What else is there to say that hasn't been said already?
I'm going to miss Kobe when he retires. Dude is just on another level. 48 mins on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, and he puts up 47 pts on 14/27 shooting and 18/18 from FT line, not to mention countless steals and blocks? Just :x

Any credit giving to D'antoni for putting Pau in a position to win, should be discredited by the idea of him not doing this months ago.
Dwight should get all his points of put backs and passes from Pau, throw in a few post ups for Dwight that's fine, but he's not great yet in the post.
Pau, on the other hand just kills it down there, especially if someone is weaker than him.
If we get this Pau, it would be ridiculous to trade him, since we wont get anything in return close to his value.
However, he needs to put a few more games together like this just for consistency reasons

The thing i hate about Pau is that he's too passive. This dude for some reason still decide to pass the ball out when he got 6'5 guard on him. Michael Thompson and John Ireland just loses it every time Pau does that in the low block.

I am not going to praise Pau unless the Lakers make the playoffs and he does something there as well. Lakers would not be in this situation if he had not played like trash all year.

The Jazz only need 1 W to lock up that 8th seed.
The Lakers will drop the ball their last 3 games.
0-3. Take that to the bank.
Warriors. Too young. Too fast. Can shoot lights out.
Spurs. Dont need to say anything. They're the Spurs. Best franchise post-Jordan.
Rockets. Same reason as Warriors.
Goin fishin'.

They're not winning the title
Right, they won't even win a first round series. If we had a fully healthy Kobe, Dwight, Pau, and Nash + athletic complimentary players who could defend then we would maybe be contenders. But this team is just too old and slow in today's NBA to be elite. We have a bunch of guys who are great individually and can still be main pieces on contenders, but having them all on the floor at the same time the lack of team speed/defense is too much to overcome.
Kobe, Nash (and Blake as a backup), and Pau are all liabilities on D. So are Jamison and Leeks. Dwight is not 100% and even so couldn't compensate for the others' poor D. I really wish we had kept Matt Barnes.

It would have been nice to keep Barnes on this team strictly for defense. Key word, Defense.

Hey, these Kobe-to-Pau-to-Dwight and Kobe-to-Dwight and Pau-to-Dwight things are legit.
Keep teams honest at the rm, opening it up for Blake and Earl and Nash (if we see him again this season) and Jamison and Kobe outside.
Like I've said a few times, not that this seasonis a wash and over already, but championship possibilities have obviously looked bleak for awhile now.. and looking at next season, we keep all these pieces...
Still don't know where I stand on Mike D and Pau, though. Pretty sure I'm more anti-MD than I am anti-Pau. Yes, I'm mentally done with Pau and I think he's mentally done... has been ever since the Mavs 2011... but MD has literally proven NOTHING before us, and NOTHING this season. AT least... at LEAST Pau is a 3 time Finalist and 2 time champion.
MD: "I got... I got nothing."
I believe the problem w/ Pau is not being used correctly more than I believe he's done.

Last night, watching Pau's post game interview with Ireland in the lockerroom, dude has that smug, lemme pat chris paul on the head, type swagger again.
I feel like Pau is the kind of guy who gets confidence when he sees his teammates benefit from his effort, earlier in the season he was trying to make his teammates happy by sacrificing his happiness. Now he's found a way to make his teammates happy while feeling like an important piece on the floor.
Ya'll gotta know Pau LOVES these Pau to Dwight plays. He's got that soccer mentality.

The Kobe-Pau-Dwight trio is GREAT to watch when they're all on the same page.

I'm sure that Pau's recent play has more to do with the fact that he's healthy and that Dwight is no longer trying to be the offensive centerpiece of this team.
