I see nikkas talmbout Lakers Title Lock!!

Bynum and Howard damn near even, minus the athleticism.

Spurs >>>
Thunder >>>
Clippers >>>

Bynum takes plays off. He said it himself in interviews:snoop:

Howard a fakkit but at least I know he'll give 100% every game

he would easily improve their defense, if his back isnt a mess.

Dwight a better player than Bynum.


Slightly more efficient offensively, and the better defender.

And despite Howards free agent mess off the court, he's always been mature and played hard on the court

Didn't Roy Hibbert say when Dwight wants to, he can be the most dominant player in the game

In other words, Dwight takes plays and games off too :mjpls:

Dwight a roster that featured these players in one way shape or form to the 3rd best defense(DRtg 101.8) in his last full season of 2011

Hedo
Jrich
Gilbert
Jameer
Vince
Rashard Lewis
Ryan Anderson

His defensive impact is unparalleled. He covers all the mistakes of the mediocre to below average defenders around him

Or if he's not on his period. This nikka has shown so many feminine tendencies right now I wouldn't trust him if I was a team contending for a title.

As far as Dwight vs. Bynum its' really this simple...Dwight is better on D, Andrew is better on O. Now that Dwight has had back surgery they are both injury risks. Based on the composition of the Lakers right now I think they probably need the more athletic rim protector more.

The athleticism is the difference, having Howard would give the Lakers better transition D. Bynum can be good in half-court D, but he's a liability in transition. Which is the Heat and Thunders biggest weapon
