I don't think he'll shoot this poorly all season, but I'm not sure that what we're seeing now isn't what he is.
I just want him to make better decisions and pass more. More of a pure PG. Embrace his new role.

God is Gasol a freaking baby. Soft mother [expletive]. He is wetting his pants scared of Gortat. He and Gortat were under the basket when a 3 was attempted for the Wizards, and Pao went out to the free throw line to box out a point guard. He wanted NO part of that.

Portland is reportedly a first round pick away from Wilson Chandler. Please. Now is the time to do it. Next year may not be so wide open. (Of course next month may not be either, but I'll just ignore that). Our bench is weak (though way better than the historically bad 13-14) and Batum is having an expletivy year (man, maybe we should have dealt him when Parsons (Lillard shot) and Hayward signed for a billion dollars).
We're also linked to retired Jermaine O'Neal. Boy that makes me feel old... but also good.

Lillard puts the Lakers to bed.

Gortat and Nene are so tough.
Pau might not be super physical, but Saturday he beat Milwaukee by himself.

I will not miss Austin Rivers' bus.
Hope these moves open up another trade for a backup PG. Jameer Nelson would be perfect on the Pelicans, but Mo Williams or CJ Watson would be fine.

This guy argues NYC should seize the Knicks through eminent domain because they are a blight on the city akin to abandoned buildings:
First, the Knicks have become a “blight” on the city every bit as much as an abandoned building. Consider just one example. Every time a Knick game is broadcast on national TV, millions of viewers watch a team with “NEW YORK” on its jerseys reach new levels of ineptitude. We can only guess at the number of potential tourists who say, “If that’s what New York stands for, I’ll go to Muncie,” or the number of entrepreneurs who decide to locate their new ventures elsewhere. The loss in potential revenues is staggering to contemplate.
Second, it is basketball we’re talking about, the sport that the great journalist Pete Axthelm called “the city game,” the sport that needs only a ball, a hoop and a patch of asphalt. The blight that Dolan’s ownership has cast upon one of New York’s defining symbols is like a string of fast-food franchises defacing Sheep Meadow.
I think the "Muncie" thing was tongue in cheek, but it was followed up by the idea that entrepreneurs are locating elsewhere because the Knicks suck. I find this hilarious.
OTOH, maybe the Knicks really are that painfully bad.

thrill your bball knowledge is way more than mine, so I trust what you say. But can a team really win with a soft mother [expletive] like Gasol? That guy is the biggest [expletive] I have ever seen - literally. If you are 7' you have no excuse to be a whiny little soft b1tch.
And as I typed this I just watched him try to push Mozgov - if he had any strength it would have been such an obvious foul but Mozgov didn't budge.
Absolute last guy in the NBA I'd take to a street fight with me. Seven feet tall and a two inch dick.
