Tonight was all about Dwight and I'm happy for him. He can put some demons behind him. I was not expecting Dwight to have this good of a game.

This is actually good in game practice for Nash.

Dwight shot 64% from the Ft line tonight, if he shot like this more often he'd be unstoppable

I lol'd at the two guys wearing the "FCK D12" shirts. Dudes are super salty :lol:

But Dwight doing work in his return to Orlando though, leading the Lakers with 39 pts and 16 boards, and making his free throws when they were needed.

Dwight hit 25fts, that and he won the game, huge monkey off his back. Saw much more poise from him.

Don't get me wrong the game had to suck for Kobe, Nash, and company rhythm wise on offense because they essentially stood in place more than they played ball, but Dwight hitting was huge and hopefully translates to him having confidence to make them when they count

Great team win and the best part was no Kobe Bryant miracles needed. Kobe did his job and completely shut down afflalo and Nelson just shot like crap. basically the magic had to answers for us, now lets get tomorrow's win at Atlanta

And I could read Dwight's lips saying that's cool though, that's cool! :lol:

Truthfully kblo, that was by design. Look at this way they hardly used their legs tonight, and with another run tomorrow Kobe and Nash will be in high usage.

I agree the game was huge because it saved our legs tomorrow vs Atlanta. I also agree it was huge mentally for Dwight.

I'm just saying it had to be a bit boring to essentially walk and stand in place all night,, but hey they knew this was likely going in which is why Kobe didnt really waste too many drives and Nash didnt waste his time pushing it

Don't forget ATL also played tonight, though they got blown out by the Heat, it's still extra minutes on their legs.
