Face it ... Dwight NEVER wanted to be a Laker... he wants to be in Brooklyn with the Nets. The Lakers were his last resort ... sorry to say that to you fans, but can't you look at him and see he's unhappy?

He looks healthy to me. Maybe he just isn't as good as you think he is.

I'm not going to blame Dwight for our defensive troubles. The rest of the team is so old and slow that it's not reasonable to expect Dwight to make up for it single handed.

Our perimeters defenders suck at stopping dribble penetration. Guards blow by them and Dwight rotates to block or change the shot, then the guards either dish to Dwight's man or throw up a tear drop that Dwight's man offensive rebounds for 2nd chance points or a possession. Can't blame Dwight for that. He's doing what he can but our rotations on D suck.

dribble penetration is ok - you cant stop a guy like Westbrook from penetrating - it's towards where and how that's important
