I dont even know.. Gasol is inconistent but Bynum is young AND inconsistent..

Ill take Gasol because id expect his ass to pull himself out the muck and be a veteran at the end of the day.. cant put a championship on Bynum unless we HAVE TO.. plus we got the Finals with just Gasol..

@ ChiTown

Yes i retract my Gasol/Rodman statement lol u got me on that one..

Rondo could have hired that 6 year old basketball prodigy that Dime profiled a few months ago to train him how to shoot free throws. The guy has been in the league a few years now, he’s obviously not going to work on his game in that regard now or anytime soon. Why bother working on your own game when you have 3 HoFers carrying your ass to championships and you were just overpaid because your agent whined you into a good contract?

From what that KCDubs or wtf his name was who coached him in highschool and posts here sometimes, Rondo’s shooting skills peaked back in highschool before he had hair on his nuts, if the current trends remain true, in a few years he’s going to be knocking on 20-30% from the line.

Imagine the celts having to put Eddie House in the game at crunch time because Rondo can’t hit FT’s! I wish the Bulls scout would have taken notice of that during the playoffs last year. Of course he was hitting 3′s against the bulls though.

I know a lot of people say “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” when it comes to shooting form. But clearly Rondo’s form is the reason he can’t shoot. Some people don’t have a shooters touch and almost need to be perfect with their form to be a decent shooter… Rondo is that person. His left elbow should not be at a 90 degree angle from his right while shooting. I mean come on, that’s common knowledge. And when you notice you are missing every f^king shot, then it’s time to change that $h!t. It would take 2-3months total to change it, but Rondo must be busy rollerskating in the off-season.

Gasol goes off then throws up duds like this last week and Bynum can dominate the defensive end but his offense can be lacking. Who is more essential in the Lakers run for a repeat?

Yeah man, I would have been throwing the hate nice and tight all day. Was too busy with it being holidays and shit though. Rondo has to be the only non-center player in the league…almost in the HISTORY of the league who is a good to implement the Hack-A-Shaq strategy with. The kid can post a triple double, but until he fixes his under 50% free throw shooting and forces defenders to play within 10 feet of him outside the paint…he’s going to lose more games for his team than win.

@Lakeshow,
I loved the OKC/Laker game last week when the announcers were speaking about how Gasol isn’t soft. Then shortly after that statement, Serge Ibaka threw an elbow to his face and all Ichabod Crane could do was stare at him like he was about to cry. Ibaka then spent the rest of his minutes pushing, slapping, and throwing Gasol around. Then you said he would match up well with Rodman….ahahahahaha

@Control,

Aw man, I was wondering where you were when Rondo was missing those game winning freethrows. It’s the same thing you were posting about when he was shooting 37% from the FT line.

Should Z-Bo be an all-star? If the Grizz are in the playoff race come all-star selection time, then yes. If not, then no cause he still gets abused on the defensive end of the court.

Deflect what?? if we lose tonight then ill be soured but im still in the same mood as when the season started.. We lost on Christmas which is a toss up half the time and we lost to a division rival we SMASHED the previous 2 games this year.. If the Suns are any good they shouldnt have been swept and they didnt let us do it.. so Kudos to them lol

and i dont know, tell Pau to DEMAND it.. im tired of hearing Pau WOULD LIKE the ball.. DEMAND IT.. Get in the post and sit there with your hand waving in the hair, YELLING and if they swing the ball follow it and demand from that side.. We’ll catch on.. Dude always says he “would like” more touches but usually passes after his first entry pass.. I would kill to see some aggression..

I want YOUNG Pau Gasol back.. dude who had a scowl and dunked on people.. This Pau is too easily intimidated.. by his own teammates at that..
