LOL, look up the Lakers record since Gasol joined the team. The dude had a bad game, that's it.
There's no way the Cavs are anyone else are going to beat the Lakers in a seven game series. I wish that wasn't the case, but it is.
Hey, if you Lakerfans think Gasol is such a dud, you wanna trade him for Dice?
Gasol is a soft player, but last season he at least made an effort to play like a man and it definitely made a difference. This year he seems to be back to his same soft pussy play and that is troubling.
As much as I diss on Pau; I'm glad to have him back.
Kobe will slap him around a couple of times and he'll come through for the Kobe's #5
He will be fine. He's coming off 2 injuries and its only the halfway mark. I think you will see this team along with PAU really gear up and get tough down the stretch. Lakers still have the best record in the league at this point and they have not even come close to playing to their potential while other teams like Cleveland tonight act like they won the LOB cause they beat the defending champs. So many teams would love to have those issues.
Most teams will find it hard to win when one player takes 31 shots and only contributes 31 points.
31 shots and 31 points? Wow, Kobe back to his ball-hogging days
just another typical night for Kobe
MVPau had a bad night, it happens..he IS soft though, nothing changed..he wasn't "exposed" last year due to the extremely weak compe ion he went against in the frontcourt..the year before, he had poor showings against both the Celtics and Spurs..
Bynum is really soft as well, but everybody knows that..
BTW, LOL @ making Gasol the scapegoat when Kobe took 31 shots on poor efficiency..age and mileage does that though..
Ron Artest was the reason LeBron missed 12 shots. The other 13 he made were against other defenders. We made a good signing. - Lakerfan.
Don't worry. The zebras will make sure Kobe gets plenty of FTs come playoff time.
Anubody who actually watched that game and could honestly say that Kobe was the reason the Lakers lost is either a total moron or simply a Kobe basher. Most likey a combination of both.
This game was lost due to dismal games from both Pau and Bynum along with a poor defensive effort in the paint.
You are simply another idiot sheep on the Kobe haterwagon.
You cant just look at raw stats when analysing a players game. When a guy (Kobe) is asked to create the majority of the offense, and has the ball in his hands as much as he does, its his responsibilty to get his team mates comfortable in the early part of the game and get them going. Kobe didnt do that tonight, and LeBron did. (And IMO that was the biggest difference between the two tonight)
Yea, Pau had a bad night, he went 5-13 and most of that is to do with him, but you cant expect someone to get in rythim and have a strong game when he is getting one touch every 7 or 8 possessions. This is how the Lakers offense went tonight. Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Pau, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Bynum, Kobe, Kobe, Pau, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Pau, Kobe.... Pau just didnt get the ball enough to get into any sort of rythm - and thats on Kobe.
LeBron was getting his team mates going from the get to, and then finished the game himself - something Kobe is normally good at. Even Kobe, at his matured age and stage of his career, gets caught up way too much in the mano-e-mano when going against top players.
Last game the Cavs won in LA, LeBron sacrificed his stats and showmanship by allowing his team mates to create some offense (Shaq and Mo) and feed of them for the betterment of the team. I expected Kobe to do that tonight - instead he comes out gunning taking 10 of the first 15 shots, and didnt allow either of Pau or Bynum to get into any sort of rythm or comfort zone.
That cost them the game tonight.
every franchise player has bad game sometimes. Laker fans are ungrateful when they criticize gasol all the time.
Props to the Cavs for playing well. Props for the Lakers for showing up and not playing like they did on Chistmas day.
All this game showed me is that these 2 can play with each other and when the Lakers are in it mentally they can compete with anyone.
This specific game could have gone either way. Pau makes those 2 FT and it's a different game. Pau stunk it up with his lack of Cajones plays but I am confident he will re-evaluate himself and see precisely what he did wrong.
The Q is not a easy place to play in and the Lakers demonstrated some great composure. Composure is key to many things in this game.
Do the Cavs have the Lakers number? I don't think so but they are definitely a different animal this year mentally that is. There's alot of emmotion on that Cavs team and after getting trounced like they did last year it's in their heads to prove otherwise and for that I respect them. You can see it in Lebrons demeanor.
Any, congrats to the Cavs on the win.
.....We shall meet again but under different cir stances.
lol that was vintage Gaysol...
Marc is WAYYYYYYYY tougher than the older brother... WAAAAAAAYYYYYY tougher
All this gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands.......geez.....it's just one game in a looong season.......as a Spurs fan, I wish I had only that to complain about......at least you'll know where your team will be in the mix at the end......
And much less athletic, and much less skilled in every single department.
Good player but.
...Funny things can happen though...All this gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands.......geez.....it's just one game in a looong season.......as a Spurs fan, I wish I had only that to complain about......at least you'll know where your team will be in the mix at the end......
He played like he looks in this image. Super gay.
Gasol dictating the Lakers success like he is supposed to. No surprises here.
