard is already going to his people (SAS) and having them tell the media to trade him so it wouldn't appear that its Howard wanting out. Now if that's the case then give me an injured Kevin love all day to pair with gasol, our defense might still need some work but boy would our offense look great

Russillo ‏@ryenarussillo Just went through every LA off possession on Synergy. Dwight had 17 touches, 2 other attempts to get him ball were TO's. 11 touches..ended in something negative, not including missed FT possessions. He said "look at the stat sheet" I did. He's delusional.

Like everyone is saying the guy is getting what he would like to call "touches"

I don't believe this, I don't see why any team will sign him to a max contract next year if this is true.

He also had 5 fouls, couldn't set screens last night. It's not that he had a bad game, it's that he takes 0 responsibility for his poor play

Dwight has been regressing in the post the last two years. In the 2010-11 season, Dwight was scoring 0.93 points per post possession, making 50.6 percent of his shots in the post, and turning the ball over 14.5 percent of the time. Last season as Dwight battled injuries and trade rumors he initiated, those numbers slipped to 0.88 PPP and 49.9 percent, while his turnover rate of improved to 13.6 percent.

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. That can’t be a heavy part of your offense. Kobe probably knows that but begrudgingly still attempts to feed him. This is why the quality of the post possessions you give Dwight is so important.
