Chip: "you probably never learned this at Colorado - but -this is called a right hand layup!"

D. White: (thinking to himself) "this guy helped Kawhi?"

I wonder what's up with Gasol. I know its a B2B but he didn't play THAT much last night. Not a good sign if he can't stay healthy even on limited minutes.

[loveforthegame]

Y’all really not voting for our dudes #AllStar ?

LMA not even cracking the top 10. DDR not getting much love either.

Gasol is done man.Physically,done,and he's been done for the last 3 years.The last time Pau Gasol was moving like his actual self in a basketball court was in a Eurobasket Spain won and he was the MVP in the summer of 2015.

We were happy he was hitting 3s and "expanding" his game but the sad truth is he is slow,can't jump over a newspaper,can't guard anyone,and has trouble moving up and down the court.

Also his latest injury probably took away any ability to at least be a veteran 10min per night contributor.Stress fracture was it? No joke on 40year old 7footers.. It is what it is.

Father Time has already destroyed him.

Sadly accurate.

Stress fractures are no joke. Same thing that took Yao out. Obviously Pau isn't quite Yao's size, but he ain't no spring chicken either.

Oh great, pau is starting

haha this will be fun

[slick'81]

Okc is fcked tbh

If i remember correctly Yao had 10-15 stress microfractures simultaneously before retirement.His foot was basically dissolving into molecules.

Pau's looks like a lighter version of Manu's from the 14 chip last game vs Heat.Still Manu sat down his whole summer to heal and he was always a featherweight.

Pg13 vs dd is always fun to watch.

[timvp]

@ Gasol starting.

Well, better than Cunningham starting, I guess.
