21Blessings is stupid troll,
no one feed him please.
Wrong. Pau actually has *gasp* a Post game, which is something that is lost to Dirk. Pau anchors the paint better than Dirk could ever hope for. Pau is also a much better passer.
Dirk would just chuck terrible fade aways while getting shut down by Stephen Jackson. Pau is a much better fit in the triangle.
Dirk choked in the finals, plain and simple. Just like he choked against Goldenstate. Born loser. I'll enjoy watching that joke of a MVP retire ringless.
You ing idiot. That 70% note was sarcasm.
It's no mystery the Mavs don't have a full-fledged "post" player. You think I don't know that? You think any fan of the Mavs doesn't know that? Their low post play comes primarily from Dirk backing his guy down, Bass and (on occasion) Dampier. Is it enough to put any fear into another team? Certainly not. But for you or anyone to think they're nothing but a bunch of perimeter players is asinine and thoughtless. They wouldn't be playing at this level if they didn't know how to play down low.
Will they try to find someone that can score in the post? Great question. The answer is likely 'yes'. Why wouldn't it be?
I'll ignore the rest of your bull as I know you think you're brave by hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet.
So, once (or is it three times now?) again I'll ask why anyone would think Dirk is soft? Since you like to be so brazen and speak up as a Laker mouthpiece, I'll assume you and 21 have the same line of thinking and must have the same beliefs.
I'd love to see the answer to this question-
Is Pau Gasol better than Dirk? Yes or no.
And while you're thinking that over -
America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.
Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat.
Gasol is better suited for the playoffs. Dirk is a choking jump shooter that disappears when it counts. Gasol is the same for every game and teams have no answer for him.
Pau and Dirk are both failures as the number 1 option on a team.
Simple fact of the matter is that Pau is a better fit on the Lakers than Dirk would be. The Lakers have no need for a 7 foot shooting guard.
Try again loser. I never said Dirk was soft. Please quote were I did.
What I did find interesting is how now it was "sarcasm" and every Mav fan knows they don't have one. But yet I've heard lots of Mavs fans say Jason Kidd can post up, or Stackhouse can post up, have you seen Josh Howard post up.
Just a second ago you were trying to defend that they could score in the post. I guess that must have been sarcasm as well.
As for trying to act tough on the internet. You might wanna look in the mirror and take a nice big cup of STFU!!
You are obviously are an idiot basketball fan that knows nothing about the game and as soon as someone points out how much of a ing idiot you are, you say it was "sarcasm".
Yeah we all believe you there shank, you're not an idiot of a Mav fan.
The Mavs got their fair share of bandwagoners, but no sports team in America (except maybe the Yankees) has as many frontrunning piece of fans than the Lakers. The ones that really irk me are all the ing celebrities. Funny how last year when the Lakers were getting ass ed by the Suns, all those y in celebrities decided to show up to Golden State games instead, claiming to be "close friends" with Baron Davis.
I guarantee you that before the Gasol trade, 75% of Lakers "fans" couldn't name more than 4 players on the Lakers roster. Kobe, Fisher, Odom, Luke Walton is probably it. Before the Gasol trade and that stupid ing "Machine" nickname, Vujacic was known as "that little white guy who doesn't do ". Jordan Farmar was "the guy with the Color Me Badd haircut".
Baron was raised in LA and went to UCLA. ing dumbass.claiming to be "close friends" with Baron Davis.
How so? He outplayed him on one leg.
And you'd be the first person to call him soft for not playing. And if the Lakers ever lost a series when Kobe was far from 100% but was out there anyways because his team had no chance without him, yeah, you'd let it pass without comment if people criticized him for it.
Yeah, sure he is. Soft guys don't play hurt. They don't get their teeth knocked out and then stay in the game. I don't think you understand what the word means.
4 years ago forum. Maybe on one leg he doesn't play any D, but your scouting report is a bit outdated.
When he has bone spurs. He had no problem with Stephen Jackson this year.
Right, which is why he's won 8 series and been to a Finals.
Maybe, maybe not. You will always suck a big bag of s, however. That we can say with certainty.
Are you trolling, or are you just that stupid? Curious minds want to know.
So did Ed O'Bannon but I don't recall any bandwagon Lakerfan celebrities traveling to catch his games.
Funny that you say this. Considering that Gasol won his first EVER playoff series this season. Thanks for proving Findog's point that you just started watching basketball because your team is now "good." outta here.
Gasol finally has a supporting cast. The key to success in the playoffs is a low post prescence. Gasol is it. Dirk isn't.
Gasol has always been a low post presence and couldn't get it done before. If that's all you need for success, then why couldn't he get it done before being traded to the Lakers? Gasol's "supporting cast" is the current MVP. I'd say just about any spare could get it done when they have to play 2nd or 3rd wheel to a guy like Kobe. Well, anyone but Kwame Brown that is...
And for all the lack of a low post guy, the Mavs had fared pretty well.
I would dare anyone to say that Gasol is better than Dirk. That's just idiocy.
And Purple and Gold (cute color combination) - it was sarcasm from the instant I wrote it. Is it my fault the public schools in California don't teach reading comprehension? You honestly think I, or anyone else, believes the Mavs shot 70% every game in the 2006 playoffs? Really?
Kinda like Kobe has been so far?
Right, which is why Kobe begged and pleaded for the Lakers to trade him to Dallas so he could play with Dirk. Dirk has always owned Pau. I would love to see what Phil Jackson could do with Dirk in the triangle.
Dirk has won 8 series and been to a Finals. Pau was 0-12 with the Grizz. I thought the "traditional" post presence was better?
Kobe has made it known he would rather play with Dirk than Pau. Kobe and Dirk is a much more fearsome duo than Kobe and Pau.Simple fact of the matter is that Pau is a better fit on the Lakers than Dirk would be. The Lakers have no need for a 7 foot shooting guard.
Kobe is like the basketball equivalent of Juno: like him just fine, hate his supporters.
Hi Saints fan.
.
He's not nearly as fearsome on offense, nor is he the mismatch that Dirk is. A team with Dirk as its best player has been among the elite of the League, won multiple series and made a Finals. A team with Pau as its best player has gotten broomed the out of the playoffs.
Dirk is a much better defender than Pau.Pau anchors the paint better than Dirk could ever hope for.
No, they're about even. Good God, you're not even familiar with your own team's players.Pau is also a much better passer.
No, the key to success is defense, rebounding, and teamwork. A low post presence just helps when things slow down in half court sets. But teams have won without dominant post presences like Duncan.
Hi Saints fan. Just FYI, but a team with Pau as its best player went 0-12 in the playoffs. A team with Dirk as its best player broomed Pau's team and went to a Finals.
Where the did you get that idea? He hung 27, 12 and 4 on your team. Did you even watch the Hornets-Mavs series.a choking jump shooter that disappears when it counts.
Right, which is why his teams went 0-12 in the playoffs with him as the #1 option. Yeah, teams sure had "no answer" for him. Meanwhile, Dirk kicked his teeth in two years ago and has won 8 series and over 40 playoff games.Gasol is the same for every game and teams have no answer for him.
ing idiot. This isn't Saintstalk, this is a basketball forum. Shut the up if you didn't start paying attention to hoops until the Hornets became good.
^Nice Work
That's why players like Duncan and Shaq don't win championships right? Low post prescence doesn't matter. Dirk 0 Championships btw. Even a 67 win team couldn't win in the playoffs without a low post player. When the game slows down and everyone knows the plays, you need someone to score in the low post.
