Gasol..u a bitch!

Grow some balls. You gonna let old ass KG clown you like that.

you wernt even getting double teamed all game and kept looking around to pass. Stop passing it out to Kobe...you turning him into chucker mode.

looked like you lost your explosiveness and became a jump shooter.

Shit son.

Bynum for MVP.

Man he was holding the ball too long in the post. It's like watching pussy muscle-controlling those balls

yah..he was like 10 feet from the basket pump faking for like 20 seconds...fucking 3 seconds left, then passes it to Kobe...WTF!

[milkshakeballa]

Ye watching Pau was REALLY frustrating today both on O and D.

He played A LOT better D in the 4th quarter though...KG just hit some tough shots.

IMO Lakers need to establish Pau EARLY in Game 4.

Go at him first 3 or 4 possessions and run the offense entirely though him.

Gasol forgot the memo that the refs were gonna let them play. KG was able to back him down without resistance.

what a fucking dumb troll

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL, Gasol passed the ball up in single coverage for 1 possession IIRC, the announcers made a comment about it, then everybody ran with it, as usual..I could be wrong, I need video proof, but from what I remember, he only passed up that 1 play, where Kobe took a baseline fadeaway, and JVG criticized Gasol for it(rightfully so)..

That's 2 games in a row where Pau isn't getting the proper amount of touches, it's sad to watch TBH..he had a usage % of 17 in game 2 with BY FAR the highest offensive rating on the team, yet they didn't look to him at all in the 4th quarter..in this game, it was similar, although Fisher was hot..

Pau played a weak game and got abused by KG tonight. He tossed the ball out of the post in panic with the shot clock winding down no less than 4 times and I would bet even more upon rewatching the game.

Everything Laker is Kobe related. Good or bad. You should know this by now. He gets the glory so naturally when things are not going right he also gets equal blame.


You should create threads like "Kobe.. u a bitch!" when he's having he's less than stellar NBA Finals performance.

Am I the only one noticing how much Sheed bothers Pau on defense?

KG should be the better defender but Pau has pretty much had his way with KG. Not so with Sheed. Not real quick anymore but very smart and he really seems to know where Pau is going before he goes.

[21_Blessings]

Length and physicality bother Pau. Sheed does match up well with him.

But that doesn't excuse Pau's passiveness. He kept passing it out of the post to Kobe expecting to bail him out. Pau needs Fisher's fearless mentality. He needs to take he wants even when shit isn't going his way.

[TD 21]

Gasol is a bitch and has become slightly overrated, but at the same time if Bryant didn't have a hero complex, the Lakers would have won this game going away. Gasol and Bynum should have received a lot more touches tonight and they didn't because Bryant came with his typical "don't forget about me" game. Gasol was getting too much publicity and Bryant was clearly growing increasingly jealous, so he was desperate to put up big numbers tonight in an attempt to get the spotlight back on him and leave no doubt in people's minds that he should be the Finals MVP.

Gasol will let it slide because they won and it's the Finals, but there's no doubt in my mind that if they had lost this game, he'd have bitched to the media about the lack of touches. He's not stupid, he knows exactly what Bryant is trying to do and it's only going to get worse in the coming seasons as the gap continues to close between the two.

The reason Bryant has always loved having Gasol is because he knows he can win championships with him, but also he was head and shoulders better than him and Gasol had a deferential personality. That's no longer the case. The gap is closing fast and Bryant recognizes it. If you think his hero complex is bad now, wait until next year and the year after, etc. He can't handle sharing the spotlight with someone else.

I happen top think Pau is the top big man in the league. I have issues from time to time with his softness on D and complaining on every posession. His skills are 2nd to none but he is NOT a leader or go to guy in the clutch and he has proven that over his entire career.

I love that he is on our team as his excellent contributions make a contender the team to beat.

With all that said, anyone who suggests that Pau is the MVP of the Lakers is a complete moron. Does this mean he couldn't be for a week or two stretch or in a particular series? Of course not. He could very well be the finals mvp this year but in no way is he the Laker MVP. Only in your pea brain.

BTW, did you happen to see the timeouts with the Laker huddles. Where was Pau? Was he there leading the team on? Nope. The entire team was focused on one person and that person was commanding total respect from them, inculding Pau.

Oh yeah I really noticed that in today's game. Rasheed plays him really well in the post. Pau needs to face him up and take him off the dribble. He can draw fouls all day long on Rasheed if he faces him up and drives and help doesn't come. Rasheed does not have the footspeed to stay with him. If Rasheed backs off and takes away the drive, then Pau needs to take that open 10-15 ft jumper which he has the ability to hit with regularity.

Go over to the game thread. Pretty much every laker fan dissed on Kobe for tonights 2nd half. The Gasol u a bitch thread is no doubt a direct reflection on the idiot poster like you who have spent the whole season raggin on Kobe and using any significant Laker player performance to downgade him. Especially on Paus part.

You are obsessed... and it's comical to watch... and that $100 bucks is going to be sweeeeeeeeeet!

[TD 21]

Gasol's skills aren't second to none; they're second to one. As in Duncan. Duncan has lost mobility and durability, but he hasn't lost his skills. He may not dig as deep into his repertoire as he used to, as all the pivoting, twisting, turning and spinning probably hurts his knees, but there's no question in my mind that he's more skilled than Gasol.

And Bryant is a phony ass leader playing to the cameras (what's worse is that these pea brain idiots seem to buy it, or at least pretend to because they're desperate to make him seem better than he is). He doesn't rank amongst the best leaders in the league, such as Duncan, Kidd, Billups, Nash, Ginobili, etc.

Absolutely. Sheed has better lateral movement and anticipates Pau's post moves well. His length troubles him a lot.

[TD 21]

Once again ABC/ESPN making it all about Bryant. Going to/coming out of breaks, he's always the first face shown, the first name uttered. This is why ESPN is a joke. Fisher should have received all of the glory (my dislike for him only increased with his diva like Oscars acceptance speech while being interviewed post game) and Bryant should have been ripped to shreds for pounding the ball into the floorboards, not utilizing the Lakers big men nearly enough and jacking up myriad ridiculous long range, off balance, contested shots. If Jackson still had a pulse, he might have actually done something about the fact that Bryant almost gifted the Celtics a win.

but not being able to pullout a decent post move tonight was horrible. He became like Game 1 Garnett.

[JamStone]

Pau had that one fastbreak dunk from Kobe, but I believe 3 of the field goals he made were face-up jumpers. He didn't really bang down low that much at all. And, old ass, broke knees KG pulled Pau's shorts down and hit it doggystyle in front of garden. I think he even pulled his hair and told him to call him daddy. And KG didn't even pop a viagra.

Gasol playing like crap doesn't really mean Kobe played well. Kobe was pretty awful offensively last night too. But if you just look at the boxscore, you might think Pau had a decent game whereas the truth is he got undressed and bent last night.

You might want to catch a game every now and then if you want to comment on "touches."

Gasol got plenty of touches but didn't play particularly well. Combination of him seeming "off" and great D played by KG and (especially) Sheed.

Like I posted elsewhere, Sheed really seems to have his number.

[JamStone]

Even in his old age and declined state, Rasheed is still able to do a pretty solid and sometimes great job on some of the better big men in the game. He's particularly good at getting leverage and using that and balance to defend the low post. He's got good footwork and quick hands and has the size and length to make shots challenging. He's no longer quick or very athletic, but he still seems to do a pretty good job on guys like Gasol or Dwight Howard, and he's always done a pretty good job on Duncan and KG. I'm not completely sure how he defends Dirk but I think he's had some success against him as well. Plus I also think he mentally gets up for the "star" big men in the league and when he actually has focus and motivation, he can do a really good job defensively. Too bad he's a lazy ass and would often let scrubs light him up.

[mavsfan1000]

Celtics have Wallace and Garnett and yet they put undersized Big Baby on him in a key part of the 4th quarter. Doc Rivers is a dumb coach. Just lucky to be on a smart team.

[JamStone]

That's actually a tough call though because while Sheed played well defensively, he was putrid offensively, and Baby was very active offensively and the Celtics needed better offense. I thought Baby played well when he was on the court.

But agree that Doc is dumb.
