Davis starting? Hmmm...

[dabom]

..oppps! I don't play. That's too bad on Davis. Seems like an icy hot kind of dude.

Fathead just cold all the time I see.

Bertans is too frail he’d get posted up, outrebounded at center, Gasol is a better 3 point shooter, a better passer, and has a better post game.

Pau is not a better passer.

[tholdren]

And that doesn't make him a better 3 point shooter.

Would like to see contested v non contested stat

[Mr. Body]

Pau is not a better passer.

Lol

[8FOR!3]

And that doesn't make him a better 3 point shooter.

Is it really that funny, Bertans can’t do enough other to stay on the court long enough to shoot enough 3’s to make him a more reliable shooter than Gasol. Obviously I was a bit misspoken, no need to rub it in

[Ice009]

What a ing stupid idea.

I've seen no improvement whatsoever in him. He's actually regressing and playing worse from what I've seen so far, and you want to start him?

What center posts up now? This isn't the 90s...plus he was the best defender on zbo in the playoffs... So I vehemently disagree with you

Over Gasol? YEA!! what has Gasol shown?? That he is a worse defender and rebounder than last year?

[duncan2k5]

Gasol is a better player than Davis.

Gasol WAS a better player than Davis... Stop living in the past... The amount of points Gasol gives up is infuriating

And draymond green couldn't break the rotation over David Lee... Now look how that ended up...

[spurraider21]

OP gots like 99% posts. It's kinda hard to do really.

Really? You make it seem so effortless though.

I'm surprised you didn't just spam a quote tbh.

You'd have to start Aldridge at center and let Bertans start at PF to even have an argument. And I'm just not convinced that Bertans/Aldridge is a better lineup than Aldridge/Gasol, not to mention Aldridge probably wouldn't be content with starting at the 5. Joffrey would look better starting at the 5 but I think he'll probably play better with the bench. Look I'm not a big fan of giving Gasol the contract we just gave him, I really don't like him starting at center either and would be a lot happier with him playing on the bench, but I don't think Bertans starting at center is the fix. Bertans hasn't seemed to get any better.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Davis hasn't shown me he can do much more than shoot threes at this point. He's a chucker...which certainly has it's place in this league, but his game needs to round out better. I'd love to see the kid start getting boards, but that will require a bit more meat on the bones.

[Nathan89]

The intrigue of Bertans is over. He's awful at defense and he'll remain awful.

[duncan2k5]

We'll see...

Arguing with someone who denies reality is pointless.

Pau, for all his faults, is a better player than Bertans right now...by a mile.

And Pop is never going to start Bertans (or anybody) just because "they aren't Pau".

[dabom]

I remember Pau neutralizing the rockets bigs towards the end of that series. I still remember.

[dabom]

Beaating rockets is better than winning a Championship some might say.

Gasol is definitely not a better player right now than Davis... He does nothing better except maybe pass... U are thinking of the old Gasol... Whatever positives Gasol brings is all taken away when he messes up a possession with a soft post up, or touch fouls the opposing guard on a pick and roll for an and 1 (he maybe has the worst pick and roll defense of all time)

he doesn't even have 10 fingers.. and you want him to start?

Still better than Gasol... Halfway through the season, you guys will be calling for Gasol to be benched... Bank it

*You heard it here first

[Cry Havoc]

At this point I'm just hoping bertans proves himself as a rotation player. Starter seems like a pipe dream.
