The last time a Bulls player had at least 46 points and 18 rebounds in one game? MJ in '90: 69pts, 18rebs, 6asts, 4stls vs CLE. #GOAT
I know there's an MVPau thread, but it, 46-18 deserves another thread.
The Bulls system makes Pau score 46 points
Amazing how he's flourishing this year now that he's motivated.

This year's Gasol is like someone having a tumour removed. New lease of life.
Holy , MvPau beasting, the rapist!
Lakers trading lottery picks for Nash but can't get ONE pick back for MVPau
Look what the Bulls' system did for Michael.I know there's an MVPau thread, but it, 46-18 deserves another thread.

I bet if he wins another championship, all the laker s who signed up here after Pau, then threw him under the bus, will start singing his praises again. Pathetic.
They won't. They hated Shaq even after he won another ring. They have room for one star and that's Kobe. Lakers fans historically have taken huge s on ex-Lakers, even retired ones. They are the "what have you done for me lately" crowd. Most of them couldn't even name another player on the team other than Kobe.
They know when a newly acquired player changes their playoff hopes, and they ride him during that time, but if he's ever traded or leaves or retires, they credit Kobe with the success and under the bus goes the real reason.
No Lakers fan registered here under the game "Pau" anything.
thats true, there is a precedent.
Act like somebody in the playoffs without Kobe holding his hand.
Until then 0-16 withstanding.
accurate analogy. he's no longer plagued by the biggest cancer in the nba
So who was the cancer when he was going 0-16 in the playoffs without Kobe?
Fact: Kobe missed the playoffs one year and only won ONE game the next, and threatened to quit.
Fact: Gasol came along and Lakers make 3 consecutive Finals appearances including 2 championships
Fact: Gasol was better in the Finals than Kevin Garnett
Fact: Kobe shot 6 - 24
Fact: When Gasol stopped caring, Lakers were swept the year following their 2010 championship
Fact: Kobe didn't change anything about his game, nothing....
He had to play some damn good teams in those matchups, unfortunately. In his very first playoff run, he had to face the defending champion Spurs, who were like on a 13 game winning streak going into the playoffs. The next year, he played the Seven Second or Less Suns team at their peak. And the next year: The Mavericks, who won 60 games and made it to the NBA Finals. And in the '13 series against the Spurs, he was by far the Lakers' best player while your boy Dwight quit.
Gasol can't be blamed for any of those playoff failures.
Oh, and let's see who was Gasol's sidekick during his Memphis playoff runs:
04: James Posey
05: White Chocolate
06: Eddie Jones
Lamar Odom>>>>any of those players. It's a miracle Gasol even got those Grizzlies teams into the playoffs.
The 0-16 shtick is going to die this year, 1 year after the 5>4 shtick died, tbh..
he had like 20 pts in the 1st qrtr against us the other day...dude is still legit .
Wtf 46/18 @34 years old? Can't believe how Lakerfan across the spectrum all over this guy and scapegoated him for everything when the real culprit was the rapist. This season might be my favorite since '99
And it only took a move to the best team in the weak ass east and a system designed to hide his flaws. He will finally get his playoff win without Kobe. Props.The 0-16 shtick is going to die this year, 1 year after the 5>4 shtick died, tbh
COT DAMN at that stat line from MJ, .
How is being on the Bulls hiding his flaws? You probably think because he's playing alongside Noah that he can coast on defense. Thing is, he's the Bulls best rebounder and shot-blocker, so he's doing plenty of work on that end.
The biggest "flaw" that is hidden this year is his lack of motivation, since playing with a chucker and under a coach (D'Antoni) who tried to use him as a stretch 4 pretty much killed his compe ive will.
Shots fired at Bean:
“I don’t usually like guys having that amount of points,” Gasol said. “It takes away the rhythm of the other players. I’m all about balance and team game.”?
