Let the passive aggressive pity party for Pau begin. That expression on his face at the end last night will be forever tattooed in my psyche.

From what I heard Pau looked bad last night.

Nope Pau did not have a good game last night. However he was more aggressive than he ever was the past 3 years here even when he had the green light to go to the post and take it to the basket.

Him settling for jumpers 9 out of 10 times even in the open lane while here, but sealing people off calling for it in the post and always driving to the basket and drawing fouls in Chicago just shows how much he was phoning it in while here his past few years and all the excuses he gave on 'not knowing when to roll or when to take over a game' was just that, excuses and bull.

Hope he enjoys his time in Chicago when they turn on him like they did Boozer after '20/11' Pau after the first 2 months of the season becomes '15/9 gets sat in crucial moments because of his defense and Thibs isn't gonna stand for that' Pau.

Even so, glad to see him enjoying himself again.

I watched Cavs/Chi last night, and Pau actually looked pretty good
quite a few defensive stops, 6 blocks, 9 rebs...several tough baskets in traffic or under pressure. The only real negative was he missed a few jumpers and drove his % down, scoring 15 on 18 shots.
he definitely was out-quicked when Cavs went small though...no surprise there, though.
Overall, he looked pretty good.

Pau was a great talent. When he's mentally dialed in he's great. But he seems to tune out a lot in the game. He did it here and he'll do it there. He's reveling in the new environment now, but chances are he'll shrink again, like he did here. Plus he's past his prime. The 'poke' the CP3 Trade, further trade talks, they all got to him and affected his game. He would still be a Laker now if he manned up and played hard.

In a way he's like Dwight, mentally soft, except with a better attitude.

I wish I could say I hope he does great in Chicago but I don't give a sh** about the bulls and he's a bull now. Lakers first for me.

Waiting for Voices to poo poo all over this thread. He hates him some Gasol. And I love reading his rants.

As a Laker fan, it's sad to see him performing so well on a different team, and disappointed we weren't able to uitlise him as an asset, but I know that him not coming back was for the best for him and the Lakers in the end.

As a Basketball fan I just love seeing him rejuvenated. He's still old, and not quite what he once was, but he's a fantastic addition to the Bulls, and a great fit.

Pau on pace to score over 35pts..... the Lakers need to explain why our replacement for him is Carlos Loozer....

Moved on long ago,, Could care less about any player not balling for the Lakers.

Thank God he picked Bulls over the Spurs. Big man rotation of TD, Splitter, Diaw and Gasol would've been GG for the league.

Let's be honest. This current rebuild was totally manufactured by an incompetent FO. After making a nice move to bring in Howard we were set for a smooth transition minus the total rebuild. If the right coach had been hired, we would be in year three of a Kobe, Gasol, and Howard big 3 and probably would have won at least one title. We had two of the best big men in the league and also Kobe. Jim sent this team into a long rebuiling process when it didn't have to happen.

I hope Gasol meets Howard in the NBA finals. And I hope Jim Buss enjoys it.
