Ah how good it is to be the best. You lose one road game in Utah and the vultures get their 15 mins.
Fare I got your post the first time brah, no need to quote me to call me out on my post.
Your huffing and puffing at me about this article like I wrote the dam thing brah.
If your calling me out because I agreed with what he wrote and you would like to hear why then just ask brah........ no need to get all emotional over it. And no I didnt base my opinion on one game, if anything I voiced my concern about this teams heart and dedication since game one when he was out with an injury and it was very obvious how hard it was for us to beat teams without Gasol in the lineup, but once he returned we started floating again.
Even though he was off by saying that Kobe isnt important in the locker room, he still said
'Bryant’s skill and all-around brilliance is beyond reproach'
The things I agreed with him is.
His PER average has never dipped below 20
Gasol is more critical to the Lakers ability to run the Triangle to its full potential than Bryant because he does not need to hold and dribble the ball to dominate the game.
He is a big man who can break his defender off the dribble.
With his passing skills and ability to put the ball on the floor, Gasol is the ideal mid-post to plug into Tex Winter’s Trinagle offense – a system that demands its posts be able to operate from both high and low positions and be unselfish as the offense’s central hub.
So yes I think Pau is the KEY to the Lakers success and he is ONE of the many reasons that we have done very well since he has arrived in LA.
Do I think he is the best player in a Lakers uniform, NO. Do I think without him we can win another chip, NO.
Is that good enough for you brah.
