Jackson: They just don’t put the ball in the post. They’ll use a screen-roll to get the guy in the post. But there’s no consistent plan to do it. Yes, Kobe will go in there. But Dwight [Howard] just doesn’t get any touches. They’ve basically eliminated his assets.

SI: But wouldn’t his assets be rolling off the screen-roll, with either [Steve] Nash or Kobe?

Jackson: You want the ball 10 feet away from the basket. Throw it into the post, make them double-team and have everybody around to make shots. That’s what Shaq could do. That’s where you have the Robert Horrys, the Derek Fishers and the Rick Foxes sitting out there getting wide-open jumpers.

At this point why double Dwight though? He hasn't been as much of a threat as he was in Orlando just yet

He did in Orlando

That was a very different offense than what Shaq ran with Phil, and what Phil is suggesting they use with Dwight now. Dwight is not a good passer and has horrible vision, and the lakers don't have the jump shooters to spoon feed Dwight and play volleyball with him while he tries to get in position for one of his awkward "power" moves.

1) We have no shooters. We actually do kick it out to the open shooter and Metta world garbage misses everything.

You guys are idiots to think we'd be better if Dwight was throwing it out to the open man. Uh you don't think we do that already? There's a reason why Artest usually takes the 2nd most shots on the team.

Now you're trolling. Other than Nash, none of those players are considered shooters. Also we're talking about kick outs, who would leave Kobe to guard Dwight? Meeks is inconsistent. MWP is shooting 39% and 34% from 3 and those are off open shots.
