Raptors
Wizards

Yea he did, he was also dropping 25 and 18 earlier too. I mean you going to say he's fatigued then say he's fatigued, don't act like Pau is playing like garbage and Dwight is playing great, he's not playing well either.
I'm just saying i'm probably the last Pau supporter here, but maybe this humbling of not playing the 4th will wake him up, maybe not.
All I know Dwight has scored 7 points in back to back games and has played a huge amount of minutes. He should be doing better

Dwight is still rounding into form due to injury. Pau has zero excuse. He has been doing this going on 3 years now with no injuries. He gets worked over by EVERYBODY he goes up against. The Lakers are also implementing a new offense so growing pains are to be expected. What I do not expect is to watch Pau repeatedly get blown by or miss assignments. He can't post or hit a jumper with any kind of regularity. In short, he's garbage.

Calling it now, if this continue, Dwight is leaving. Since Pringles been coach, he's hardly getting shots.

I know Pau played like a bum but is trading him really the best thing to do right now? I mean, Nash isn't even back. We have a new coach. A new system to learn. Why don't we just work our team first before getting rid of somebody? Lineup tweaks might help, if ever Pau needs to go off the bench, why not? We haven't even seen this team with a healthy dwight and nash. I can go on and on on what ifs, but seriously, trading Pau isn't the solution right now.

Just give them time guys, a championship team isn't made overnight.

Question: What did we say Game 12 of Last Season (arbitrary number) ? Pau has to learn to play with Bynum... Did that ever happen? Answer is no.

He blamed trade talk. When it was clear he wasn't getting traded last season. He never picked up for more than a game at a time.

This year when it was clear Pau wasn't going to get traded because we just got Nash and refused to part with him for Dwight... Now what? He's gotta learn it. How long do we wait? A full year for him to "get it together"?

Good Game man.

Didn't watch the game b/c I was at work. Can someone tell me why we're going to lose this game?

Anyone?

We got down big due to turnovers and Pau. Kobe shot bad. Dwight wasn't there.

We came back in the second. Then MDA brought in Kobe (too early) and Pau (way too early) and lost most of our comeback.

Tried to play catch up. Every time we got close. Defense collapse for a couple possessions and offense got flat.

 

[kingjaffejo]

Oh now people want Pau gone when a few days ago I told yall what Pau was about

 

[elmac]

Anyone?

Pau sucks a**

Morris is way to erratic

Refs called a horribly slanted game

Laker started the game with zero urgency

Good things I saw

Both Meeks and Jamsion played ball tonight

Duhon is playing really well

But Pau is the best complimentary big for Dwight IMO. If only he can toughen up and be more aggressive, it'll be like the 09 pau. I say, let's just wait until Nash returns and see how everything shape up

 

[pmatic]

Anyone?

Marc Gasol and Z-Bo kicked ***...In relation Dwight and Pau were lackluster again.
Gay outplayed MWP.
Conley did whatever he wanted.
Tony Allen played a smart game on both ends of the floor.

@MedinaLakersNBA Why D'Antoni sat Gasol end of the game: "I was thinking I'd like to win this game."

 

[wisepharoah]

This team is legitimately a disaster right now. It's actually really funny to watch. It has nothing to do with the coaching it's clearly the roster guys sorry to bust your bubble but the whole two seven footers thing is not an advantage it's actually a disadvantage due to lack of mobility and speed. I know it's extremely early but I promise you that this team in it's current configuration WILL NOT win a championship. There just isn't any fire outside of Kobe. Pau most go NOW!!!!!

That's why I actually like MDA. He has fire, and says what he means.

No he's not the best compliment to Howard. He's lazy, slow, jumpers erratic and he doesn't play a lick of defense. I'd rather have Ryan Anderson than dude. We need a energetic scrapper who can either consistently make shots and stretch the floor or a athlete big who can make a shot when open and play some tough defense.

No he's not 09 Pau, he'll never be 09 Pau. Let's just let go of that ship already.

Sure he'll have games..

But it will never be 4 or 5 in a row. That is great especially from an older guy.... But good one/ bad one.. Or 2 good/ 1 bad is not worth $19 mil. Or even half that.

 

[Coupé It]

Do 35% of Laker fans really think they're going to win 60+ games?

 

[pmatic]

It's tough to make any type of assessment on the Lakers without seeing Nash play first. He's the guy that will piece together the entire team. The last thing the Lakers needs right now is to trade Pau.

 

[knightngale]

Kobe played bad today. Bad defense and was forcing a lot of stuff there.

Gasol does not want to be there. He just quit on the team but this has been happening for 3 seasons now. I think the main reason Dwight is struggling is cause of Gasol. His man does not even have to worry about him anymore on either end.

This is not how Dwight usually plays but it is how Gasol does.

Morris does some good stuff and then just loses his head.

Jamison should start now since he provides better offense and spacing than Gasol as well as better defense .

I wanna see a go to line up with Meeks,Kobe,Metta,Jamison, and Howard. I think that would provide enough spacing and they would not be losing much on defense
with Morris and Gasol on the bench.

Even though the Lakers have lost, there have been some positives with Jamison andMeeks. Gasol getting benched was great as well. No one has disrespected him like that since Phil Slapped him.

You're in denial if you think Pau doesn't need to go. Dwight needs the floor spaced in order for him to be effective. Pau is clogging everything up but that's not even the most egregious thing he causes. His notion of staying in front of his man and rotating is atrocious. If Dwight steps one foot outside of the pant to help, it's a guaranteed 2 points for the opposition.

Thank you

I just want a backup SF. And a starting PF. That's all.

I said right now. If the brain trusts think Pau doesn't fit in two months, fine. But right now, with all the adjustments needed to be made and Nash out, it would be short sighted in my eyes.

If we want to make a serious run at things this year, he needs to go NOW.

So is Pau the ONLY reason we're losing? get that **** out of here. He's not the only reason we lost 7 games. PLEASE, just wait till Nash comes back before saying that.
