It makes sense to me.

Pau - "Hey little brother - do you want to play ball with me?"

Marc - "Yes please Pau"

Pau - "OK, but I start with the ball and keep it until I lose possession"

Pau become the better O, Marc the better D......lol

If Marc Gasol is the defensive player of the year, we should go ahead and give Rik Smits a few.
Marc Gasol is aided by having Conley and Allen, two terrific ball hawks. I really think Tim Duncan deserved it this year.
