    I like gasol, but I think Tyson Chandler is a better fit next to Aldridge.

    Moot point though. No way either would be available

    What a bad night for basketball.

    My beloved Blakers lost and so did my egg-sucking Timberdogs.

    How can I go on?

    No lie, Gasol is the best big man that any team could have, not only because he's a great passer but because he's such a threat to score at any place on the court. I've never seen any post player make passes in the paint like Gasol can. He can be double-teamed and thread the needle to Z-Bo like it's nothing. He's the perfect compliment to any big man. I'm frustrated with our coaching staff for not utilizing him enough.

    I think he's brought down, in part, because of his name. Pau Gasol was a soft, pick-and-pop player that gained the reputation as a passer because he kept the defense honest with his mid-range game, but his brother, Marc, has taken it to a whole nother level. He's anything but soft, plays great defense, and can make passes in post-up situations.

    More than anything, Gasol's not a "stats" guy. He just values the win. He passes up a lot of opportunities to score to give guys like Rudy Gay a clear path to the basket, and he never forces the issue. He's the epitome of wins first/stats later player.

    Speaking of stats though, Gasol might be the first player in NBA history to be top 10 in both FT% and blocks per game. If that doesn't speak to his game, I don't know what does.

    Anyone notice that Kobe, in the scheme of things, didn't get that many votes. If half of Portland voted 8 times, we could get all of our starters voted in.

    Do you really think the NBA would allow that to happen?

    They'd rig the vote. There is no way the NBA would want the Portland Trail Blazers be the WC's starting team for the ASG.

    Pistons give up 19 point lead and Holiday ties it for Philly on a play that should have been an and-one.

    OT in the who cares bowl, but Holiday is a nice player.

    Carlos Boozer 19 points, 20 rebounds and 4 assists as Chicago beat Boston in OT. His last assist was for the game winner by Belinelli with 3 seconds left.

    It was an exciting game but Boston was robbed. Butler fouled Pierce and they didn't call it. Then Noah ties him up and the rest is history.
