    I have no idea why Pau just did this, but it cracked me up so I filmed it real quick and uploaded it.

    Pau is absolutely beasting this season. Tonight he put up 29 points 16 rebs and 5 blocks. This season he's averaging 2.3 blocks per game, 11 boards and about 18 points. He's averaging 3.3 blocks in the last 10 games.

    Pau was one of my favorites but I knew it was time for him to go. His time in LA had run out and I'm glad the greener pasture is allowing him to play at a high level.

    Bulls had a great offseason with getting Pau , Mirotic and Brooks ... the offensive emergence of Butler is big too ...

    Long season but I hope we'll get a Bulls-Hawks ECF .... The only 2 East teams worth watching imo

    With solid players that can take the load off him or play off of, Gasol is and has always been an excellent second fiddle or complementary piece. Saw the line...was not surprised. Happy for him.

    Pau looks a lot more spry this year though. He wasn't moving like this the last few years here. Looks like he finally got over those nagging lower leg injuries.

    He played international ball this summer as well. It is surprising. Maybe his incentive is a big FU to D'antoni's trying to jam squares into round holes.

    what I can't figure out is how they've been able to hide him on defense. must be noah taking whichever big is involved in the screen/roll. teams just murdered pau on that for the past two years. the lakers tried to hide him and couldn't.

    offensively, it's amazing what happens when you don't ask one of the most gifted post players of a generation to be a sf.

    Vucevic travels a little bit by dragging his pivot foot, but that happens all the time.

    That play actually is remarkably similar to Pau's dunk on Birdman.

    Doesn't it make you guys mad when you see Pau killing it? I want to strangle our FO for ever considiering Dantoni as a coach....I mean the guy ruined Pau Gasol completely. I don't blame Pau one bit for leaving us....but man it really hurts to see him kill it for another squad like THIS. Nobody saw this coming. Ugh. Hopefully the Bulls crap all over the Cavs if they face each other in the playoffs. That'll make me happy.

    No I'm alright with it. It was time for us to part ways and I'm happy to see him successful in another location.

    If the Lakers aren't going to be competitive, then I'd be alright with the Bulls being successful.
