Boozer putting the team on his back.
Try playing like this in the playoffs, Booze.

I see a surprising amount of red in this crowd. I can't believe we might win thanks to a strong 4th Quarter from the Booz.
Fucking right!
All Bulls need to do is piss Boozer off before the game. Maybe have him view a Taj spelling bee?
I like Jimmy, but I want a Kobe/Jimmy rematch.

I'm sick of watching the Bulls give >100 pts. I'd rather lose on a last second 3 than go to OT.
Damn straight.

Millsap's hit shots like that, but that's still a bad idea against Taj with 18 seconds left...

I'm still not sure how the Bulls won this; they should have kept feeding Jefferson.

Noah's fronting was too active and our guards sucked too much to get him the ball though.
They did, and he kept getting doubled because we don't have a PG that can shoot.
Hakeem said Dwight wanted to go to the lakers so you guys are stuck with Dwight until he retires.
The entire NBA outside of the Spurs, Chris Paul, Denver, Jason Kidd, Nash, and a few others have problems feeding the post.

Naw, thekad told me he's going to the Rockets and Asik is getting flipped for Milsap...

Howard

PARADE
That team would fail real bad. Howard wants to be the main man on a team or play in a big market like LA or NYC. He would hate playing on the rockets where he would be number 2 to the Beard. Howard should focus on defense like Russell and Mutombo. Dude thinks he can post up and do something even though he's average there, has no mid post game, no range on his jumper, and is bad passing out of the post.

Delusions of grandeur.
It really shows you what's happened to NBA scoring by individual players over the years when people are falling all over themselves for people scoring 30. 35. 38 points in a game.
40 point games these days are about as rare as 50 point games used to be.
Edit: Kobe saying "Defend and Rebound! What else is on that page?" when Woj asks him whether him and Dwight are on the same page. LA won two chips when a far superior offensive low post player in Bynum just focused on defending and rebounding. Games like tonight show you why. Howard Iso's have been a liability all season. His teammates have lost faith in him that he'll do anything other turn it over, or at best make 1 free throw, when he gets a low post isolation.

Scoring 30 at Will is what the "best centers in the league" have done for 5 decades. It's not just that Laker fans are confused, everyone is. There's a reason so many people jumped on the Bynum bandwagon last season because he looked like the offensively unstoppable force were used to seeing from the best C in the game. Dwight is the best when he defends, rebounds, hustles, and crashes the offensive glass with no regard for human life. This Season though? Marc Gasol and Brook Lopez have been better than him, certainly more deserving of his all star selection
This is his 9th year in the league, and his career average is 18 points per game. He's at a high 57% FG%, but he doesn't have much offensive finesse. This season, he's scoring about two points less per game, but his FG% is essentially the same. Maybe it's just time to accept that the center position just isn't what it used to be, and that's what the "best center in the league" today brings.

The problem is that these tall fucks want to be out on the perimeter and don't want to learn how to properly post someone up. It's just easier hoisting up jumpers than learning the nuances of the post.

I heard he's good at getting around child support screens set by baby mommas.
Dwight is lucky he plays in this era, honestly. He would have been exposed by any other great center. Then again, he may have had the motivation to actually develop a true offensive game, if he were challenged by other centers.

It says something when broken Amar'e Stoudemire, a dunker/PnR guy virtually his whole career, dedicates himself to trying to become a low-post guy/sacrifice for the team and Dwight Howard gives no fucks.

The best center ever never hit 20 PPG though (blast back to the 60s time)
What are you talking about? The Celtics didn't play today.
Did you watch bynum last season? Hate all you want but that guy legitmately dominated down low. He was being quadriple teamed at times and he still scored.
Bynum's issue has always been his attitude, and his health.
Dwight doesn't have these problems.

While you're right that Hakeem was born in the 1960s, he certainly passed the 20ppg threshold many, many times.
Dwight has both of those problems this season.
The fact that Bynum's play last season was at least an order of magnitude better than Dwight's performance this year perfectly encapsulates how catastrophic Dwight has been on the Lakers.
You are one to talk soul taker.
