Ruh Roh: "Dwight Howard is basically Kosta Koufus"

[lpdunks8]

........." was the message I got from one NBA insider midway through the Lakers' loss Wednesday night in Denver, referring to the Nuggets' largely anonymous center.

.........

"He was just mad," Faried said. "I was getting in his head, and he couldn't get the rebound. He wanted to, but I kept getting every rebound. It's not like I said anything or talked to him."

As a person who has battled back problems; I knew the it was going to be a big issue. Now, people are starting to write about other "motives". SMH

We better be careful. He's still not 100%. But I mean something is not right with him (outside of his injury). Steve Nash was calling him out a little bit yesterday. I mean Steve Nash is a pretty nice dude, for him to get upset like that is strange.

Well on the court he was upset because of a defensive play. They were jawing back and forth a bit, but it didn't seem to big of a deal.

Unless were talking about a different play, wasn't it when Howard yelled at him because Nash let McGee go for the rebound... It looked like Nash yelled back at him after that, almost like saying wtf am I supposed to do about him haha

Hah, it was this play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa1jxsqXAeU

I think Nash did the right thing, he helped back on McGee and Dwight didn't rotate over.

maybe dwight needs a few games off?

To be honest Dwight looks annoyed. I don't blame him, guy is still not hisself yet but everyone wants him to do everything

I've noticed Dwight keeps getting mad at others on D and assignments but his rotations are poor as well.

And now Nash is trying to be MR. "Leader" on offense and getting very vocal and I'm not sure Dwight wants that...especially considering that Nash played poor D the last game.

You have to commit and be aggressive. It was poor communication, commitment, and energy. All bad things. The whole game was like that.

Yea but Nash was out of Position. He was just supposed to lead the guy with the ball over to Dwight then get back to the ft. line. Instead mcGee cuts down the middle (something that makes coaches lose their mind) and Dwight didnt rotate over and show. It was just a bad play in D all around...

Interesting fact, Dwight is the only guy in the top 5 in all 3 categories of FG% (4th), RPG (4th) and BPG (4th). No player on one list is even on the other 2 lists.

If his knees weren't an issue, I wish we would have kept Bynum
