Mid
Lakers frontline though![]()
Mt. Hibbert was supposed to have a big year and be a defense stalwart, anchoring the Lakers defense to a 6th seed.
mid, hibbbert has been a bum ever since he got cucked by george, pacers gave him away for a 2nd round pick, let that sink in![]()
I know. But you guys believed pre-season that Kirby would motivate him back into his all-star form.
I always give props go Gasol even though he's soft. Silver medalist (Weighted gold medal since USA should be the de-facto champ unless the team is lead by some cuckold of a system player) and was one of the major forces in a repeat - something only a real champion like Shaq, Jordan, Magic, etc can accomplish.
Great big, perhaps the greatest international player ever below the likes of Dirk and Hakeem.
He wasn't a major force in the repeat, he was the force.
Did Colby play?
Yep. And Pau outperformed him, per par.
You need 10 men to play ball, pulpy.
No , which is why exalting team accomplishments make little sense.
Glad you finally came around![]()
A little disappointed, pulpy, you usually put more effort in your spins
Like I said, Gasol has my respect - at least the guy repeated. I'd rather have that on my resume than some MVP![]()
Repeats are team accomplishments (they're actually not an accomplishment at all since you don't get an additional trophy for them). MVPs and stats are personal accomplishments. Rating players by the latter makes more sense.
Completely not surprising game from Pau Gasol. Fantastic player.
The problem he's had, since 2011 is his playoffs performance. He goes from a sturdy 21 and 10 regular season guy to a meaningless 14 and 7 weak defender in the playoffs. Seen this movie before.
It fits your schtick, I understand that much pulpy. Repeats are a quality of greatness, that's a reason why Shaq, Kareem and Hakeem are all a tier above Duncan. Heck, Shaq did it twice in a row - the greatest player of his generation (players drafted from 90-99) validated his talent with that to throw him into the top 5.
I could put those numbers up vs the lakers d.
Then you talk about Duncan getting a bronze in the same thread.
Dear.
So much gold in this post some of it subtle some of it not so much ...![]()
Bull , as usual. Bird never repeated. Its all about the rings. Theres no space between the banners.
When you leave Vegas, no one cares how many games you won. Its about your winnings. 5 is 5. B2B is fan candy.
Otherwise Zeke is better than Bird.
Though it does set in your mighty heavy.
Christ, you'd be like imminent for a triple come June if it weren't for shortcake Battier doin' Duncan that-a-way.
That doesn't make any sense. The triple would have been last year and we couldn't get out of the first round.
Shouldn't have let Kirby run off MVPau, tbh.

I've already shown that Duncan plays much better in repeat attempts/campaigns than Kirby. In fact, Duncan's performances are typically better in a repeat attempt year than they are in a le winning year ('03 excluded).
This was as true as recent as last season when Duncan averaged 18, 11, 3 on 59% shooting against the best frontline in basketball in the first round that culminated with a 27 and 11 on 69% shooting in a road game 7, at age 39
Facts, they are stubborn things.
