He had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. Been rehabing, and said that his knee is feeling better. I don't know when he'll be back.

Kendrick missed one game?

PP had a few off games in the Finals?

I don't know man. Pau was a beast the past two playoff runs and in those runs he played center... they got two rings.

It ain't like he missed Game 1 though man. He missed Game 7, a Game 7 where Kobe Bryant, I repeat Kobe Bryant dominated the glass.

That's not my point.

I'm saying you're going to downplay what Pau did in all of the other Laker wins before that game 7? What about what he did in 2009?

I did say one of those championships, meaning last year. Don't get me wrong he stepped up and showed he could play the spot, but to say he got them two rings is going overboard to make your point. All I'm saying is Gasol didn't exactly have a dominating Finals last year to be including last year as a ring he got them cause he wasn't that huge a factor in the series until Game 7 when he and the rest of the Lakers feasted without Perkins down low for the C's. If the Lakers had lost that game, nobody would have looked back on that series and talked about Gasol did his part for them to win, but since they won now we're saying he got it for them?

Oh I didn't mean "he got them two rings on his own". I meant he played center and LA got two rings in a row with him at that position.

There's no way I meant he was the main reason they got two rings.

Oh okay gotcha. It seemed like that's where you were going with that. Don't mind me then. Though I still disagree with you about the Deng/Gibson thing. Of course I'm a little biased cause I want Deng's contract off my team lol.
