Kevin Ding's post on LA Lakers | Latest updates on Sulia

Dwight Howard said he was "excited" about Mike D'Antoni. As for the new Lakers coach's emphasis on offense ...

Howard said: "This will be great. You have guys on this team who love to play defense, and he's an offensive coach. I think we'll find a balance. Shawn Marion and Raja Bell, I think those are the only two guys who really, really focused on defense on his previous teams. Here, you've got myself, Kobe, Metta, who love to D-up. The young guys that we have, that's all they want to do: Put the straps on. I think it'll be great for us. Run and gun, but we can come down on the other end and play defense."
