16/12/7/1/5 & 17/5/7/1/2 for Gasol in Games 3/4 - Apologize for thinking he was done here

Ever notice how once he receives a pass at the top of the 3 pt line, he NEVER dribbles? I know it's coach's instruction to minimize possibility of turnovers, but even when guys can't get open, he doesn't even take a dribble to possibly get a better angle, it's makes me so angry.

Gasol matched up better against Orlando and Philly because they had centers who played like centers.

Now he's up against a center who camps out at the 3 point line all game. He won't be as effective in that match up.

But overall anyone who thinks we'd be better off with JV is fooling themselves. Might have been better on offence, but defensively Gasol has been elite. The Bucks are just a bad matchup for him. Wish we had an actual backup center.

He played really bad in game 2 so the criticism then was warranted. And of course his shooting has been more off than on which is fair to criticize.

But his defense outside of the 4th quarter of game 1 and most of game 2 has been solid pretty much the rest of the playoffs. This game might be his best all round game in the playoffs.

In 2 games against MIL this year, JV was unplayable.

Minutes: 26
FG: 5-18
Points: 16

Still very frustratingly scared on offense at times, but he may be finding his groove here I hope.

He has to play like that every night for me to be impressed. I'm not into ugly girls with nice bodies....they have to be pretty as well

I thought it was 4v5 offense with Gasol on the court? The hot takes here are just amazing.

All hail Gasol. My deepest apologies.

The fact that JV fans don't give any credit to Gasol when he plays good proves they aren't Raptor fans. Just want to stick around for the ride because your new team sucks. Should be banned for trolling board.

Sorry GASOL

That literally happened for 8 straight games from game 2 vs the 76ers to game 3 vs the Bucks. That was no hot take. That's an obvious assessment over the majority of games against two contenders in the East.

He had to show up as an actual scoring threat and he said it on record many times, how are you less critical than Gasol on his own play lol? Glad he finally did, it shouldn't take this long. Expect no less moving forward.

When Gasol is aggressive and gets im the paint good things happen, he had those amazing passes to cutters right under the basket a couple of times when he was at the top of the key. Norm and some of the other Raps need to get that pass inside to Gasol

I'm ignoring all the hot takes at this point. Gasol doesn't have to prove anything to me, I know why he was brought in to this squad and he's been delivering all playoffs.

Masai right....irrational overly emotional fans wrong...once again

Only 5 rebounds? JV would've had 30. Gasol is washed
