Is playing the oft-injured Dwight Howard 20 minutes, like he did in the last game, all that smart for Vogel?

I'm not expecting him to play either and can understand the logic. Just hoping for it to happen, as you never know how many chances guys get it to see the floor in an NBA game.

I would love it if he did. However, I've watched almost all of the Lakers games (as much as I really don't want to, I still do). You can tell they are all rusty and not playing well together. They're trying to win games, instead they're going out there and getting embarrassed. Vogel is going to spend these last couple games trying to iron out the issues the starters and backups are having. With such a quick restart, the losses continuing and the playoffs coming up, he doesn't have the luxury of putting anyone else on the floor right now. I'd love to see Cacok, Kostas and Tucker on the floor more though. It's just not realistic right now. I still think next year is going to be the year for Cacok.
