Dwight had another active, injury-free practice

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Sources say he could suit up right now if the season started--but he has another full month to ease back into it anyways.

Injury Update: Dwight Howard


For the second consecutive day to open training camp, Dwight Howard (back) participated fully, going through everything from 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 contact drills to the offensive and defensive skeleton sets being implemented by the coaching staff.


“As much as he’s practicing, to me he’s back,” said Lakers head coach Mike Brown after the team completed the first of two Wednesday practices. “Just waiting for the doctors (and) trainers to clear him. When that happens, he’ll go full tilt. But he looks good out there.”


The night session would feature the first full court 5-on-5 scrimmage, the one thing L.A.’s training staff will hold Howard out of as his rehabilitation process continues.


“I’m still trying to regain strength,” Howard explained. “I’m not playing until I’m 100 percent. Just because I’m doing drills with the team or running up and down, it doesn’t mean I’m ready to play in a game. There’s a difference between running up and down and being actually out there battling. When I’m 100 percent and able to go, then I’ll go.”


After Tuesday’s extensive session, Howard relayed why many of his teammates feel he’s ahead of the expected schedule.


“Hopefully, I will be back for some preseason games,” Howard said. “I think we are going to need it for chemistry and all that stuff. But like I said, I’m not going to rush it.”


The six-time All Star wanted to see how he felt after Tuesday’s first full practice with teammates, and revealed that Wednesday’s work out also went well; the word “setback” has certainly not come up.


As such, optimism reigns in Los Angeles as it pertains to Howard, who spent far more time running up and down the court and dunking than many expected to start training camp.

[rayjayjohnson]

Da_Wight is gonna be fine...Kobe is a muthafucker too...check this out..Kobe was asked what he's teaching Dwight and he responded:



"My a--holishness. Dwight has a lot of that in him. He just needs to bring it out and make guys pay every day."

:lol my nigga teaching Dwight how to be an asshole on the court everyday...:toast

[Koolaid_Man]

^ it also shows that Kobe is on some other shit..to refer to your mad / sick game as being an asshole is like gangsta out of this world

[mavs>spurs]

laker fags yall are going to get outrun by thunder/heat

[Koolaid_Man]

laker fags yall are going to get outrun by thunder/heat


don't underestimate veteran drive and determination..we have the right balance of vet, youth, speed, power, and athleticism..

Case in point: Miami beat OKC and OKC was much much younger....and faster..

you just worry about that sucker ass team you're fielding..ok pussy lips

[mavs>spurs]

we have the right balance of vet, youth, speed, and athleticism

nope not in the backcourt where kome and trash are going to get fuckraped on the break by lebron/wade and durant/chimp

[Koolaid_Man]

Unless Lebron plans on shooting all night then we win that backcourt match-up...Kobe is flat out better than Wade..and Kobe showed in the OKC series that even today no one can guard him one on one....If Lebron drives we have Dwight waiting for his ass..no more free rides homie...this is a different ball game now...you musta forgot we don't have slow and lazy ass Bynum on the block we have the 3 time DPOY..you better get on your gay ass knees and recognize bitch...

further more don't forget Kobe's last NBA game...nigga was off the charts in the losing effort...yall niggas musta forgot :toast

I believe Kobe will rub off on D12. He already has the physical tools - it's all mental with D12. Like he taught the NBA class of 2003 in the 2008 Olympics (how to win), he'll do the same for D12.

And for any haters that claim Kobe didn't teach LBJ how to win, I point to the 2004 Olympics when even the great Tim Duncan couldn't lead them to gold. So in a way, Miami owes Kobe a debt of gratitude for last year's title. Without Kobe's tuteledge, OKC is probably the champs right now. :lol
