Pau Gasol’s frustration has revealed itself a number of times this season and one of those times being last night after the Lakers suffered a blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. Gasol voiced his concerns with small ball and felt there was a lack of discipline being taught, both comments being perceived as jabs towards head coach Mike D’Antoni.

When asked about the veteran’s comments, D’Antoni said he understood the consistent losing and justifiable frustration were what fueled the remarks, but felt that Gasol should have kept his feelings and comments “in house.”

After suffering their third straight loss tonight to the Memphis Grizzlies, Gasol was asked if he had any opinion on Mike D’Antoni’s response to his comments. Pau told the media during his post game interview on Time Warner Cable SportsNet what he thought:

Pau on his comments last night: "I don’t think it was nothing out of line…or nothing that went too far. I stated something obvious to me."

He also expressed that his comments were ignited by emotions after a tough loss, but he felt they weren’t a big deal. Reporters were also curious how Gasol thought his teammates responded to his comments:

Pau is one of the only Lakers who has been playing consistent basketball every game this and one of the few players on the team with championship experience. His teammates understand that and know his experience and knowledge is valuable to the success of the team.

The Spaniard’s teammates surely share the same sentiments as they all acknowledged that the losing record is proof that the current system is not working. Newcomers, Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks both made mentions of trying to get Pau more active in the game tonight and getting him more looks.
