I dont think Gasol is more important to the Lakers than Kobe is, but it does tell you something when Gasol draws more double teams than Kobe does. Right now, if I were the Suns (and the Celtics in the next series), I'd rather let Kobe shoot a contested jumper then let Gasol have the ball in the post.

Sure he might have a bad shooting game, but he Suns pace will give him a lot more opportunities to score than he usually has. They ONLY way they can stop him from getting 30+ points a game is to outright double team him and get the ball out of his hands. If Hill/Dudley/JRich are the only ones guarding him, then it's curtains for the Suns. He will go off EVERY game. You do realize that he's gone 6 straight games of 30+ points in the playoffs right, dude is on a roll right now.Originally Posted by 5am6oody72

He was really quiet last night or either rambling about a lot of stuff that didn't make any sense.
I waswhen Inside the NBA came on and the 1st thing Kenny says "He's slowed down though" Chuck was looking like. He's been so blatantly wrong this postseason it's not even funny. I wouldn't be surprised if KB averaged 35-40 points for the duration of this series, having old man Hill damn near breaking his ankles isn't going to stop him.
I'll bet that before this series is over there will be at least one game where Hill frustrates Kobe defensively and he has a bad shooting night. Do you really think he's gonna be hitting it from the outside the whole series like he did in game 1?
Hey bro...
just go home!
