Pau Gasol to sit INDEFINITLY to rest knees :flabbynsick: + :fif:

[William Bassington]

I Saw That Game Though, Pull Up The Game Thread And Im In There, You Wanna Tell Me I Didnt Watch It?

The Lakers Have No PGs, A Disgusting Bench, A Dumb Coach, An Ailing Center, And Metta World Peace

How Bout Working On That? It Seems Trading Metta And Some Bench Guys Would Be A Smarter Move

Probably The ONLY Positives The Lakers Have Going For Them Are Pau And Kobe

Pau is a positive..you must have not watched a single Laker game this season..there's been nothing encouraging about his play this year...absolutely nothing..sure he has nice touch and skills for a 7ft, but he hasnt really showcased any of that this year...

the real positives the Lakers have is the fact that an unhealthy Dwight is still the best center in the game and a superstar that has a knack for winning titles

This Pringles hiring is going to prove disastrous....

Funny thing is as critical as we were of Mike Brown, this team still ain't shyt with him gone

I Think You Guys Are Being Over Dramatic Calling Pau Trash, If Lakers Fans Wanna Move On From Him That's Fine, But If You Can Find A Way To Get Something Back For Metta And Some Bench Guys, While Still Keeping Pau, Dwight, Kobe, Nash Then I Say Thats Better Then Just Straight Up Trading Pau For A Guy Like Josh Smith

AKA "i'm chillin until you fukks trade me"

That's what it sounds like to me. Why Kobe thought that he would motivate Gasol by publicly embarrassing him is beyond me.

This reminds me of when dantoni benched marbury and Nate Robinson indefinitely.

Don't worry lakers fans it will only get worse with Dantoni. How long you think Kobe can play 40+ minutes before he knees start to bother him again. 2 years ago it was bone on bone. You think that blood spinning treatment gonna last forever? . Mark my words this is gonna end horribly

I remember when nate finally did play, he had the best game of his career.

'antoni is a fukkboy.

You know why?...cause Kobe and Dwight fukkin compete

Nobody on the team is more competitive than Kobe, no one works harder in and out of games...so what he misses or forces a shot, he gon be in the gym the next day correcting hisself...Kobe is a winner, plain and simple...he's willing to do whatever it takes to win..if he feels he needs to shoot on 4 dudes, thats what he'll do..

as for Dwight, yea he sucks at free-throws, but atleast he out there attempting to block every shot and boom it...he looks to assert hisself at tall times during the game...same with Kobe

Pau doesnt even fukkin compete half the time...I dont fault him for shooting like shyt, he is shooting alot more outside J's...but why not even attempt to block a shot?...why not attempt to box-out?..your 7 foot...he playing soft as fukk, getting dominated in the post and blown by on the perimeter

I dont feel like anyone is scapegoating Pau, they just keepin it real...the fact that Kobe is calling him out now, supports this...Kobe is Pau's biggest supporter, to hear him call out Pau is very telling...shyt the whole fanbase been shytting on Pau for the last 2-3 years...and now someone's scapegoating Pau

he's scapegoating his damn self with his passive play

Ain't that nikka Pau playing hurt though? You think dude is just out there not giving a fukk? I'm sure he is giving it his all but he is being scapegoated. Kobe started the narrative last year in the playoffs now everyone is just following suit.

Working on a trade? Sitting him so he wont get hurt?

Pau probably shouldn't be playing, you don't become so inefficient so fast..

 

[HARLEM AL]

Pau ain't garbage. Your coach is fukking terrible.

This is Pringles at his finest.

If you think Pau is a positive then I know you don't watch games! Bilz fukking hates the Lakers and hates Kobe even more and I guarantee you he will tell you that Pau is not playing well and certainly isn't a "positive" right now.

Pau is definitely not a force right now. He is being used strangely by the Lakers and on top of that, his confidence seems completely shot right now. He's missing wide open shots, fumbling easy passes, and basically just seems nervous whenever he has the ball out there.

He is really no longer featured in the post and he's taking 5 shots a game from the 16-23 foot range, more than double his career average. To contrast, Kobe's bread and butter is the 16-23 foot fadeaway and he is only shooting 4 of them a game this year (about half his career average). Not much of a surprise that their percentages are going in opposite directions. Still, Pau is 7 feet tall and is more versatile than just about anyone his size. His 42% fg% is awful for a big man but it's passable for a shooting guard, which is essentially what he is these days.

I think the whole reason people tend to back Pau in a lot of these arguments is that he is instantly scapegoated for anything that goes wrong with the Lakers even though he wasn't the one getting all of the credit when things were going well. Also, during that 2011 playoffs, everyone ripped Pau for being 7 points off his average but no one seemed to notice that Kobe was ALSO 7 points off his average. Then in the 2012 playoffs, Pau was down again but Kobe was the one that was invisible late in games and almost singlehandedly blew a few very winnable games down the stretch but again, all eyes on Pau.

He played harder in Spain than he has played in any game this season

Thank you . Kobe seems to be completely bulletproof while Pau gets shyt on constantly. How many rings Kobe won when shaq left ? Before Pau came none
