nikka dropped 46 & 18 less than a week ago and fans are complaining? 
Laker fans, teach me how to properly hate on Pau
- Thread starter Eternal Tecate
- Start date
I skimmed your post, my bad.Did I not just say he struggles with physicality?
As in the Nene always gives him trouble
any laker fan that hates Pau is just a fakkit Kobe stan, with no loyalty to the actual team, that doesn't appreciate the work he put in for us. the guy is old now, but i'm not going to pretend he didn't hold down the paint during our title runs(especially with Bynum missing all those games).
and i can't believe you're hating on his offensive game. you guys finally add a player that can create for himself and score for himself and you're complaining because he holds onto the ball too long. it's not like derrick rose is shooting 16 shots per game, scoring 17 points, while shooting 40% from the floor, but his one good game means the struggles are all on Pau. It's not like Rose is jacking up 5 threes a game while shooting 25% from beyond the arc.
All the clowns on here are hating on Kobe for being his work this season, but the guy is 36 and coming back from a major injury. I don't see any damn threads about the PG that took two years off and is only 26 while jacking as much shyt on a way better team surrounded by a great supporting cast. If you guys want to be the best in the East you need to get it from DRose, not the guy that is at the back end of his career.

Y'all should be more worried about Jimmy Butler. He fell off once teams started guarding him.

Have you not watched the past 2 weeks? Jimmy's shooting 35% OVERALL and Pau's been a turnstile letting every perimeter player blow by him or get wide open 10 footers every time they run a pick and roll (which is basically every trip down the floor)
We knew Pau struggled with lateral movement on defense before he came here
Now youre surprised and want to shyt on him for it?
When Pau signed here he probably thought the reigning DPOY, Noah, & Taj would be able to check the best opposing post player we faced
You're being ridiculous & unfair to him. Hes been amazing this season

We knew he was slow but we didn't know that playing him at the only place he can play, under the basket, and forcing Noah to guard PFs away from the basket takes away the most important part of our defense, Jo's ability to protect the paint. Instead of Jo and his help D as the last line of defense we have Gasol, who can't fukking move.
It's not about checking anyone, he fukks up the help lines that are the backbone of Thibs' defensive scheme.
