Lakers didn't play well but they are not a good 3pt shooting team...and they didn't shoot it well tonight....Normally the Lakers bench isn't very good....Wasn't very good tonight as well.....Lakers offense needs some work man....Triangle just works best for them

Dwight just gave Nick Anderson the most unenthusiastic Happy Birthday of all time.

Jessica Blaylock, the old pro, never wavered. She acted as if he had just jovially sung happy birthday while doing a jig. I don't think anyone was buying it, but she gave it a shot. You gotta give her that.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

And most Laker fans think trading Bynum and Gasol dont equal in value to Dwight.

Yes, To a certain extent. But at the end of the day we got a W without Hedo.

It starts up top with management man, our team isn't built to play his system yet. So I'm not blaming him yet. We have too many holes in our roster.

Anyway nice win for the Magic.

17 and 9 from Nelson.....This is what i expect him to do....Scoring wise maybe not assist wise....But Nelson played a solid game tonight except for those dumb ass carrying turnovers....I said yesterday that maybe with Fisher on him he can get going and he did.....He needs to take this performance and run with it and build on it before we trade him for Devin Harris lol......I wonder how that would work? Anybody that has NBA 2k12 simulate a Devin Harris Orlando team lol

Dwight has already checked out. He is going through the motions until he is gone. His answers to any questions are the same ones, keeps using the term "my" team, winning a championship, etc even though everyone knows he wants out.

Drives me crazy.

i don't get how people can say Dwight checked out...i don't know...maybe it's just me but i can't see it...Maybe he checks out after the game but during games he's mostly engaged

people see what they want to see. To me, his effort has been in fact better than the last playoff run.

the thing is, the numbers back me up.

I'd pretty much agree. People should at least accuse him of "checking out" when he isn't have 20/20 games left and right with much improved passing/awareness.

I'm pretty sure I accused him of giving us 90% or something similar, so I'll back down off that for now. There were probably other explainations for my percieved lack of effort from Dwight. It's been an emotional season.

Sam Vincent on NBATV talking about Dwight's trade request. Basically saying it makes no sense at all, and he's super baffled by it... thank you one semi member of the media,
