Gasol is a finesse player, Odom barely has any ability in the post(especially against good defenders), and Bynum can't even stay on the floor with his tendency to foul instead of play defense..
All impact players, but their bulk won't be a problem IMO..maybe Bynum if he can consistently get to his legendary(!!!) 5-game peaks..
Gasol is obviously a top player btw, I'm just saying it won't be any different..Duncan has never consistently had problems with Gasol in the past though..
I found it with an early August date. I'm waiting to hear from a couple of people, I'm hoping I get it confirmed.Quote:

Weight has nothing to do with strength. See St. Pierre, Georges.Quote:

I agree.. There's something really weird with the way duncan looks.Quote:

God damn, its like you copied and pasted my post from realgm.com
Oh wait, you did.

I think the weight loss will help him to play better than he has in years.
Wow. Is Clutch City 01 Tacker? I thought Tacker had the plagiarism title.Quote:

There have been a few Duncan sightings the last few weeks and all have said what you have. He's noticeably leaner, we would have known he lost weight even if Ludden hadn't broken it.Quote:

A healthy Tim Duncan is always reliable, that's the key..we all know that..and this is why he had to do something for his knees..as long as he's healthy, we'll be fine..

Gasol is around 240 so whatever strength advantage had against Gasol, it's gone now.
Not to mention when we turn the Human Bowling Ball Blair loose on softie Gasol and Bynum. Which is not to say Laker does not have a formidable front line.Quote:

He hasn't been able to jump for years. I think what they're aiming for is for him to be able to pivot and push off that sore knee.Quote:
