How come Gasol has never won a playoff game without Kobe but with him won 2 rings

[rule1223]

and made 3 finals, and its not like he didnt have a good supporting cast, he had dwight howard and nash in 2013. I mean the west is tough so i dont blame him for not winning a series but not even a game?!

Uhh, it wasnt kobrick that made the difference for Pau, it was Fisher and Phil.

You know, the alltime leaders in playoff wins as a coach and player respectively..


When you add a smart, savvy post player like pau to a smart and savvy pg and coach, you can carry even the most overrated inefficient chucker to a few finals.

2005:
Had decent point guard in Jason Williams and Mike Miller scored double digits, but after that, he had Lo Wright, Brian Cardinal, Stro Swift and Battier.

2006:
Key rotation guys included, a done 34 year old Eddie Jones. 31 Year old Sucky Chucky Atkins. 32 year old Bobby Jackson. Jake Tsakalidis, Shane Battier, Hakim Warrick, Lorenzen Wright and Dahntay Jones.

because gasol didn't have great teams in memphis...and because he's better suited to be a 2nd option.

oh...and because Kobe is one of the best players ever.

Sorry, facts are facts.

Pau > Brickbe

Gasol will win playoff games this year without Kobe. Does that change who he is as a player?

Gasol led Grizzlies to more success than Kobe did after Shaq left. Remember Kobe demanding a trade and the entire STAPLES CENTER crowd booing Kobe during the season home opener? This really happened. That's where Kobe was headed before the Gasol trade saved the Lakers. When Gasol came to LA they were automatically title contenders. Gasol was already one of the best bigs in the league before he ever came to LA. The pairing of him and Kobe was huge.

Have fun with the current front line.

Checked your post history to see whether or not you ever called Bosh a superstar and what do you know:

peak dominance... needs two superstars to barely win one asterisks title and another in the weakest playoffs of all time LOL

In what universe is Bosh a superstar but Pau isn't?

[GODbe]

Same reason Walton did as well. They were playing alongside the greatest player of all time.

What about the Lakergirls, the ushers, the ticket handlers, and the fans for Pau's success? U just threw Kobe under the bus. Stop hating on Kobe

Basically Kobe wouldn't have won shit on the lakers without Pau at that point.

did you read the question? Why has Gasol never won a playoff game without Kobe? Not who has had the most success. If that were the case, then you still lose, because after shaq and before gasol, Kobe still won playoff GAMES, while Gasol was getting swept pretty much every year. Gasol has yet to win a playoff game without Kobe. What does demanding a trade have to do with the question being asked?
