He's a gametime decision for tonight.

But I thought Dwight was a scrub and him playing actually hurts the Lakers? Make up your mind Laker idiots.

[chazzy]

"The season is lost, he shouldn't play".. Should he be playing if they were an elite team?

LOL @ the Laker fans buying into this Kobe propoganda BS.

And LOL @ Dwight and Pau taking all the heat for this season, when Kobe is just as much to blame as anyone. Shit is ridiculous.

This translates to if he wants to please Kobe Bryant. I dont like Dwight, but your career is often more important than a chance at an 8th seed. He's young enough to get another monster contract, but old enough that one big injury can affect it.

I agree with him on only coming back if hes 100%. He has to be smart about his future and leveraging

I can see people personalities on this board by looking at this thread.

The season is over why should he play.
They will not make the playoffs.
Dwight should focus on his career. Blah Blah Blah

I would not want any of you guys on my team.

You sacrifice and play through pain for the better of the team ALWAYS.
That's the attitude championship teams and players have. Kobe and Nash are living examples of that.

Howard's response shows how immature he is.
And all of you agreeing with him need to have a couple life lessons served your way soon.

Exactly. This makes it more clear that he sees himself as a rental. Ship his ass out.

[f0und]

there has been a revolving door of all major personnel coming in and out. coaching changes and injuries. but their sucking ways never missed a beat. some people said it was the coach. so they got a new one. didnt matter. some people said it was the absence of nash. nope. some said it was dwight. unjustified. then of course the default scapegoat, pau. never been the case and isnt now. the one remaining constant to the lakers sucking has been that kobe has been there the entire time. but he amazingly escapes any blame.

Howard should just try avoiding speaking to the media if possible. Everything that comes out of his mouth for the past season and a half just comes of as bad. Gag Dwight.

[ErhnamDjinn]

u r a fcuking retard...u know that? where is tmac ??? rotting in china?

what has Tmac got to do with this? Plus Dwight has a point why risk your career for a minimal chance in helping a team thats already messed up, all so he can re injure himself and then get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round.

You don't think Dwight's been playing through pain? It's the reason why he re-injured himself for coming back to soon. Now you idiots with the bravado talk think this guy who's injured and hasn't been at 100% this whole season should come back earlier than he should, to please a fan base that love calling him a bitch. If he's saying that he wants to come back when he's 100%, it's because he's talking from experience.

Look at Pau, got hurt in the first half, played through the pain, heard a pop right before the game ended, gone for at least 6 weeks, probably longer. For such injuries, sometimes it's best for the player to let them heal.

The best interview ever. Poor Stan van Gundy.

[DuMa]

you reap what you sow laker fans. you rip on this guy early in the season and say you wish he was traded or not playing for the lakers and now you need him the most when times are tough.

how fu.cking ironic

Agree with this. And I also Kobe should stop talking to the media about his teammates. He has a very mentally weak fan base who see him as a god, and his words as gospel. So when he says things that sounds critical of Howard his mentally weak fan base get this energy and confidence of repeating what he says because to them it's the word of an all knowing god. That's how I see the OP.

Can't find witch thread was the one where Kobe was talking about Howard playing through pain, but for all we know he could have been talking about how this season was the first time that Howard has had to play through pain, and not talking about his latest injury.
