Dwight Howard says the Lakers' offense gives up so much, turnovers, bad shot that Nash will help the defense

He elaborates on Nash, defense and many Lakers issues . . . "If we can control the ball on the offensive end, play the way we want to play on offense and get a good shot every time, then we get back and set our defense, which for the most part is pretty good," Howard said. "When we turn the ball over, it puts us in a bad position to get back because we're running a play and then losing the ball, our momentum is going this way and they're going back the other way. We just really have to focus on getting a good shot every time, using the clock shot to our advantage." http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-howard-believes-nash-helps-defense-20121218,0,7251251.story
