"Howard was restrained from going at his teammate, according to the source, and there have been rumblings from the center’s camp that he’s been unhappy with Bryant since earlier in the season.

Three days after the altercation, following a disheartening loss to the Clippers, Howard complained about the lack of chemistry on the Lakers. It was a comment seemingly directed at Bryant, who is averaging a league-high 22 shots despite playing with three potential Hall of Famers.

Dwight needs to slap fire out his ass. 22 shots per game? Who you think you are now? Wilt? Sit your ass down next to AI and praise Shaq for your rings.

Gotta love this nonsense. These guys were deemed the biggest threat in the NBA and still can't get it together. Howard's still playing hurt. Gasol has put on too many miles this last season. It's a beauty to watch. They can still get it together but this is just amazing.

All this really upsets me. I mean I am really demoralized.





Wait on second thought...






No I'm not.

Dwight posted that on Instagram today. Yeah, it really looks like they hate each other.

Was reading ESPN when this caught my eye:

"Everyone arguing that Gasol is washed-up (or close to washed-up) is taking crazy pills. He's a conventional center who likes playing down low. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. When they made the 2008 Finals and won the 2009 and 2010 titles, it happened with Gasol playing center, Lamar Odom playing power forward and Bynum either wearing a suit or carrying the second team's offense. Here, look:

2008 Playoffs: Gasol, 39.7 MPG … Odom, 37.4 MPG … Bynum, 0.0 MPG
2009 Playoffs: Gasol, 40.5 MPG … Odom, 32.0 MPG … Bynum, 17.4 MPG
2010 Playoffs: Gasol, 39.8 MPG … Odom, 29.0 MPG … Bynum, 24.4 MPG

Game 4 of the 2009 Finals swung that series: Lakers 99, Magic 91 (overtime). Gasol played 49 minutes, Odom played 28 minutes, Bynum played 16 minutes.

Game 6 of the 2010 Finals (backs to the wall against Boston): Gasol played 41 minutes (17 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists), Odom played 28 minutes, Bynum played 16 minutes.

Game 7 of the 2010 Finals (L.A. beats Boston in final minute): Gasol played 42 minutes (19 points, 18 rebounds), Odom played 35 minutes, Bynum played 19 minutes.

In the 2011 playoffs? Bynum jumped to 32 minutes per game. The following year, he averaged 35.2 minutes in the regular season and 37.6 minutes in the playoffs. Suddenly Gasol wasn't a traditional low-post center anymore — no wonder his numbers suffered. He's not Dirk Nowitzki, and he's not going to thrive playing 20 feet from the basket. I've said this 10 times on television already, but I'm saying it again: I went to the 2012 Summer Olympics and watched three of Spain's games in person, when they revolved everything around a high-low game with the Gasol Hermanos (Marc up top, Pau down low). Nobody could stop them. In the gold-medal game, he was ripping up Team USA's double-teams and doing whatever he wanted. So you can't say his skills atrophied, or that he's washed-up, because there's absolutely no evidence that he's not still a franchise low-post center if you use him like a franchise low-post center."

Jeff Van Gundy goes off on Howard and Gasol:
