He's fine on defense.

I mean on offense, and the fact that he's not a threat scoring going to the rim because of his size and has a hard time shooting over people off the dribble.

hes been penetrating all game vs one of the best defensive teams in the league. whos he gonna have trouble with if not the magic? hes been taking contested 3's his whole career and this season hes shot well.

Don't agree with that.

It's his 1st Playoffs and he's drawn a former DPOY as his opponent. Not to mention doubles (with another DPOY occasionally being that double in Kawhi).

Give him time to learn and he needs more weapons around him to help draw the doubles off of him.

Nah he's right. Unless it's a 2 year contract, I don't want him on the books for what he will want. I'll roll the dice with Bamba.

Magic fans not interested in applauding their teams effort?

Really questioning Cliff's decision to go from the no fouling on defense approach through the first 3 games and to start fouling today. Probably cost them this game.

Gasol is just a straight up menace. He is costing Vuc millions this offseason.

Our D is insane with Gasol

I love JV, but hot damn. What a huge difference.

Detective agrees. Oh Yeah!

*pelvic thrusts*

If raps beat sixers. Gasol will be the difference. Gasol has handled embiid well every time they played. Plus gasol doesn’t even need to score anymore.

Sixers will lose in 5.

Unless the Harris/butler/Simmons can step it up if gasol neutralizes embiid.

It's crazy cuz there looks to be another realgm rivalry brewing as well with ur Celtic fans and bucks fans.
Round 2 is gonna be crazy (barring any upsets) basketball wise and realgm wise

Sent from my SM-N950W using RealGM mobile app

I think both fan bases think the other team is overrated for Boston/Milwaukee lol. I’m very interested to see what Vegas posts it as...I’m guessing -300 for Milwaukee?

If the officiating trend continues, we don't stand a chance.

Raps dead last out of all playoff teams in FT attempts, despite being aggressive and attempting a ton of shots at the rim. Philly #1 out of all PO teams in attempts.

No way we win if that continues. Philly is too good for the raps to overcome that kind of whistle.

I think it depends more on who the officials are. Tony Brothers will officiate against the Raps. I thought the first halves of games 2 and 3 were the worst. Here in game 4 the officials have been in Toronto's favour if anything.

Should have been a sweep. If only Nurse played Kawhi 4 more minutes in game 1.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gasol gets a few ticky tacky fouls early. I'm sure he can handle Embiid fairly well, but Philly getting to the line will be tough.

83 points for Orlando. Raps D is so nasty.

I didn't say he has problems penetrating to the rim. I said he has problems scoring there. He can get into the lane and to the rim at will, but always dribbles back out because there's a high chance of his shot getting blocked if he goes up with it.

Maybe he'll be fine scoring off threes all playoffs. I don't know. Just saying against the best teams in the league, it could be a problem later on if his outside shot is off and he has no other scoring options.
