Absolutely, nothing says payback like a 40pt blowout.

Games like this are why I don't worry TOO much about the team when they lose. I know when they are hungry, motivated, and give their full effort they are extremely tough to beat.

I just don't see anyone in the Western Conference being able to hang with this team in a 7 game series.

Kobe's too tough to sit out games, if Kobe's sat out 16 games, Lakers would've lost about 15 games so far.

Kobe's the engine and Pau's the Mobil1.

Come on man. They were first by one or two games. Seriously what does first get you? They were looking more like the Dallas Mavericks or Phoenix Suns before the Gasol trade. A team that does great in the regular season and gets bounced in the first or second round of the playoffs. They didn't look anywhere near Boston's level before that trade.

I'm not trying to start anything up here. The Gasol trade was huge for them. Even though they were first I don't think anyone thought they could make the finals before the trade for Gasol.

Gasol missed the game against the Clippers Lakers LOST.

Gasol back and guess what? Lakers pound the Clips by 40 Freaking points!!!

Additionaly, the offense ran very smoothly with Gasol in the lineup.

If that's not a true measurement of MVP then I dont know what is.

:nope

Karman's not playing & Kobe recovered.
2nd quarter of the game, slippers put upa 11-2 run when Pau & Andrew in.
He's good, but too soft when facing athletic bigs
That's why he couln't win a single playoff game as the leader of grizzles. 12 lost in a row.

He's the mobil1, kobe's the engine. He's Kobe's Robin.

Now Kobe gets discredited because he has two-time all-star Gasol on his team? ROTFLMAO!
