Pau Gasol

[midnightpulp]

27-13-3-2 on 63% shooting against one of the better frontlines in the league. And still a top 5 big in the NBA. Just amazing. I like Jimmy Butler, but Gasol is the most important Bull, without question.

:worthy:

I'm just happy he isn't with the lakers anymore.

MVPAU :cry

I really wanted the Suns to go after him. He could have really taught Len a thing or three and would have really shore up the C position, providing low-post scoring and high-post passing. :/

[Malik Hairston]

He's been a monster this season, and that Bulls squad hides his flaws, too..easily a top 2 player on the best team in the East and a legit contender, as long as Rose doesn't sabotage them by trying to be important, tbh..

His atrocious defense from the 2 prior years looks a lot better this year, as well..

[BillMc]

I still find it amusing that "offensive genius" Mike D'Antoni couldn't find a way to use him.

[Franklin]

Not _'Antoni's fault imho, no one would've made it work with someone chucking 30+ shots every night

[Bynumite]

Multiple big men put up career highs against Pau during his last season with LAL. Bulls system really is the ideal situation for Pau at this stage of his career.

D.Rose will have his Tony Parker moment in the playoffs, IMO. Watch him shoot his team out of the playoffs.

Must be frustrating for Rose knowing he's not even as valuable as Butler and Gasol...

So from what I gather... Pau is a system player that needs the right coach and teammates to flourish. Much like Jim.

And both had to carry the rest of the sack of shits on the team to NBA titles.

And yet Jim is still > .... you know the rest.

I don't miss Boozer. Pau is playing like a beast for this team, hope this continues all season, including the playoffs. He really is a perfect fit for this team and Noah, Gasol can give teams fits.

Pau is making Noah expendable.

[Splits]

Unreal how Laker Nation shit all over this guy. He gets a chance in a healthy environment and is dominating. Go figure, not playing with the league's worst teammate he goes from scapegoat to dominant.

Spin that shit, Kobestan cockgobblers.

[ElNono]

:lol @ Lakerfan gymnastics in here... he was dropping 20-10 on a nightly basis, had the Lakeshow at .500... at this time last season, but "it's the Bulls system" crofl

[Malik Hairston]

Noah and Rose look terrible, tbh, it'll be interesting to see what they do with them..they don't really need Noah anyways, Gibson would fit well in the stsrting lineup and Mirotic is a solid 3rd big..

[ambchang]

Pau is making Noah expendable.

Noah covers for the little that MVPau lacks.

They compliment each other fantastically with their offensive/defensive games and interior passing.

[Malik Hairston]

Noah looks terrible and he kills their offense, tbh..their announcers have actually been mentioning it the past few games, opposing teams are not respecting Noah on offense and it has clogged their offense when Noah/Rose are on the floor together..

He's also nowhere near the same player, defensively..

Noah is overrated because he plays with super intensity and says things like "Cleveland sucks". His game, while fairly effective, is pretty damn ugly and nowhere on the level of Gasol's. He's a garbageman with an attitude.

[ambchang]

Noah regressed this year for sure, but I am not ready to say he "sucks".

His game is still a great compliment to MVPau's. But then again, it's MVPau, his game is so good others just fit around him.

To be fair, the Bulls system is great for Pau at this stage, and looks even better when compared to the crap Dantoni tried to pull with him. The Bulls allow him to emphasize his strengths, particularly on the defensive end. But yeah, Laker fans throwing Pau under the bus was just shameful.

[Malik Hairston]

I don't think Noah sucks, but I don't think they can win a title if they're starting both Noah and Rose, they're going to have to limit the minutes of one of them(and obviously they can't do it to Rose without backlash)..

[Mugen]

Noah had a pretty significant knee injury over the summer. I agree that he's looked pretty bad this season tbh.

It's amazing what allowing an all-star player to touch the ball more than once per quarter does to their production.

I was watching the Bulls-Rockets game last night and Pau played really well. He really fits in well with their offense. But I gotta be honest...Pau absolutely kills me with his screaming bullshit. This dude yells like a bitch for no apparent reason. Last night there was one play where he screamed at the top of his lungs and fell down, looking for a whistle. The replay showed that no one even touched Pau smh, even the Bulls commentators were saying that they wouldn't have given Pau the call in that instance.
