    That's good and all, but again Thabeet isn't this guy...

    I harp on this because Gasol was the guy who killed us when Tim wasn't in the game. There are going to be times in the playoffs (should the Spurs meet the Lakers) that he's going to guard Gasol. I don't want the Spurs getting killed.

    After watching how physical Blair was on Thabeet, One post up on Blair by Gasol would instantly have Gasol into the fetal position for the rest of the game.

    I hope they don't make this guy lose weight, it's his weight that makes him what he is.

    I thought that once upon a time, but a funny thing happened during the 2009 playoffs. Gasol appeared to grow a pair. He banged with the Rockets who tried to push him around. He banged with the Nuggets who got in his face more than the Rockets did.

    And finally he went at the DPOY and made him look foolish at times.

    Plus, Gasol improved his defense drastically.

    I hate to say it, but Gasol is a beast these days and should a toughness no one thought he had.

    You're totally right, dude. We should have draft Blake Griffin.

    Buford mentioned Barkley comparisons too. One can only dream. Hope those knees hold up.

    Are there any players that you particularly would love to play with?

    DeJuan Blair
    There are lot of good players out there and I want to play with all of them. I would prefer to have a veteran on the team that I can learn from but if I go to a young team that would be fine too. We can all learn from each other and help one another continue to get better.

    Matt (Australia)
    Hey DeJuan, what's your secret to outplaying Hasheem Thabeet?
    DeJuan Blair
    Just go at his chest and knock with off balance so he can't block my shot. Go straight up.
