he's a better defender, a better facilitator, a better shooter, and a better player. Marc's PER is 17th in the NBA. Dwight is 53rd, below Zach Randolph.
In the playoffs the past 2 years, Marc Gasol's PER is 18.6

Dwight's is 22.3

In the regular season the past 2 years, Marc Gasol's PER is 20.2

Dwight's is 20.6




You lose.
So let me get this straight... Dwight averages a lot more rebounds, more points at a much better FG%, more blocks, yet Marc Gasol is a better center because he averages 2.6 more assists and is a better free throw shooter...



Dwight is better than Gasol. Dwight looks beastly in the playoffs. Marc has been bad the last two years.

The thread title has Playoffs in it. I assumed we were talking about playoff stats?

We were. But people in this thread didn't like the numbers, so they wanted to change the rules and say "look at the regular season too".

Now, y'all want to go back to playoff stats because you found one number you like better there.
Also, when you put both of them at per 36 in the playoffs, since they played different minutes per game, Howard averaged 1.4 assists, Gasol averaged 4.0.

So we're talking about a difference of 2.6 assists.

If that's the main thing Gasol has over Howard, then that is a pretty weak argument.
quote:

Gasol averages 4.5 assists.

Howard averages 1.5 assists.


That means Gasol creates 6+ more points per game for his team than Dwight.


So yeah. Kind of important.
That was in the playoffs.

What, now y'all are going to change the argument back to playoff numbers? What happened to the "small sample size"?
quote:

So assists don't count for centers?

lol... Gasol averages like 3 or 4 assists at the most. Dwight averages probably like 1 or 2.

So you are talking about 2 or so assists per game more. And it's not like assisting is super important for a center like it might be for a guard.


So Gasol has worse stats across the board, and you want to focus on a couple assists.
quote:

How about we give full season + playoff stats in order to get a full picture, instead of an incredibly small sample size against uneven competition?
Okay...

Regular season:

Gasol: 17.6 pts, 8.1 reb, 1.6 blks, .486 fg%

Howard: 19.3 pts, 12.9 reb, 1.8 blks, .592 fg%

That's fine.

I'll take the baby back bitch who is a better basketball player.

sorry dude. bronze medal goes to the team with the better regular season record

No, the medals were earned during the tournament. The regular season is like the preliminary races at a track meet to see who makes it to the medal round. We've been over this.

Playoff wins:

Gold: Warriors (16)
Silver: Cavs (14)
Bronze: Rockets (9)
4th: Hawks (8)
5th, etc.


Rockets with the bronze.

/discussion.

Hey at least we're not bragging about a mythical third place finish.

You're just jealous of the Rockets' bronze medal.

You know what else is odd according to this list...Ty Lawson doesn't seem to be a top 10 PG.

Who are the top-10 PGs in your opinion?
quote:

Why would you leave the top center in the league and first team All-NBA player out of the top 10?

That's dumb logic.

Some positions are more stacked than others.
You can't really go wrong with the top 5. It just depends on your personal opinion.

I don't think Kawhi Leonard or Marc Gasol belong in the top 10.

But the top 5 is fine.
I always have to laugh at these "apologies".

Oh.. the utmost respect, huh? You mean the person you were saying was a whore a day ago?
It's easier for me to tell if it's in or out watching matches on TV than it was from that close-up demonstration.

I'm guessing it's a lot easier to call in person than that video example.
I agree that they can certainly exceed expectations this year. I just think Simmons should pump the brakes a bit.
No way the Pelicans are in that mix. AD hasn't even won a playoff game yet. Pelicans are not title contenders this year.

Baseball and softball are not the same. Different swing, different throwing motion, different pitching, different strategy, etc.

To the lay person it looks similar, but a softball player does not have nearly the same experience as a former baseball player because it is two different games.
Or at least figure out what kind of steroids the Jamaicans are using.

I love how Rocket fans keep pointing to Ty fricking Lawson as their savior

Well, let's see.

Ty Lawson averaged 15 points, 10 assists last season. He averaged about 18 points and 9 assists the year before.

He's a top-10 PG. Him and a group of others could all be considered in that 8-13 or so range of PG rankings.


The Rockets made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, and yet they were missing something last year. I'm not even counting the fact that their starting PF and PG missed the entire playoffs. The whole year they were missing something.

And it was on offense.

Surprisingly, their defense was very good last year. Offensively they were missing another play-maker besides Harden. And, they were lacking at the PG spot.

Now, they've filled both needs. They have a true starting-caliber PG... a fringe all-star caliber player. They have also filled their huge need for another play-maker.

Lawson and Harden were both in the top 10 in points created by either scoring or assisting. Now both are on the same team. And there will be no lulls when Harden rests, because Lawson can still be a play-maker on the court.

And not only was the starting PG spot improved greatly, but now Beverley will be coming off the bench, improving the bench spot greatly as well.

They also picked up Marcus Thornton, who is a scorer who can get some minutes to score some points on offense if they need another scoring option.

Their defense last year was one of the best in the league... and now the offense next year will be one of the best in the league. If they can maintain their stellar defense from last season.. and there is no reason why they can't.. then they could potentially have a top 5 offense AND a top 5 defense.

Teams who are top 5 on both sides of the ball historically have won titles.
That might make sense if she was fighting men... but she's fighting women.
