Finally watched the highlights and two things impressed me:
1. The passing between the Gasol brothers is superb, similar to the 2 man game Odom and Pau with one of them posting up and the other cutting through.
2. Pau's definitely added a legit perimeter shot and he's been draining 3s, which might not happen in the NBA but he surely will add more range to spread the floor if he has to play with another center.

Since when did Pau become a legit 3 Point shooter. Gawd I was so giddy when I saw that... There was a small puddle... Most awesome!

He must've been jealous of Dirk's 3pt shot
Seriously, Pau Gasol always had a nice midrange shot, but his long/3pt shot should be an interesting way of stretching defenses. Didn't Pau have one at the end of quarter against the Mavs, though?
I hope Bynum was watching the Gasol Bros. cooperation, and Kobe JC Navarro's...
