Fuck Dwight!!

 

[Black Adam]

Dwight's getting his just deserts, he wanted to go to Houston and laugh it up with his boy Harden. They're laughing themselves all the way to another 1st round exit.

Stone cold TRUTH...

1st round exit? Well here's my reaching deep into the bag predication that will probably be wrong and bite me in the ass: Houston misses the playoffs

The West is stupid competitive and I really think they're going to miss the role player contributions Parsons, Lin, and Asik gave them. Barring some trade to bolster their roster, I say they miss the playoffs by a game as Phoenix or NO slides in.

You may well be right about that. It seems like the Rockets are the only team in the league that actually managed to get worse in this past seasons FA market. In order for up and coming teams like the Suns and Pelicans to get in, someone needs to fall out. Houston seems to be as likely a candidate as anyone.

And I'm sure that noooooone of us Lakers fans would find any humor in that.

Jordan Hill On D'Antoni: 'If Mike Was Here, I Wouldn't Be Back' | Lakers Nation

Interesting story. I'm glad we kept him (albeit slightly overpaid). Amused me he might probably be involved in D'Antonis rotation more now that he's bettered his jump-shot!

Dwight reminds me a bit of Lamar Odom. Like Lamar, Dwight is immensely talented. However, also like Lamar, he just doesn't appear to have it in him to put forth the effort and work required to maximize his talent.

The key difference between Dwight and Lamar is that Lamar was happy to accept a "supporting role" to win titles. Dwight thinks that he already knows it all and can lead a team to accomplish something that he's never done.

I pretty much learned all I needed to know about Dwight when Kareem offered to work with him and he declined. I don't care who you are or what team you play for, if a legend like that offers to help you, you take him up on it.

Hell, Kobe flew to Houston to learn a few things from Hakeem and Dwight thinks Kareem had nothing to teach him?

If Pringles was still here, I don't think anyone would be back, even Kobe.

Not an unreasonable prediction, of course Dwight is in denial and thinks Houston actually got better this offseason....

Outlaw, did I see you in the Honda Center stands last evening?
