    Re: Western Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

    anyway... raw just as I said, its a huge focus on Pau but no one is saying anything about anyone else although theyre screwing up as well

    Kobe and Bynum both looked lost and uninspired on defense on the pick and roll that netted Dirk a 3 from the top left but Phil didnt rip into them

      I'm actually watching the game now.

      Basically the lakers didn't defend the 3 point line

        basically, mavs shot over 28 3's i believe most of them which were open shots. Mavs probably should of won by more points than the outcome

          the complaining is more about Pau's offensive game. he just looks lifeless sans a few moves.

          is response to both of you, the perimeter defense as a whole has been bad. its baffling to me that the whole ****ing team just refuses to guard the 3pt line. i mean u can see phil yell at them from bench and even when he calls his timeouts he telling them to switch or rotate and they just refuse too.

          its like these mofo's have never played against a pick & roll team before. Dirk doesnt even shoot as many 3's these days as he did a few years ago but against us he is getting constant good looks.

          good lord.

          I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
          yea but will they take psn cards
          Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

            Raw

            I don't think its that. I don't know if you remember but jerry west said back in january that they're too old to guard the perimeter like that

            I could find the quote later but yeah pau was the only one being waterboarded even though dallas was shooting wide open 3s all night

            Its been apparent during the season but since the playoffs make you focus on strengths and weaknesses in particular, its just something that's more noticeable and talked about


            Phil is like going straight off on pau though even when its not his fault

              Listening to an LA Times writer this morning on ESPN Radio, when asked who's to blame for the 3-0 deficit, he said "the blame is solely on the shoulders of Pau Gasol."

              I understand Gasol hasn't played well, but I don't see how they can pin this all on him. No one has showed up period for LA.

                  I guess that writer thinks none of it can be blamed on the fact that the guy who was being guarded by 38 year old Jason Kidd. Who has not been getting past his man as much as he used to and has become even more of a volume jump shooter, I guess all of that is Pau fault. Even though I do agree Pau has played horrible this entire playoffs and that I rather go with Bynum and Odom, this is a complete team effort not just Pau.

                    Is pretty much the mentality in Los Angeles... find a scapgoat and that usually isnt someone in particular. In the past it was Lamar Odom, now its Pau

                    Fisher is responsible for more scrubs getting contracts than any other Laker

                    They haven't mentioned him yet but he's not exactly a stopper either... pick on Pau for the PnR, but how are these guys driving in the first place? How did Barea get in the lane like he did?

                    Not that im going to go on like that, but I was just making a point, seeing Gasol get yelled at and thumped in the chest is quite hilarious. I hope he iced it up last night

                      All this hate on Pau Gasol - trade him away. Every other team in the league would be glad to take him.

                      Gasol isn't the leader on the Lakers. Where is the leader during all of this?

                      Where are the role players? Why not question the head coach and why the Lakers haven't run their offense through Bynum?

                        Where are the role players? Why not question the head coach and why the Lakers haven't run their offense through Bynum?

                          Kobe hasn't exactly stepped up either. As it's been mentioned plenty of times, no reason he shouldn't be able to get past Kidd.

                            Still doesn't mean he's free from any criticism as well.

                            Everybody pointing finger at Gasol when he ain't the only one playing like crap.

                              I found it funny that people (not here on OS) were blaming Gasol for being hit in the back of the head by Bryant's pass down the stretch. Bryant went up for a shot, and Gasol went to box out for the rebound, at the last second Bryant passed to Gasol when his back was turned to him. Yet it was Gasol's fault.
