Dwight HOWARD injury - A worrying sign for the lakers?

[francesco totti]

Should howard's injury be a worrying sign for the lakers?
He was out since April, it will near a 6 month injury.

[senelcoolidge]

It's a back injury. Those type of injuries easily become chronic and often players are never the same. If I were Howard, I would not rush it. Even if you miss half of the season.

[KOBE143]

Nope.. Even w/o Howard, our team is capable of winning 55+ but we still need him healthy in the playoff tho.. With out Howard our chance of winning the titles is pretty low.. With healthy Howard, it will guarantee 6th rings for our Great Lord Mamba that will make him the GOAT..

With addition of jamison and nash!! Hill and others!! I believe the Lakers can still win the title!! Howard just makes easier!! Or if kobe was out Howard in even better chance!! Yes I said that!!!!

You do realize they had a doctor check him prior to the trade right?

Yeah, do people not realize that the Lakers are basically investing 20 million dollars and the future of their franchise in him? The Buss family and Mitch arn't dumb...I'm sure that they did everything possible to make sure when he comes back he'll still be Dwight.

[SpecialQue]

No.

Lakers have a win win situation!!

let's hope he is "dwight" of old for comeptition sake...that surgery is pretty serious and can take away range of motion. all depends on his recovery i guess...i'm thinking his 12ft dunking capabilities are out the window now :(

[ashlar]

I would be VERY surprised if he doesn't start the first game of the regular season...

[Reverend Hoops]

Nothing to worry about. He will be 110% healthy by opening day. He's Superman.

[Mr. Incredible]

I would be worried. I'd be worried about the injury status of the whole team throughout the year. Oldddddd

[KeyNote]

He'll be cleared probably some time in the next 2 - 3 weeks..which means he'll be 100%

[All Net]

Not worried at all... Dwight will be 100% soon enough.

[jstern]

I once injured my back. I was in bed unable to move at all for like 3 days, then walked on crutches. Iced it a lots. Completely healed, and my eye white became whiter. Of course Howard's was worse. My point is that rest is amazing. So much fear as I laid there.

[TheBigVeto]

I hope the injury cause the Lakers' failure to get to the finals this season.

[KOBE143]

I hope the injury cause the Lakers' failure to get to the finals this season.
:facepalm You're just afraid that healthy Lakers team will destroy your heat in the finals.. Keep dreaming.. :lol

LOL @ "My Heat".

I'm not a Heat fan dude. I just consider Lebron >>>>>>>>>>>> Kobe. I think DWhistle is also overrated like Kobe.

[LakersReign]

....in other words.....you're(bigveto) really yet another FAKE Heat fan aka Lebronyte sock puppet account. Big surprise:sleeping

[SyRyanYang]

I'm sure he won't be back unless he's 100%. Missing a couple dozens of regular season games ain't a big deal.

[TheBigVeto]

....in other words.....you're(bigveto) really yet another FAKE Heat fan aka Lebronyte sock puppet account. Big surprise:sleeping

LOL @ this clown Reigny.

I gave Bron shit for leaving Cleveland - by doing that he pretty much won't be the GOAT SF.

But he has always been better than Kobe since his rookie year.

[LakersReign]

LakersReign bringing the pain :rockon:

[TheBigVeto]

LakersReign bringing the pain :rockon:

What pain?

I am clearly:
1. Not a heat fan
2. Not a lebron fan but considers him better than kobe

Reigny is clearly a Kobetard who's :mad:

[TheBigVeto]

FAKE Cavs fan(bigveto) + Miami Cavaliers fan(bigveto) STILL = FAKE Heat fan(bigveto):sleeping

:roll: this guy is :mad:

Don't be mad fool, you should be thankful that Stern is backing your favorite. team.

Of course if the team implodes for whatever reason (kobe chucking and choking, howard's injury or the basketball gods finally got enough of stern's preferential treatment just to name 3 possibilities), good unbiased basketball fans will all rejoice and laugh while you cry with your Kobe doll.

[LakersReign]

(yawns) @this pathetic FAKE Heat fan(bigveto):rolleyes:

[francesco totti]

[KeyNote]

From what all the laker insiders are saying on twitter and such, sunday is realistic for a return..he did say he wanted to get a couple of preseason games under his belt

[LakersReign]

The only people worried about Howard were the FAKE Heat fan ISH doctors, who were delusional enough to actually think reasonable NBA fans were going to take their hater opinion, over the opinion of the doctor who actually performed the surgery.:facepalm

....after and ONLY....A-F-T-E-R....you(poido) show me those CREDIBLE links(NOT a b.s. ISH link) to where you(poido) claim"so many" people think Pau was the 2010 FMVP. Deal?:confusedshrug:

[monkeypox]

Well on the local radio they said the type of back injury he has isn't the type that significantly increases the chance of re-occurrence. Basically a small leak from one of the disks where they had to scrape out the part that leaked out and let scar tissue form. It's never good to do back surgery but it's not like a severely damaged disk or fractures in the bones in his back.
