You guys agree that Pau Gasol is just as good offensively as Tim Duncan?

Duncan may own him on the areas of defense such as bodying up, blocks, and boxing out. But if Kareem can teach Pau these things that would be so much awesome. Bynum already carries those defensive traits.

Offensively, Gasol is very similar to Duncan, although the way Duncan uses the backboard for his bank shots is pretty impressive.

If Kareem can teach Gasol how to defend a little better, it would help. I think Kareem has done a good job of making Bynum a better defender.

pau will eventually be as smart as duncan as a basketball player, and he will hit that hook shot from 12 feet out consistently, and he is quicker so he should be the best power forward in the league. when you have two bigmen, one who can, hit mid range shots and one that can score in the paint, one will be open.that along with kobe and lamar’s incredible passing and drive the lane game, and derek’s threat from the perimeter, it will be very difficult to double team and that will lead to more scoring. that and our great bench. 2008-2012 nba champs

not only that but we have the best bench in the league, farmar the machine, ronny, and air-iza, lamar will improve as well now that pau is on the team

DANG. Lamar, Bynum and Gasol are gonna kill the boards until we get what we want.

BTW, Kobe’s MVP is looking in a little jeopardy. That Chris Paul is kinda making things happen. It’s not good for Kobe’s MVP route. However, Kobe would rather want a ring, right?
