kobe smilin and laughin at the best part...so happy that when he only scored 6 he gets a solid win
-
Now tell me this isn't impressive. Kobe has an off-night, he scores just 6 points, he cares about defence and Gasol steps up scoring 24. Lakers win.
-
Funny thing is before the game, Greg Anthony said the same thing that he might not gel right away. But we both game him the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for making another thread aimed at me Mr. Keep Childish Beefs Out Of The Sports Section.
-
lmao at saying gasol has already "gel'd" after one game. Id be interested to know what your opinions of gasol were before he came to the lakers. im a pau fan so im not hating im just saying. Also at the start of the season randolph "gel'd" with eddie curry over in new york after all the talk of chemistry issues so one game dont mean shit.
-
You're not allowed to talk that way to Laker fans here. They have a thread in which it states Laker fans are not to be attacked.
-
The Lakers winning by 15 when Kobe gets 6 points on 3-13 shooting with Bynum and Ariza out. Good thing I don't have a gun at home. This makes my really sad.

Eddye Curry sucks...I've always liked Gasol. He was on my fantasy team last season and was one of the main reasons I won my league.

This has nothing to do with you...stop trying so hard to ruin threads.

24 points (10-15 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block...Oooohhhhhweeee. 8)
Against the weakest frontcourt in the league. Gotta see how he works out against actual competition before you can have too much to say about it.
-
I don't see how anyone could doubt it. Gasol is a great post player with a high baskeball iq and an excellent passer. He got off to a rough start last night (3-7 fg and 3 quick fouls) but he turned into a beast in the 2nd half (only 1 missed shot). I think we have a great shot at the ship this year but by next year no other team will be mentioned in the same breath as us.

LMAO. Man you act like he's a fucking rookie. Dude is a 7 years pro, has an All-Star appareance and he won the FIBA World Cup MVP Award.
Show him some respect.

^seriously.

Once again a genius misses the point. Its about how he is gelling with the team. He got 24 and 12 against a notoriously weak front court with Kobe only going for 6. Am I saying Gasol is gonna suck with LA? Absolutely not. What I am saying is that its too damn early to say he's gelled with the Lakers after 1 game with good numbers against a terrible front court with Kobe deferring to him all night.
-
he played good. Ive been saying forever that Kobe needed another star on the team if he wanted a chance at a Shaqless title. If they keep this play up for the rest of the season theyll be a legitimate threat in the West. Actually, this years Western Conference playoffs is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable playoffs ever.
-
^Odom was supposed to be that star, but he's just way more built to be a 3rd option, rather than a 2nd option.
-

Odom was supposed to be. Gasol is. The whole team should benefit from Gasols presence in the middle. Plus Bynum wont have to be rushed back.

Yup...Odom is just way too unselfish...Dude rather make the extra pass than look for his own shot. He's talented enough to be that 2nd scorer, but he's just always had that pass first mentality engraved in his brain.

For the fans(/groupies) who thought that one win meant Gasol would "gel" w/the Lakers
A loss to the Hawks (under .500 team)
12 pts (5-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 steals, 1 block.....ZzzZZZ. 8)
-
Kobe Bryant- 11 points (4-16 FG)
Kobe's gunna need to rest that finger. Gasol's line isn't terrible, I'd hardly blame him for this loss. We'll see how things go the rest of the road trip.
-
nice turnover by kobe to lose the game. damn he sucs in the final minutes this year. first he gets owned by lebron and has 11 turnovers and now he chokes against the losing hawks.
-
You're right...Kobe always plays like this. What a shitty player in the clutch.
-
damn i think we can take it all for real.
-
yep, theyve gel'd already lmao. i told you guys it would take a good 20 games to get the lakers going and firing on all cylinders.
-
Gasol >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.... (infinite).. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brown
We improved drastically.
End of discussion.

Yea...cuz we all know Kobe isn't playing with his shooting hand injured. ::)
-
SGV says Gasol probably won't gel right away. NIK calls SGV a hater and says he ruins threads. Then NIK makes a thread for all hate. NIK then makes a thread referencing the "haters (read: SGV)" who thought Gasol probably would not gel right away. But of course, he's not spreading hate. He's not aiming this thread at SGV its just a coincidence.
Kobe may be injured, but now with Gasol that should not be an excuse. That is a solid 2nd option with leadership skills, plus Fish running the point and "best bench" in the league, theres no more room for excuses.
-
There are no excuses...Like I said, Gasol is already in tune with the offense and we'll see how things go the rest of the road trip. Stop exciting yourself... this thread is about Gasol, not about you.
-
You're right...Kobe always plays like this. What a shitty player in the clutch.
hes no Robert Horry.

LMAO.
My man Horry is God, but c'mon. Kobe has ALWAYS took the Lakers over his shoulders in all the 4th quarters of the Play Offs, even in the Shaq-era. And everybody knows it.
-
LOL. Everyone knows who Mr. 4th Quarter of the NBA is.

30 points (12-15 FG, 6-8 FT), 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. 8)

Gasol is a very skilled player with a very high B-Ball IQ .. he only played 3 games with us and it's very promising .. if you know something about the triangle offense, you are aware its much more complicated to understand for the backcourt and SF position than for the post players ...
-
26 points (9-11 FG, 8-12 FT), 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks. 8)

19 points (9-11 FG), 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks.
Should we close this thread?
