No one compared him to Drew right? They're just saying that he's a serviceable center that would start for most teams in the league and you have to agree with that.
If Noah can work on his jumper he'd be a tough guard alongside a good low post PF/C.
Go look at the Around the nba thread. This was a topic as late as this week.
I believe the discussion was centered around Bynum for Noah and Rose. Derrick Rose is the deal breaker there. Noah is just added depth.

*on Noah from a bulls POV. he has been insanely good this year. for what his role is on this team, he has done it incredibly well, every night, and against every level of competition (lakers to kings to cavaliers). he has added post moves to his offensive skills set, he just didnt use them at all tonight. he added a semi jump hook shot and the worst jump shot in the NBA (the tornado). most his points are just some huge one handed slams tho. if he keeps this up he will be one of the better centers in the league.

uhm... I dont think anyone called him "the man" or even implied it... He's the 3rd best player on a lower seeded playoff team... He's a good defender and rebounder, great hustle player... He's not an All-Star, but he's not garbage. There is some in-between ya know

that said, would you do Hinrich for Farmar/Morrison?
alucryts wrote:he did. im not saying he has gasol or howard moves by any stretch of the imagination, but his post moves include slams and semi jump hook shot. I saw some stat wear his ppg doubled from last year i believe. tonight you barely saw either hook or slam really because your frontcourt is too good
I know what you were getting at, that's why I mentioned Pau's ability in the Tri. When you say "he's more important than Kobe", it correlates to what I posted. If we're talking about how the offense functions, then yes it has more fluidity with Pau than it has with Kobe.dcash4 wrote:DEEP3CL wrote:Simply put the Triangle was built for bigs in the first place. Pau's ability to pass more creatively than Drew is why it's more potent. Example Fish looked some what decent tonight, because the defense has to sag on Pau a little tighter than they do Drew. Yes Drew will get doubled but Pau sees like a double/zone around him.dcash4 wrote:

i don't think there's any doubt pau helps the offense run better than bynum. that wasn't my assertion.

I expect him to play 30-35 minutes. If you suit up and play...you better be ready to handle the load.

a slam eh? thats quite a post move. i wonder how many other big men can pull of a "slam"
No you came here to whine like a girl.back_like_crack wrote:gasol didnt have to come back vs my team. it never fails that a big time player always makes his return on us. i hated the lakers before this game and really do now. it wouldve been a good game if he hadnt kept the tradition alive to return against my bulls. just came here to say we will be ready next time. our full team should be back and rose should be 100% i just hate the lakers. only team i hate more is the knicks.
