I like Gasol, but come on, blowing two games and showing up for one of them doesn't redeem anyone Gasol included. The good does not wash away the bad.

Hell no I’ll take 3-4 more of these type games this series before any apologizing

For what? Sure he had a decent game tonight, but you're telling me he didnt' **** the bed game 2? The criticism at the time was well deserved.

Best player on the floor tonight. Gasol was an absolute monster defensively, and hit some clutch shots to keep the defense honest and the floor spaced for Siakam and Kawhi. He was truly outstanding.

He still passed up on some very good shots that I want him to take but tonight was a step in the right direction

We definitely don't win this without him, but he had even more opportunities to look for his. He needs to be more selfish.

He had a really good 1st quarter. Hopefully he can show up for 2 games in a row. It'll be much more difficult once Bud gets into Lopez about not bailing him out with his stupid closeouts.
Raps need him to be big, obviously.

Not to mention how stellar he was on defence. Moved his feet well, excellent positioning, all while playing heavy minutes

Big game from Gasol tonight to bounce back fro. two really bad ones. Gotta give credit where it's due, but it can't be a one time thing. Despite the minutes logged tonight, he's too important to be inconsistent and we need him to play well again on Tuesday to help us tie up the series.

Expecting people to acknowledge a good Gasol game is pointless

If the raptors win this series, it's going to be because of their defense and he is the key.

I am not going to apologize for calling him terrible in game 2... he was beyond useless on both ends.
I am also fine fine with the way he played in the playoffs up to that game, and of course fine with tonight.
