Or, and here's a wild notion...he was recovering from a back surgery and a shoulder injury?

I thought Dwight underperformed last season because he has no heart, turns the ball over, bricks his FTs and is an immature clown. Isn't that why the city of LA didn't want him? Stick to one story, Lakernation.

Laker fans didn't want to acknowledge that though. The vast majority of them.

He had 4 turnovers and shot 25% from the line. They don't keep heartless clown stats in the box score but I imagine he still scores high in those categories. Sounds spot on.

He's always an elite rebounder, even in his LA days. I didn't see any Lakers' fan calling him out for not rebounding well.

Wait, I thought Dwight should have less rebounds because Kobe isn't there to brick shots?
