Paul's #s are more impressive IMO than Allen's, rookie or not

John, to take Melo, who would you leave out from Brand, Marion, Gasol, Dirk or KG? So... 3rd time the question is made in this thread and still no answer. I'm very curious why you don't answer that simple question...

Pau Gasol had 23 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in last night's win over the Warriors.
He hit just 10-of-26 shots on the night, but one of those was the game-winner at the buzzer.

Gasol with a triple double...
Gasol grinds out triple-double as Grizzlies maul SuperSonics March 9, 2006 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
SEATTLE -- Pau Gasol wasn't about to lie. Memphis' All-Star forward knew exactly what he needed for the first triple-double of his career.
Gasol got the assist he sought when Jake Tsakalidis flashed open along the baseline for a wide-open dunk with 2:32 left, leaving Gasol with a giant grin all the way down the court.
Gasol scored 21 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and had 12 assists, and the Grizzlies routed the Seattle SuperSonics 99-74 on Wednesday night for their fourth win in five games.
"It was just overall, a game that felt really good," Gasol said. "I was very aware of it, I'm not going to lie. I knew that I needed the assist."
Gasol nearly eclipsed his previous career high of nine assists a few minutes earlier, but Mike Miller missed a pair of open jumpers. Tsakalidis' dunk was Gasol's 10th assist and he added two more in the final minutes.
Gasol joined New Jersey's Jason Kidd as the only players in the league this season to have at least 12 points, rebounds and assists in a game.
"It was good the way we shared the ball tonight and made shots," said Gasol, who added four steals and three blocked shots.
Gasol and Tsakalidis dominated the interior against Seattle's young frontcourt. Tsakalidis had a season-high 17 points and 15 rebounds, shooting 7-of-10, as Memphis outrebounded Seattle 51-35.
In his third season with Memphis, Tsakalidis agreed afterward that Wednesday night was his best performance with the Grizzlies.
"I was in the right place at the right time," Tsakalidis said. "They double-teamed Pau every time, so I just had to find the open spot."
Chucky Atkins and Bobby Jackson each scored 15 points, and Miller made up for an off shooting night with 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Ray Allen led Seattle with 18 points, but took just 10 shots. Excluding Seattle's Jan. 11 game against Orlando where Allen was ejected after just 8 minutes, it was the fewest shot attempts he's taken this season.
The Sonics shot just 34 percent, their third-lowest of the season. The 74 points were also their third-lowest output.
Johan Petro scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds, and Luke Ridnour scored 10 points for the Sonics, who were trying to win consecutive games for the first time since late January.
"We just couldn't make a shot," Seattle coach Bob Hill said. "Ray couldn't make a shot. Luke couldn't make a shot. ... We couldn't sink our teeth into the game."
Atkins was 4-of-5 and scored 12 points in the third quarter, when the Grizzlies turned a seven-point halftime lead into a 19-point advantage.
Atkins scored seven points during a 9-2 run that pushed the Grizzlies' lead to 62-46 midway through the quarter. Gasol added eight points during the quarter.
Jackson shot 6-of-9, and made two 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to turn back any Seattle rally.
"I thought we played with a renewed spirit and energy," Memphis coach Mike Fratello said. The Grizzlies lost to Denver 115-101 on Monday.
The effort was disappointing for the Sonics, who hadn't won consecutive games since Jan. 22 and 25. In the last eight days, Seattle beat New Orleans, nearly knocked off Detroit and beat Utah by 32 points on Sunday night.
But Seattle started flat, and never found its shot.
The Sonics' first five field goals all came on dunks - three by Chris Wilcox, one by Petro and one by Rashard Lewis. Ridnour finally made Seattle's first jump shot, a 20-footer with 49 seconds left in the first quarter.
While Shane Battier struggled offensively, his defense was superb. Battier defending Allen and Lewis and frustrated both.
Allen struggled to shoot over the bigger defender and Lewis had difficulty with Battier's physical play. Lewis was held eight points on 4-of-12 shooting.
Notes
Seattle signed F Marcus Fizer to a 10-day contract on Wednesday. The former No. 4 overall pick of Chicago in 2000 had been playing for Austin of the NBA Developmental League and was averaging 20.4 points and 7.6 rebounds for the Toros. ... Memphis G Eddie Jones missed his second straight game with a sprained left foot. Jones was hopeful of practicing on Thursday. ... It was the 500th game as a head coach for Hill.

i just wish we would have traded wright and 1 or 2 1sts for darko and arroyo. We need a big man and we need a pg, would have been a nice fit. Darko and Pau would have been a nice combo down the line. Both are versatile players and Darko's defense would have gone well with pau's offense.

No it wouldn't have Grizzlies blow ass, they got lucky last night. The ol' lucky 25 point win where the Sonics never led at all, Pau Gasol had 21, 12, 12, 4, and 3, and Jake Tsakalidis completely and utterly dominated the interior (17 pts, 15 rebs). I wish I was that lucky.

the few times i saw Jake play I thought he looked pretty good. He seemed to have a nice shot. I never understood why he didn't get more PT, especially since we needed a C. He either has the basketball IQ of Stromile Swift or lagged in practice.

Because Jake is slow in transition, he isn't athelitic and is clumpsy (don't know how to write the word)
He shoots well and is big. That's his qualities.
