| I wish Pau would throw a basketball at you Nermin 34 and ask you. Are you not entertained, are you not entertained? |

| I agree he can do better. I would want to see him take an extra step to the basket. Most of his missed shot( close range ) are usually short. |

| Anyone Duncan can back down will receive the same treatment on the defensive end. If Duncan can't back you down then you stand more of a chance of guarding him. I'd be upset only if it was someone like Wilcox from Seattle, but we're talking about a hall of fame power forward who is an excellent finisher, Pau will need help, bottomline. So, saying Pau needs to do this, Pau needs to do that against Duncan on the containment side of things is unfair. That's like saying you need to stop Kobe, it's not going to happen, it's a team game. The way the Hornets limited Duncan was by constant double teams, one on one defense is not going to work all that well. |

| I would like him to be more consistent with his rebounding though. One night he'll gobble up 12 boards and maybe an o-board or three. Then there are nights, like Wednesday night, where he'd settle with 7 boards and ZERO offensive rebounds. I'm sure he'll be fine, but a little more aggression on the glass would help him out big-time. |

Well, Phil probably said it best about Gasol's play the past few games... if you don't know, find out.
He needs to be a dominant force down low. I know it isn't necessarily his game, but you do what you need to do to win. Thankfully, the team has been winning- just not as easily as we would like. |

Just not as easily? Thirty point victory? What do you want, fifty point wins? |

| If gasol can keep duncan to 12 pts on 6-14 shooting while he is scoring 10 himself i'll take it every game this series. Even game 1 wasnt too bad either 30 pts for duncan to 19 for gasol. The key for this series is not duncan its making sure all the 3 pt shooter are contested and clog the lane for parker and manu. This series is pretty much over i know kobe will steal one game by himself at least, which he would have done easily in the utah series if not for the bad back. |

| Nermin34 - When I said Gasol should throw the ball at you and ask you are you not entertained, it is a little bit of a take from the movie Gladiator and the title of your post. When Rusell Crowe, the Spaniard was what he was called in the movie, he cut this guy's head off and then tossed a sword at some people in the crowd and started yelling "Are you not entertained, are you not entertained?" It was me joking around. You're in luck Nermin34, they're rolling back the prices on senses of humor at Walmart. |
