Former Los Angeles Lakers All-Star Pau Gasol explains how he believes his team got rewarded during Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals.

Gasol was motivated enough to play in a Game 7, but the fact it was the Celtics made him even hungrier. Gasol was a recent guest on JJ Redick’s The Old Man & the Three podcast and talked about how ugly the Lakers played in that Game 7. The Lakers met up with the Orlando Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals and made quick work of the Magic, winning in five games. Lakers rivalry had been renewed in 2008 after the teams regularly reached the NFL Finals in the 1980s. The Celtics were dealt a tough blow when center Kendrick Perkins injured his knee during Game 6 and was ruled out for the series finale. In the 2009-09 season, Gasol started all 81 games he played and averaged 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds. For Pau Gasol, there was some measure of satisfaction in 2010 when his Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. There was a lot more to it than it just being the heated Celtics vs. It was also the first of three straight trips to All-Star Weekend for him as a Laker. In his first full year in LA, Gasol and the Lakers made a return trip to the championship round. In his first playoff game with the Lakers, he poured in 36 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. In his first year with the Lakers, he made quite an impact. In his LA debut, he had 24 points and 12 rebounds in a victory.

Russell Westbrook hinted that the pressure is piling on the Lakers during a tense exchange with reporter Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times.

Not only is his injury crucial for production on the floor, but Lakers coach Frank Vogel said it’s much deeper than that. He then walked out of the room. Then, he got up out of his seat and began to argue with Turner. The Lakers were without James in Tuesday’s loss, after the 37-year-old hurt his ankle in the first half of Sunday’s 116-108 loss to New Orleans. He landed awkwardly on the foot of Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes, and went down clutching his left ankle in pain — but remained in the game. “So I don’t have an answer. When the reporter asked what changes the Lakers could make in the final stretch of the regular season — especially with LeBron James sidelined with a left ankle injury — Westbrook said he didn’t have the answer.

After being out since January with a sprained foot, Anthony Davis could return to the Lakers lineup on Friday for a key game against the Pelicans.

While both will be out Thursday when Los Angeles travels to Utah, the good news is Davis is targeting a Friday return for a critical game against the Pelicans, reports Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. The Lakers need LeBron’s shot creation.
