Pau opened with a 36 pt performance in his first laker playoff game too. He averaged 22.3 pts that series. Also, averaged
16 9 08'
18 10 09'
19 11 10'
Overall through the laker runs. That's legit.

One?
He averaged 18 9 in 09 and 18 11 in 10 finals. He had two legitimately bad games in both. We don't win either of those without pau, especially 10 where he got robbed of a co mvp
EDIT: Actually one bad game in 09.
They're really solid numbers.
But i think the objection is to the phrase, god like.
Those are basically his career average or season average. Very Good, with out being absurd.
And you're right, the lakers don't win with out him. Doesn't change the above.

His scoring didn't drop but fg% increased and he stepped up his rebounding and his defense over the playoffs...that's my definition of stepping up for a player like pau. Ofcourse if you compare him to the kobe's, shaq's and lebron's of the world then those numbers are pretty meh. He isn't a volume scorer especially with a guy like kobe on the team.
Stop saying he isn't a volume scorer when he isn't a prolific scorer. You're confusing the two. Pau Gasol has never shown an ability, even in Memphis, to score above 23-24 ppg. His efficiency is great and all, but there's no reason to believe he could ever score 25-30 a game on decent efficiency with or without Kobe on his team because he's never done it. There's a difference between a 20 ppg scorer and a 30 ppg scorer, it's not just "more shots"
And he wasn't co-mvp that series. He got badly outplayed by Garnett in at least a couple games including game 7. Go back and look at the numbers - Garnett was the best Celtic in that game by a large margin and he dropped most of that on Pau. In game 7 Pau shot something like 37% from the field, which, compared to his regular average of 55-58% is barely better than the drop-off Kobe had in that game going from 45-25% .
The dude was good and all, but 18-9 and 18-11 aren't Finals MVP numbers. They've never been Finals MVP numbers. Unless those are 11 apg...and even then, that would make him the worst performing finals MVP in the history of the award.
He played terrible in two games. Kobe averaged 28 at a .405fg per with a commanding .295 game 7. The very definition of chucking.Lets not get our panties in a twist over pau's final game.
Yea Kobe had a really bad shooting game 7. But so did Pau and you're ignoring this. Kobe and Pau both grabbed a ton of rebounds and both made free throws in the 4th quarter.
Games 1-6, Kobe was much better. Pau was good, and I'm really glad he was a Laker, but there was all this "Pau's the best big man in the game" nonsense going on back then when he was routinely being outplayed by KG, Timmy, Dirk, and usually even Bosh.
James Worthy won Finals MVP one year over Magic because he had a 37 point Game 7. That's what you need to win Finals MVP when you haven't been the best player on your team through 6 games. Not 19 points on 37% shooting.

i dunno about that one, he is taking forearm shiver to his spine on a blatant moving screen. I dont mind the exaggeration there, he had no idea that shit was coming, and it wasnt a clean play by Chandler.
Miami is the fucking worst. Dude knows enough about it he can flop with specific parts of his body. More nuanced than the less refined full body flail. Some great technique on this head and neck jerk.
Almost every NBA player has flopped before. Whatever. Just let it go 'Bron.

The ref for tonights Heat v Bulls game is Danny Crawford. I wonder if Boozer is going to punch him in the nads again

I'm really hoping that it leads to more than just the 12 episode mini-series. Because I really loved 24. Even when it was bad.
Even when it was bad, it was still an event and better than most TV out there.
But when it was at its peak? It was amazing.
Whoa, 24 is back? That's pretty sweet. Not sure what they'll do with the story line but I always looked forward to see how they would explain how things would happen.
12 hours seems weird though.

That's how long it feels like it takes to get through the first two mini villains before we find out who the real baddie is did this really need spoilers

Yeah, the first four seasons are phenomenal. Even when Kim is being kidnapped or attacked by mountain lions.
I really liked season 8, too. So I have a lot of hope for this new run.

Season 3 is the Metal Gear Solid 2 of 24, right down to not knowing where the fuck Snakes loyalties are.
3> 5 > 1 > 2 > Stop watching
4 is basically a comedy with how many plan b's and escape setups the villain had.

Season 7 is pretty much high comedy.

anyone ever play hoops and get tired when scrub kids wanna come up and interrupt you for a game when they can't even shoot or dribble properly
I got so sick of little kids interrupting my 1 on 1's or 21s so when this 10 year old came up I said you know what fuck it lets run
We played 1 on 1 and he could barely dribble but I went 110%, blocked the shit out of his shot, played hard D to where he could barely move, knocked him to the floor, posted him up.
was it bad of me?
I'm thinking about doing this everytime, if you want to try to shame me into a game then I'm not going to stoop to your level and shoot one handed just to make things even

Yeah but I don't usually go for the hard D.. I just block if they try and take anything in the paint.. On offense Ill just go for the circus shot here or there, or make em look silly on D. Unless its a good kid, then Ill take my time to teach them a bit about basketball.

Just say no guys.

I think saying no makes me feel worse than being a try hard though.
At least they learn a thing or two and get the respect they deserve.
Saying no just makes them sad

I actually haven't but I want to. When I heard it was more of a serious film than a comedy I bailed out on it.

This is the correct .gif to post
He also wink to the ref after it
It's amazing how fast these guys can get their body to react to peripheral visual input. That's a nearly flawless reaction that in real-time, probably happened in a hundredth of a second.
It's that's not athleticism, I don't know what is.
Tonight, we tie the series #holdat(Read this in Booz' voice, obviously).
YEAHHHH

There are many types of floppers that I've noticed:
the ones who look for contact then flop.
the ones who bait you to initiate the contact (Reggie Evans/Anderson Varejao)
those who flop on situations where contact may or may not happen (Ginobili/Harden/Bosh?)
those who flop on any contact (LA Clippers).
As infuriating as it is, LeBron isn't evem a top tier flopper IMHO.

Lebron rarely flop, but when he does.. he look like master of the art.
