You said "going by this season" and then listed two guys that either didn't play (Bynum) or barely played (Bogut).... Are you going by this season or not? It's obvious you are lying to yourself or to us.

so you can't really disagree so you have to nitpick? i threw bynum and bogut in there because when they are healthy they are more of a difference maker than Gasol. And Bogut has played this season, Gasol has been absolute trash for 3/4ths of the entire season, let's not act like his recent play is indicative of his year. I remember Lakerfans ready to trade this guy for peanuts at the deadline.

It's obvious you are lying to yourself because you cannot dispute my claim. What about the other guys I listed? Can't dispute that can you? lol Pau Gasol 2nd best center

What? I think it's a pretty damn fair point to say you're holding Pau to a standard with your 'list' going by this season, yet not people you list? That's a little hilarious, you weren't dropped as a child were you?

Dispute your claim? Did you want an expect panel called up, a third party will decide who is right? It's an opinion, and yours is a stupid one, but you can't do anything for stupids.

My biggest concern for the Lakers is relying on Pringles, whose probably going to fail to make smart adjustments. Spurs will be more prepared, and not just because of HCA.

Going by this season?

Duncan
Noah
Chandler
Cousins
Vucevic
M. Gasol
Bynum (when healthy)
Horford
Monroe
Jefferson
Hibbert (he is a defensive monster)
Lopez
Bogut (when healthy)

all players I'd rather have than P. Gasol

So you are going to set a lineup vs the spurs and you choose Bynum who is not even playing atm or Jefferson over Pau.

Okay, i'll believe that

He hasn't been the 2nd best this season, but may have been the second best in the last games of the season, and we all know he has the skills to play as such level, as proved in the Olympics for example

You should learn to quit while what you say is some sort of argument, because your ending there is very sad considering it's based on absolutely nothing. It's even sadder with the "laughing smilies." Inventing something from thin air and then laughing at it by yourself... Okay...

You are nitpicking. I added one player who didn't play this season because we all know Bynum is better than Gasol. So really you're crying about me listing Bynum because I put "this season" and he hasn't played this season...okay, my bad. Now that your panties are out of a wad because a player who is obviously better than Gasol has been taken off the list, please go back and explain to me how Gasol is the 2nd best center instead of just whining about stupid crap. You're arguing semantics and that is indicative of a loser. gg.

Who is setting a lineup? Does Bynum and Jefferson play for the Spurs? Does Pau? I'm listing players who are better than Gasol at his position. And yes, THIS SEASON, in my opinion, Al Jefferson has been a better player than Pau Gasol

Whose going to score for LA when the Spurs collapse the paint?

Nash is coming off an injury. Blake won't get it done.

Teams proved they can stop the Dwight + Lakers all season long, it was the officiating that prevented them from winning. Lakers' record would be 20-62 if their FTs and FT diff. were adjusted for the league average.

Gasol is the 2nd best Center in the game, that's true.

But the Lakers perimeter is AWFUL the worst in the PO by far, I mean... Nash, Duhon, Blake, Morris, Meeks, Goudelock, MWP, Ebanks, Clark and Jamison... maybe Dwight can destroy you, maybe even Gasol can have nice games next to Dwight... but with that perimeter, it's impossible to do anything in the postseason.

Hopefully the Lakers can stop this eight championship streak the Magic are on then.

Dwight got exposed playing against western conference big men. He's still good, but not dominant.

Where did he say Gasol is the second best center? And beside, you started off with "this season" and then listed Bynum, that's a flaw, so don't get pissed off when someone call you out.

As you stated, Bynum is better than Gasol when healthy, then why don't you consider IF Gasol is being used properly by MD, Gasol could be better than some of those centers you listed? Double standard much?

If Dwight was really "unstoppable", he'd already have a ring.

Spurtatcus · Post #60 » by **Spurtatcus** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 6:30 pm

I don't really get why you care so much about my opinion on Pau Gasol. He is not the 2nd best C in the NBA. The Lakers do not have the two best Cs in the NBA. Some of you guys need to remember this is a team that routinely got destroyed by the top teams and had to fight to the very last game just to MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Not only that, they are without their best player. The topic has diverted because someone claimed Gasol is the 2nd best center in the NBA, but he isn't, nothing supports this theory and there are a number of centers who have played better this season. My point is that the Lakers don't have the two best bigs in the series, they have no advantage over the Spurs.

I agree with you that Gasol is being used incorrectly, but that is irrelevant because it's probably not going to change in the system with MDA. He was absolute trash the beginning of the season, and almost every Laker fan here wanted him gone (I'm not going to dig up the topics, go look for yourself). If you don't believe Gasol is the 2nd best C, why are arguing with me? You literally came in to point out Bynum on my list and once again divert the argument. Can we talk about the actual subject? Or do you want to whine more about my opinion regarding Gasol's place on the list of top centers? Again, this topic is about a healthy Dwight being unstoppable. And this is not the case.

edit: also I thought I was talking to the same poster as earlier, didn't notice you were someone else :lol:

my bad
