Pau

So happy he's a Laker! Best PF we've had since... Iguess Bob McAdoo? lol! (don't even say Karl Malone)
J-Crit

Hope he eventually gets a starting job in Memphis and avg.15-20ppg...

Kwame

^ why not Karl Malone?

 

[ogjumpman]

lol at kobe in the post game interview taking a shot a kwame when talking about pau
He said something like "pau is a big addition to the team. He's a great scorer, passer, and has goodhands"

did anyone else catch it?

 

[dyyhard]

Good to see Steve Smith come out to the game to see his boy Farmar.

 

[coretraining85]

I didn't expect Pau to have a good game.

Another sweet win for the Lakers.

 

[royalty d]

man what a great pick up gasol was im excited i feel like we have a really good chance this year with such a deep bench and bynum coming back...

 

[refuse2lose24]

Pau Gasol is going to make the lakers a favorite.

I missed the second half... when Pau did his 18 pnts.

true, true.

Still think he's one of the greats, even if it was for only a year with LA.

 

[ghettokrnxxx]

Here is HD highlight

Wow i missed the game but watching this highlight. damn i got goosebumps, so proud to be lakers !

 

[the yes guy]

Did anyone else catch Walton telling Nachbar to "just play basketball", or something similar to that? It was after one of the flops.

 

[LOLOMGWTFBBQ]

Been waiting for the highlights. Thanks...

 

[badboyf0life420]

did anyone else notice for the first time ever in Phil Jacksons Coaching career. well not really first time.. but actually stood up and smiled after thatassist Kobe gave Pau !

 

[la laker devotee]

Great game, didn't expect Pau to have such a big difference I mean 24 & 12 is amazing. Also that Kobe can score 6pts and still win by 15, DAMN!

 

[the kobe show]

^^yeah i noticed i was surprised. its great to see them have fun together out there.. lets keep it up!!

 

[rock4light]

I'm as giddy is a hoochie getting ready to get it. I know it's the Nets, but we look

 

[japs24]

Lakers are damn scary man.. Pau seems like he's been playing with them since november..

ummm.. They are also playing without Ariza and that 20 year old kid..

Phil had that Echhhk faace

that play was nasty

man, even tho gasol had a slow start, dude went to work in the last quarter.

the lakers will be ballin outta control... knock on wood

 

[coretraining85]

So far we are 3-1 on the road. It could have been easliy 4-0 but I'll take our current road record. It is just unbelievable on how the Laker FO managed toadd good-great team additions from D-Fish, Ariza, Pau and holding on to Adrew Bynum. Mitch must be on the "how'd you like me now?" mood. Moreimportantly the Lakers are playing good basketball.

 

[b1lly hoyle]

It's just hilarious how there's SO MUCH more skill in Gasol than Kwame.

The energy and level of joy from the players you could just feel throughout the game too. The bench was up rooting everyone on and guys were high fiving allover.

Kobe was visibly excited whenever Gasol caught an entry pass and swooped to the rim for a layup.

Kwame would stall...pass it back...and Kobe would launchan end-of-shot clock jumper.

I thought he was overly soft at times on the Grizz when I used to watch all their games in the JWill era...but Gasol has improved since then a ton with hisspot up shot and also finding ways to the rim given he's not the most physical player.

This team can be VERY good once Bynum is back...and it's encouraging that Radmanovich was getting more involved too...they'll need his shooting.

Gotta say...Jordan Farmar has been playing great too, his shot is money on pull-ups and it obviously made Critt expendable.

Good team ahead indeed.
