Pau GaSol has been to the playoffs three times and all three times GaSol has been swept but not today.  GaSol making his Laker debut couldn’t wrote it better himself.  GaSol was all over the court today and when Kobe Bryant go himself into foul trouble it was GaSol who became the go to man.  The Nuggets had a chance to seal game from the Lakers but with no defense and horrible foul shooting the Nuggets really shot themself in the foot for the game the Nuggets shot 23-37 and for the Lakers at the foul line they shot 27-32 for 84%.  GaSol who was on the floor for 45 minutes shot 14-20 and ended up with 36 points.  Bryant who had a bad 1st half heated up in the 4 th quarter and scored 18 in the final quarter alone.  Bryant had 32 for the game.”I knew he could perform at a high level,” Kobe Bryant had to say. ”This just ain’t Memphis. I think this offense has freed him up a little bit and showcased more what he can do instead of just being in the post all the time.”"It’s tough to match up against us for a variety of reasons. We have guys that can finish, we have a a great 1-2 punch, and all of our guys can pass all ball.”
