FWIW, Dwight Howard discussed the Lakers' recent criticism for faffing around at the beginning of games. He said they had adopted a new strategy after a bad game (I think against the Knicks?), determined to smash opponents right out of the gate, leaving no doubt in the opponent's mind that they are not there to mess around. Mission accomplished, I guess.
