This is so sad. Dwight got blocked 2 plays in a row. Plus he doesn't seem to be able to grab a rebound.. other players can knocked it out of him.

Howard does look like he's playing good team ball. I've never seen him pass this much.

It's so hard to watch him. Injuries and age has sapped all of his athleticism. Part of the reason he can't grab a rebound is because he has no elevation. He literally can't get off the ground. It's like watching a walking corpse compared to the uber-athletic prime Dwight that played here.

Vogel playing Davis at center against Harrell was a terrible move.

Yeah.. Dwight is a high flyer. Especially now with his slim physique now... He can't jump with the best of them anymore.

When you see this and then when you watch him on the court today it's truly sad.

Awful move for Lakers to play without a center in the 4th quarter

Siakam is really fun to watch, but like i thought after i saw him in preseason. He's gonna have top 3 usage this year :lol:


Too sad, we had no chance to sign JJ. He would make us a 4th-5th seed with his shooting. :cry:

Siakam is imo lock for allstar from group of guys who didn't make it last year.
He will probably be 24+ ppg, 8+ rpg player

Crazy how they drafted a new franchise player, while winning 46-59 games every year. Like the Spurs in the past

If Zion were just 20lbs lighter, nobody would even think about his weight.

I enjoyed watching that NO team last night.
They're gonna be a fun bunch once they get that team chemistry going solid.
As-is, I think they can give us a run for our money at that #8 or #7 spot this year.
If they go for the lottery again, their coach needs to be shot. Cuz they're stacked with solid young players.

I'm a little heart broken my #2 team, the Lakers, traded off the future for a three year "now" window instead of just spending one more year fishing the lottery.

Drummond had 32 points, 23 rebounds night :lol:
Kyrie 50 p , 7a, 8 r in 1 point L after OT vs Minessota

Knicks rotation is something else. It's like somebody plays my GM mode , that somebody being your cat

those were good times. It's easy to forget how good Dwight was, really was a world class player... people want hate on his offense, but he's way better than advertised + being a 3x DPOY. Remember the last time Lebron lost in the East? It was to the Magic & Dwight. I still sometimes wonder what his career would have been like if he never got injured and didn't turn into a baby.
