Parker & Duncan pointing guns at a man dressed as Joey Crawford around Halloween.

I think his handle is pretty decent but yeah, he relies a lot on picks to get to the lane.

"So I want to do it the best that I can and Im going to take everything in I can to get what I can out of the NBA. Which, for me, is winning a championship," Howard said. "So if I have to play on another team or do whatever I have to do to get one, that's my goal. This is my passion, so i'll continue to fight."

Dwight already plottin

I honestly dont know how my Kings are ever gonna get better, i mean they got talent but yet they still suck every year!

They're terrible at developing their talent.

Terrible coaching, terrible front office, terrible owners.

They're just in a really bad place right now and need a complete makeover. The Kings will continue to be the same until the Maloofs sell.

The Los Angeles Lakers' Jekyll and Hyde act continued apace over the weekend, with a Friday night blitzing (17 3-pointers, 54 percent shooting, a 28-and-20 performance by Dwight Howard and 122 points) of the Denver Nuggets giving way to a Sunday night stumble against an Orlando Magic team that entered Staples Center at 5-10, losers of three straight and five of its last seven.

The loss drops the Lakers to 8-9, a below-.500 mark that seems stunning given both the collection of talent on hand and the statistical note that L.A.'s got a top-five offense and a top-10 defense in terms of points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, according to NBA.com's stat tool.

The win-loss-win-loss trading, the alternating progress and regression on display every night, has been somewhat understandable — after all, the team has had three different head coaches in the space of a month and has been without injured star point guard Steve Nash, expected to be the triggerman first for Mike Brown's new-look Princeton offense and now for the spread pick-and-roll system he ran under Mike D'Antoni for years in Phoenix, for all but 50 minutes this season. Still, explanations aside, this is hardly the way most figured the Lakers would look one-fifth of the way through the 2012-13 season.

As the losses mount — the Lakers would have to go 65-0 to fulfill Metta World Peace's preseason wish, which seems unlikely — patience is wearing thin, not only within the Lakers' fan base (which, as we've seen, can be pretty intense) but also within the ultra-competitive mind of L.A.'s top dog. From Joe McDonnell of FoxSports.com:
Kobe Bryant had seen enough.
Another humiliating loss to another bad team Sunday night had the Lakers co-captain ready to take on the whole team if his teammates don't start getting their games — and attitudes — together.
"I'll kick everybody's ass in this locker room if it doesn't happen," Bryant said after a 113-103 loss to the Orlando Magic at Staples Center. Yes, the 6-10 Orlando Magic. "It's the attitude you have to have. Metta is the same way. Dwight has it in him as well. Even though he smiles a lot, he cares a lot about this. Come hell or high water, this has to get done."

As for the Kings, I'm rooting for them because I love Cousins & T-Rob. They need to trade Reke though, he just doesn't fit anywhere in that team. They've moved him to like 3 different positions and they all failed. 4 seasons in and still no jumper

They need to do what the Bobcats did and just sell everyone and get really high draft picks and just build around Cuz.

Will be interesting to see if they bring Tyreke back this upcoming offseason.

Wouldn't be surprised if they traded him at the deadline.
