Gasol..u a !

[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.

Gasol didn't have his usual dominant game tonight, but he still should have received a lot more touches..that's 2 games in a row..

It's not surprising that you would say that though, you've been downplaying Gasol's contributions all year(for obvious reasons), just like most Laker fans do..

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.

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.

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.
