RT @LakersReporter: Howard (back) is continuing to feel good w/no set backs. He said he will "hopefully" play in a preseason game, but no guarantees.

Wow so he might play a preseason game. Would be nice to get 1 practice game but would understand if they just want him to take it easy till oct 30.

Dwight Howard's target date seems to be a moving target. Asked today if he could play in Sunday's preseason opener, he said, "Hopefully."

Would be awesome to see him play this weekend. Doubt it though. I mean he probably could but why chance it.

[True Lakers Fan]

Cool, If he will play a pre-season game but again I hope he's not rushing it

[bigfetz]

One thing to remember is that even if he plays in the preseason its not like he will play much. I doubt playing 10-15 mins will hurt much.

Kobe on communicating/playing w/Nash: "Most of the time I don't even need to say anything. He already knows."

Sounds like the chemistry him and Pau used to have. That is a GOOD to GREAT sign.

Update:

@LakersReporter

Nash allowed that going through drills w/t starters feels like All Star practice, the key difference being this here means something.

@LakersReporter

Nash said he couldn't tell that @DwightHoward had any back issue at all, but team didn't run any full court w/contact.

@LakersReporter

Impressive 3-point comeback in next game from Dwight, draining 3 of 5 from the corner w/Chris Duhon yelling "That's his spot!"

Howard: "These guys need me for the whole season." A reason he doesn't want to push too fast. But getting closer.

Mike Brown definitely wants to reduce Kobe's minutes this year. Acknowledges they were too high last year, feels team is now deeper.

Thanks Majesty. Your consistent/constant work is appreciated. I'd give you more +1s to show for, but honestly I literally always run out. I think I might just give the most away out of anybody cause everyday that seems to happen to me, lol.

Watching Dwight moving around today and considering he's doing full-out 1-on-1 and 2-on-2, hard to imagine he misses opener 4 WEEKS AWAY
