@LakersReporter
There are no restrictions for @paugasol tonight. He said he's feeling good, has the explosion he lacked early in season back.

Watch Pau's highlights in this video. Look at the post moves he displays, the aggression with which he fights towards the hoop, the passion he shows when making big shots and plays, how engaged he is overall, how he fights to box out to try and get offensive boards, how when he gets that first one early in the video he fights down low and gets the bucket surrounded by 3 Celtics, and the smart passing he displays. This was the last time Pau played that hard/well in the playoffs, if just SOME of that guy can come back we would be so much better. I understand he's lost hops and he's older, but I still think he can bring the effort we see there, to me it's motivation.

Side not, dang Ron had a good game 7, we don't win that game without him, he earned that ring with us.

Yup, just copy Kobe. Strips the ball away from Kobe hands and go and slam dunk it.
