    That's what James called him on court post game interview... Somewhere Shaquille O'Neal feels indignant.

    Howard is more than a lob threat, he cleans up on the glass on put backs.

    He seems focused, happy, and like he’s enjoying himself.

    regardless of what he is being paid, that’s a pretty priceless feeling to have.

    I’m genuinely happy for him for however long it lasts.

    I will gladly eat crow - i was totally against this signing - pretty sure everyone wanted NOAH.

    My God - this might be Rob's best signing besides Danny Green...you kidding me? 14/13/2/2 on 7/7 shooting and AMAZING defense?

    Happy to be on this train since the rumors started. For the bare minimum this was a total no brainer.

    I hate to brag but I was the biggest defender of us signing Dwight. Got bashed by "Lakers" fans because it was the cool thing to hate Dwight. Anyone with an eye could see how Dwight still had a lot of game left. Signing Noah would have been a huge mistake because I have a very good feeling that the Clippers would have eventually signed Dwight. The mistake the Lakers made their first stint was thinking Dwight is a second option. He just doesn't have the scoring capabilities to dominate consistently which is why him doing the dirty work is the perfect role for him.

    Dwight has always just wanted to be loved. Hes been insecure his entire career about that. He sees how his teammates love him, and maybe more important to his ego, the fans LOVE him. I think he knows why now and hes loving it.

    Ya’all are way too happy for my liking. I’m not ready to play nice yet. Takes more than 5 good games to undo what has been done.

    I’m just now CONSIDERING being nice to Lebron.

    Dwight has a long way to go

    I still agreed with everyone else that he was garbage as a teammate and a huge risk because there was absolutely no reason to not think that. And 6 games in, he's not past the test yet. However I, like many on here, agreed once DeMarcus went down DH was probably the best option. I wasn't for Noah. I didn't like it one bit though. I don't think real fans should forget that easily.

    That statement contradicts itself. How is making a guy who doesn't have the scoring capabilities to dominate consistently a second option behind one of the most dominant scorers in history a mistake?

    Are you kidding me. For a former MVP Candidate & DPOY of the year to humble himself to a role player on a contender and succeed to this magnitude. It's early & a small sample size but Dwight, my goodness keep this up and you will be forgiven. Eating major crow with him & LeBron but if they're making my boys look this good, who gives. They're playing the right way and it's beautiful.

    Noah in his absolute prime wouldn’t be doing what Dwight is doing now. He is a legitimate 6MOY candidate if he keeps this up.

    There is no reason to think Dwight will pull a D12 at anytime from here on out. The one thing we need to wait for is can he do this the whole year from a basketball standpoint. If he does this thru out the year and playoffs, Lakers are winning the title. Lakers at that point would funnel all the offense to Dwight and AD and you are eff'd. It's gonna be fun to see.
