The return of Pau Gasol, to me, was like going to see a really hyped-up movie, and then the movie actually being really good. I sat down with my soda, popcorn, and watermelon Sour Patch Kids, totally prepared to be disappointed. Little did I know that Pau would capture my attention early ...

Thursday night against the Suns, the Lakers will
have Andrew Bynum back in the lineup (no Pau
