Latest on Marc Gasol -- "absolute steal for the Lakers"

Gasol on the other hand looks like an absolute steal for the Lakers, having drafted him in the late second round this past June. His skill level is looking better and better these days, knocking down a 3-pointer calmly, hitting a pretty turnaround jumper, and doing a terrific job moving off the ball and creating space for his post-mate Vroman to operate. He’s a team player who really knows how to pass the ball and is looking much more comfortable in his own skin than we ever remembered him. He also utilized his size very nicely both on the glass and inside the paint, making his presence felt here and altering quite a few Charleroi shots. In short, we’re talking about an absolute stud at this level. It’s still not 100% clear that he’s athletic enough to play substantial minutes in today’s NBA, especially early on, but to land a player this big with this kind of skill level and basketball IQ is an absolute coup.

^^Yup...a lot of us saw it coming. After all, he IS Pau Gasol's brother with more size.

Man this is the Lamar Odom I wanna see every night! His shot isn't falling but atleast he's actually taking it. He needs to stay in this attack mode. He attempted more shots at halftime than anybody else on either team.

^ He needs to D up on Carmelo Anthony though...

What a 2nd quarter comeback... I was ready to throw shoes at the TV during the 1st..

Got damn 127 points in regulation!

Actually whats more amazing is this...

Kobe in 29:51
24 Points (10-19 FG), 6 Rebounds, 7 Assists, 1 Steal, 2 Turnovers

Bynum in 26:38
12 Points (5-8 FG), 13 Rebounds, 1 Block

^ that kind of production in under 30 minutes a piece is insane.

Oh and props to Sasha. Melo got dirty so Sasha took it out on his team.

I was getting worried when the Nuggets got within 6, but then the Lakers took over and delivered an ass-whoopin... and the fans get FREE TACOS!

[Doggystylin]

damn, lakers fucked the nuggets....damn l.a. shitted on denver

[Vegasmac25]

We played pretty well that second half.Our bench was on point tonight Farmer,Sasha,n Luke they all did a hell of a job.This was a huge win for LA right before they get on the road vs Utah.

Denver got SMASHED.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

This team is starting to look more like the L.A. Lakers, and not the L.A. Kobes. The Nuggets aren't that good, but the Laker bench showed that this team can hang with anyone.

He was just being a dick about the lakers and wouldn't say anything positive about them and said that nothing has changed about the lakers and they're still a seventh to eigth playoff seed team who's going to get eliminated in the first round.
