it's amazing how well they have played since Kwame is off the Team, turnovers are down too!

Can't wait to see when Pau laces them up!

Oh, and when I was on my way to the airport listening, Michael Thompson said he felt Ronny was, and told him he is the best single low post defender in the league right now.

Not sure if that's completely true but he's well up there and makes one more less reason to miss Kwame (like any were needed)

it helps when you play two teams that didn't play a lick of defense.

Sorry, you can't rain on our Kwame-is-finally-gone parade. :rofl:

Fellow laker fans, I had the opportunity to attend this game and this being my first time seeing kobe in person was the best part. There were more laker fans that wizard fans there and multiple "MVP" chants that the home team fans tried to BOO out. Kobe busted azz from jump and things were never in doubt.

I got the chance to watch pau work out with rambis and he looked great in th P & G. I noticed that gasol seemed extremely coachable and interested in taking in what rambis was showing him. He will fit in nicely alonw with the multiple jump shooters we have.

It also dosent hurt that Vlade seems to have reg-ained his touch from the outside along with sasha. Every 3 that was taken seemed to be good.

Ronny hustled all night and I found out that he and Etan have a great bond from their surgery experiences.

Odom looked comfortable out there knowing the pressure release sitting on the bench awaiting to play, so like others have said if he can refocus on defense and work on his shot ( while taking a reasonable contract this offseason) he may stick along for the ride.

Kobe looks excited and was able to get alot of rest which is I think the biggest asset of having Pau added. When Drew gets back........
