I'm glad Pau is coming back but what about the post

ESPN: And even a possible return of Pau Gasol from a hamstring injury Thursday night won’t deter Bryant from occupying the post.

"Noooooo, not at all," Bryant said.

"When you talk to Pau, ask him who won our one-on-one post game. I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t him."

Obviously, Kobe had to play a lot in the post while Pau was out but I think the Lakers are more dangeous with Pau in the post as opposed to Kobe. Especially when the Lakers have a clear height advantage. I hope Kobe is just kidding. Although Kobe’s post game is better than Gasol’s, the height advantage is an even bigger tool.

I think smashing the Suns made me realize how far Kobe and the Lakers have come from five years ago, when the Suns had the world at their feet.

Oops. Anyway, I'm trying to wrap my brain around what the Bucks are doing with Joe

Alexander. Coming out of West Virginia, many scouts pegged him as very raw prospect, something that I disagree with, though there are obvious short comings with his game. Anyway, the Bucks didn’t pick up his option for next year, making him an unrestricted free agent next summer. Alexander is sure to get some looks. Were the Bucks trying to save money? Did they just give up on him because he hasn’t made any progress after one season? I find that hard to believe, especially since he hasn’t been playing basketball that long. I’m sure he’ll find a home next year. Maybe the Lakers? I just think the Bucks gave up on a talent way too soon. Alexander has a huge upside.
