Coming into a new system there no doubt were going to be bumps in the road for Pau Gasol. We can sit here and make excuses for him in comparing the two systems and finding the difference between them.
Gasol’s first season with the Spurs as stated did not start off very promising. He opened up the season against the Golden State Warriors on national television. Gasol played just 18 minutes. He finished with two points on 1-of-4 shooting from the floor.
His second game was a bit better as he finished with seven points on 3-of-7 shooting.
