Shaq Calls Out Dwight
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Kobe Bryant sat out the Los Angeles Lakers' two practices Friday because of discomfort in his right foot.
The discomfort is not considered serious, however, and Bryant is day-to-day.

Lakers trainer Gary Vitti consulted with Bryant at the start of the morning practice and informed coach Mike Brown that it would be better for the 17-year veteran to sit out.
"My take on it is this: Gary has a job to do, he's our head trainer and I just follow his lead," Brown said. "He knows a lot more than me when it comes to that stuff, so really, I'm OK not knowing what's going on. Just, 'Can a guy go or not?' If you can go, great. If he can't go, great."
Lakers center Dwight Howard continued to make progress toward a complete recovery from offseason back surgery. A day after participating in his first full-court 5-on-5 scrimmage as a Laker (albeit a game of 5-on-5-on-5 that shuttled three five-man units in and out, allowing for extra rest), Howard practiced Friday without any limitations.
"I couldn't even tell you what he hasn't done," Brown said. "Every time I look up he's in the drills, whether it's contact or non-contact."
Howard still is ruled out of the Lakers' preseason opener Sunday against the Golden State Warriors, but Brown said he would not require Howard to play in a certain amount of preseason contests before he would plug him back in the lineup in the regular season.
"I don't have a rule where a guy has to play X amount of games before he can play in the opener," Brown said. "He can play one (preseason) game and still play. He might not play at all and still play ... The biggest thing for me is as long as he's in practice beforehand." -

Honestly, just Nash being their maximizes everybodies game.... I think kobe / dwight / pau will improve by 20% on offense each, just with nash there... Then Nash will keep Pau's head in the game....
If they all stay healthy, they are guaranteed a title. The biggest lock in history. -
Kobe the spot up shooter lol Nash getting him crazy open looks.

lakers are scary...? don't make sense
-
Kobe , Gasol and Nash got good chemistry
-
damn the Warriors locking the second/third string the ? up. this is good though, they need to find out who is going to be running the show and if they can play thru adversity when the starters need a rest.
-
Bench looking nasty smh

New offense was working whenever Nash was in, we looked clueless when he is out.

Yeah Nash was running that ? but in their defense it's kinda hard to let come in after Nash and expect the same results. -
Kobe gonna have to handle PG duties when nash out....smh cuz blake and duhon is just spot up shooters basically
-
they could use another distributor as a backup for nash.
-
Fun to have Lakers Basketball back and see our first unit clicking early.
