Same here, I hated him in college, didn't think he'd be anything in the NBA, but the dude just plays hard. I'd love to have a guy like that on the Lakers, somebody that actually cares about boards and blocking shots more than anything else, PLUS, he's not afraid to call LeBron the b**** he is.

not sure about solid but it's a win. we looked really bad and this definitely is not how we want to play against the better teams.

we haven't had someone like that in a LONG time... can't really remember. rambis? ahaha

Kobe forced a lot of things but it's okay because he made a majority of his shots. I think we all agree that 8 shots for Gasol, no matter how soft he may be, is too less. He needs to get that ball more.

so he forced, so what, give him the credit he deserved. after utah I loved him more, he was sick and all that, but still come out and play.. You have to appreciate him.
KB the best!!

I HATED Noah in college.

Now? He's one of my favorite players in the league. Dude is awesome. Seems like a very down to Earth and "real" type of dude.

Noah had 4-16 FG as a center.

Bulls announcers ended the game talking about how Kobe isn't a showboating douche like LeBron.

20 rebounds, 6 blocks, a ton of hustle plays.

The guy was great tonight.

you gotta give chicago credit....they came out and gave it their all

even their announcers were saying that they played amazing

Same here. Hated Noah at Florida. Now I really respect him. Not very talented but he makes up for it with heart.

He and Farmar injected much needed life to the team.

Yeah noticed that too.

Then he did his Bill Cartwright impression which was awesome.

It really says something about fans like you when even a game like that can't shut you up.

Basically you prove to me that you lack the necessary observational skills to properly watch a basketball game. There were very real reasons why Pau only got 8 shots off, it wasn't for a lack of touches.

Nevermind that a majority of Kobe's looks came from the same low block that Pau operates out of.
