    Whatever is working for him, right? If he could at least shoot his career average, that'd be good at this point.

    I don’t blame anyone for inventing the hack-a-Shaq. I blame the league for not doing anything to curtail it. I’m all for fundamentals and free throws are part of the game, but it ruins the flow of games and that’s bad for business. Nobody enjoys watching that, regardless of whether it’s your team or the other.

    the easiest solution was always to shoot better free throws though

    I'm glad we didn't change the rules to suit one player's lack of skill in a single department. I think that's bad precedent.

    I used to agree with this, but I’m not sure it’s helped free throw shooting. In theory, I 100% agree.

    Since Kuzma can't get his head out of his a** against good teams, do you stick with Dwight in the finishing lineups?
    If Ad's hitting the 3 that keeps your spacing and you can have 2 of Caruso/Green/Bradley/KCP being ballhawks against the 1 and 2's w/o forcing them to match up against these massive wings like Kawhii, Siakam, and Simmons who've given the Lakers problems.

    If you can keep the spacing on offense, man both him and AD can really cover a lot of ground even when they get switched onto small guys

    Back to back solid games from Dwight. McGee hasn’t had a good game in awhile. A few plays here and there, but Dwight looks like the more effective player.

    Dude’s not afraid to play physical that’s for sure. Puts bruises on people.

    What a game by Dwight! Superb defense, rebounds, scoring, free throw shooting, are you still paying attention? OK, maybe not free throw shooting. Although it was better than his season average.

    I think his percentage had gone up since he moved back some from the line. Hope it keeps up. Only time will tell.

    Anyone see this stat?

    Lakers are 18-1 when Dwight scores more than 10.
