    he's not playing like he's 100%. i dont believe he's regressing, or regressing that bad. he's still got 2 more years of dominance in him

    When did Jackson become the definitive word on Dwight's game?

    I don't think Jackson watches all our games, most likely the national games shown on TV and we know how bad we've looked in some of them.

    Ask Dwight himself or look at his numbers. Dwight himself will say he is growing more comfortable in the post. TV commentators Reggie Miller, JVG when they cover our games note Dwight just has to make a quick move and not allow the doubleteam.

    Granted he has not solved the double-teams yet nor has he shown any counters when against big physical defenders. But it's wrong to say there's been no improvement.

    All players when they grow older or gone through a major injury have to alter their game. DWade is not driving into the lane as much. DRose will have to change his game once he comes back.

    Dwight really has to develop a short jumper, like the TDuncan bankshot. He has to preserve his body by not going into the lane everytime.

    Funny how the Lakers try and say they didn't want Dwight. Yet when two ex-Lakers get together he is all they want to talk about.

    I remember way back when John Lucas III lead the Rockets back from like 35 down in the 4th quarter and Phil sat Kobe until they tied the game basically. I can only imagine now Clutchfans would react to that.

    What makes people think the Lakers didn't want Dwight. They offered him a contract and were disappointed when he didn't sign. And i think Dwight always, and probably still wants to be coached by Phil Jackson. Don't blame him.

    I'm sorry, i took this as a subliminal diss to Mchale and Phil saying he knows how to get more outta Howard. I think Phil will be our next coach. Remember you heard it here
