Pau’s take

Last week, Andrew Bynum conceeded that he and Pau Gasol occasionally run into each other at the offensive end because each is so accustomed to playing the five (center) spot in the Lakers offense. We took that to be a bad thing, but Gasol isn’t so sure.

“Yeah, sometimes (we run to the same spot). So we just have to communicate a little better. But I think it’s a goot thing, because if we’re both being aggressive in the post, demanding the ball, that’s a good thing,” Gasol said. “I think it’d be worse if we both were fading away or letting the other always take that initiative.”
