I think Pau's trying to play pacifier between Dwight and Kobe. I think he's trying to focus on making Dwight and himself work and in the process he becomes almost useless. The only time he plays well is when he plays like he don't give a ****. Like he did when he was sure we were going to trade him.

I think Pau knows how to make it work with Dwight and Kobe, but it requires all 3 of them being on the same page and they haven't played enough together in MDA's system to figure it out. Either that or Pau's the only one who really cares if they all work together.

I don't think we're as formidable a team with Pau coming off the bench, but this season is too far gone for us to try to figure out Pau;s role. Kobe and Dwight were just getting into a rhythm...
I think it's time to bring him off the bench.

That's not a bad idea about him coming off the bench because as you stated he becomes almost usless being the go between and we all know if he starts dominating in the post Dwight will begin to cry about touches.

Season is very short at this point so hopefully Pau will play like he's getting traded again. That Pau is dominate.

Keep in mind Pau might have seemed a little passive because he just came back (early) from injury. It will take some time for him to get back in shape and feel comfortable with his new foot.

Well in that case,he better man up and play his ass off because he ain't returning next year if he sucks for the third year in a row in the playoffs

He's a 20 mil expiring now,I can bet my house he's gonna be traded or amnestied if he's sucking balls again

Surprised I had to go back & find this one. Pau has made an impact after getting his basketball legs under him. I really wish we were at full strength & healthy going in so we could really see what we're working with.
