    Magic were built for howard. As long as Howard dominated inside they had a bunch of shooters, Redick, Anderson, Hedo, you get the idea. Plus Howard doesn't really fit in with the system in LA.

    As above said, Lakers are running an entirely different system that Dwight Howard just doesn't belong or fit in. The Lakers have always built around Kobe Bryant which makes it difficult to adjust, but they adjusted when Shaq and Kobe came together so I expect them to adjust soon as well.

    The lakers need two plays and they would dominate.
    Play 1: Kobe does his thing, either scores or Dwight gets rebound, rinse/repeat
    Play 2: Nash runs point, distributes as he sees fit, someone hits open shot or Dwight gets rebound, rinse/repeat

    That's an excuse stolen straight from the mouth of DHoward, right?

    No...the Lakers just got torched by the fukin Raptors...this team wouldnt have a great record like the Magic did even if they were in the WNBA

    Seriously there is something WRONG with the Lakers, on paper they look like they should be a top 4 team but when you see them play its like holy penetrate who are these uncoordinated shit shooting no defense playing bums?

    Lakers dont play defense.

    all this offense talk is meaningless they cant stop anyone in the half court and most definitely not in transition.

    Only times Lakers win or are competitive is when their opponents couldnt hit water falling out of a boat.
