He cant make a FT for ****, had he made some we wouldnt have lost yesterday.
Teams have an easy way to stop up in the crunch with the hack a howard.
If he isnt on the court they dont have a true bad FT shooter who to hack.
makes sense.

No. We need him for his defense. But Pau, maybe... because teams attack him in crunch time, usually with success.
No. Pau should probably be the guy that does that.
id swear this thread is bout Howard, not Pau nor kobe nor dantoni nor jim buss.
I know Dwight likes to play up his personality, but this isn't Orlando...it will get old here in Lakerland fast if he continues to put more skill in his personality than the work to consistently hit his free throws.
Free throws are important, it is a crucial part of winning the close games. It is cost us a win against the Pacers last night. If Dwight is going to take the leadership reins from Kobe, he needs to shore up the weaknesses in his game, and the most glaring hole is his free throw percentage.
Yeah, his stupid smiling when he misses free throws is annoying. He's rushing the free throws too. He needs to take his time. Its getting in his head.Quote:

No he has to play. Defensively he bails us out.
And i answered no. But i think Pau should sit.Quote:

1) that eliminates him from getting any offensive rebs or lobs off dribble penetrationQuote:

2) you have to respect paus outside jumper...put d12 out there and his defender completely ignores him and the lakers are essentially playing 4on5
i think it would of been smart to switch match ups as soon as hibert was fouled out. put dwight on west since hes faster and guard pick and rolls much better than gasol.
I know i go around this board taking hardly anything serious because most of the people here are off their rocker at times. But in the Laker and Raider forum i try to be as level headed as possible. With that said, why are you being irrational about Pau's play as of late? I rooted for Pau in the olympics and was excited to see him play this season for the Lakers, but face it, he's been playing terrible. He has no drive and plays even more "lacks" than usual.Quote:

But Phil use to sub him out until after 2 minutes. Plus Shaq made them when they counted or at least one!Quote:
