After going 0-12 pre-Kobe he went 0-4 after the Achilles while he had Dwight and Nash to help him.
He had a good game its no big deal. Here's some real analysis I stole from LG...

His problem wasn't offense.
His problem was and is defense. Opposing players see him and drive by him as if he wasn't there. He doesn't protect the rim at all - he doesn't jump. Bulls are perfect for him because they can hide him behind Noah and Gibson who are athletic defenders who actually like to defend and give a sh*t (unlike Dwight).
And let's be honest. Pau just didn't want to be here since 2011. Whatever happened that year in the PO just made him quit. We saw him play phenomenal for Spain and than suck with the Lakers. Brown and MDA didn't help in that situation.
He is in a good place and I'm happy that he isn't with us. I don't think that letting him go was a mistake - it was good for both sides. Actually I think that FO made a mistake by pursuing him and offering a no-trade clause.
And one more thing. He moved to the east. There are literally no big men who can defend him. No Duncan, Z-Bo, Marc, Bogut, Chandler, Jordan, Blake, Dwight, Ibaka, Cousins, Davis, Asik. He had to face tough competition in the west. There is literally nobody that can even match him in the east. He rests on defense and just shoots over people on offense. It is ridiculous how weak east is.
