However, even that dunk was a little soft. The NBA FINALS needs dunks with power and emotion. Did you see Kobe's steal leading to a breakaway, reverse, double pump throw down that was absolutely unnecessary against the Spurs? It deflated the crowd (smattering of boos), deflated the Spurs, and let the young Lakers know that they were gonna win. On occasion Odom makes those kinds of plays (when he's not sleepwalking through a game) but rarely/never does Gasol do it.

Gasol can play that way, but more often than not he chooses to settle for the jumper. Which is what disappoints me about him. He has all the physical attributes, but chooses to ignore them. I hope he snaps out of it during this series and we see the old him come out to play. KG is starting to do the same. He shrinks himself way to often. BTW I am a huge KG fan and wanted and prayed for him to come to the Lakers. Stupid Kevin McHale.
