Not so much on this forum but I've been hearing a lot of sports analysts and people on forums saying that we should be worried about how Gasol performs against Denver because he "chokes" in the playoffs. So I had to do a lil breakdown...
2004 vs. Spurs (2nd best team in the West)
Gasol: 18.5ppg, 5rpg, 2.5apg, 1spg, 1.5bpg on 57.1% shooting
Grizzlies core: Mike Miller, Bonzi Wells, Shane Battier, James Posey, Jason Williams
Although they were good enough to go 50-32, they were by no means anywhere near ready to face the Spurs. But 18 ppg on 57% doesn't look like a choke job to me.
2005 vs. Suns (best team in the West)
Gasol: 21.2ppg, 7.5rpg, 2.5apg, 0.5spg, 1.7bpg on 48.8% shooting
Grizzlies core: Mike Miller, Bonzi Wells, Shane Battier, James Posey, Jason Williams
Despite their 45-37 record, they had to face the team with the best record in the West. This was Nash's first MVP season, and he had Stoudemire, Marion, Joe Johnson, and Quintin Richardson with him. But again, them losing the series isn't a reflection of Gasol, he managed to improve in every statistical category other than blocks and fg%
2006 VS. Mavericks (2nd best team in the West)
Gasol: 20.2ppg, 6.7rpg, 3apg, 0.5spg, 1.2bpg on 43.3 % shooting
Grizzlies core: Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Chucky Atkins, Eddie Jones
They were only 1 game away from winning 50 games again (49-33). Unfortunately, they had to face the West Conference champs that year, and this time their core was a lot weaker. I will hold Gasol accountable for this: his rebounding and shooting was horrible.
Bottom line: you can't judge a superstar for being on weak teams. This year Gasol has the best player in the league and the greatest coach of all time behind him. Don't label him a choke artist till he's givin a fair chance.
-
Cause he has never seen a playoff victory at all.
-
New Team, Diff Situation..
won't matter this year bro.
-
Cause he has never seen a playoff victory at all.
Yea...as the first option. Lets see what happens when you take an elite franchise player and put him in a secondary role. :-X
Memphis was always a decent team, at best. No way should they have even won 50 games with those rosters. Gasol is a true competitor.
-
Cause he has never seen a playoff victory at all.
Like I said, he always had to face one of the Western Conference's juggernauts. You can't hold that against him. I don't hold it against Mike Miller, Bonzi, J-Will, or any of those other guys. Those were just decent teams who managed to overachieve themselves into a fuckin dead end.

Atleast win a game.
-
when you got bryant and odom taking off the scoring and rebounding pressure for you i'm sure he'll be doing fine in the playoffs.
-
atleast Tracy Mcgrady can win a game lol
-
seems to be doin good right now
-
1st playoff win: 36 Points, 16 Rebounds, 8 Assists, 3 Blocks :o
-
First of all.. i don't see him getting enought respect for that but.. this dude has won an European Championship for Spain. That's a great competition, with a lot of great teams. And Pau played extremely well leading his Nation to the glory. That said, his record was 0-12, true. He never really had a chance, tho'. I mean Memphis was always been the worst team in them 3 series, so i can't blame him. Like NIK said, he's an excellent 2nd team option.
Anyway... 36 pts, 16 rebounds, 8 assist.. you can update the record to 1-12. 8)
-
36 pts? choker?? naw that sounds more like T-Mac
-
well you can now officially erase that notion!
-
Gasol shitted on them suckaz.
-
LOL @ the thread title

LOL

Well, to be fair...He killed in the playoffs. It's the Finals where he's been having trouble...Then again, it's his first time there.

Pierce has done pretty well. KG and Ray Allen are historic choke artists though. I seriously still have no idea how KG was even in the MVP conversation. I guess its not entirely his fault though (at least this year). I have no idea why Doc Rivers isn't posting KG on the low block against Gasol/odom/whoever 2 out of every 3 plays. He can't be stopped there. He starts choking when he settles for those mid range jumpers though. Weird strategy.

LOL@blaming Doc for KG being soft and shooting jumpers instead of taking it in.

Doc definitely isn't drawing anything up to get KG posted on the low block. Lets not act like Doc isn't a horrible coach all of a sudden. He was inches away from being fired until Ainge threw the Celtics future away for KG and Allen. Rivers was widely regarded as a shit coach until he had 3 stars to make him look good.

WTF are you talking about? KG has ALWAYS been soft and passive...LMAO. There's a reason he only made it out of the first round ONCE during his career with Minnesota. KG is not a clutch player. He's not an aggressive player. He's not a player you can depend upon...You call Gasol soft, and then you blame Doc Rivers for KG's softness...Don't ever try claiming you're not a Laker hater again...PeACe

You're grasping at straws now. You just really wish I was a laker hater for whatever reason. I didn't even mention anything about the lakers and in fact I have noted in an earlier post that KG is a historic playoff choke artist (again, what does that have to do with the lakers?). All you're doing by trying to call me a laker hater in a post that doesn't have anything to do with the lakers is confirming what an insane laker homer you are.
Now, moving on to something that has to do with the lakers that YOU brought up, yes Gasol is soft, and if KG is soft as you claim, then Gasol is exponentially softer as he gets abused by KG anytime the Celts have the common sense required to post KG up.
Acknowledging this FACT does not make me a laker hater. It means that somebody for the Celtics can't see the obvious if they arent posting up KG way more than they are. I would point my finger at Doc since he's supposed to be the brains of the operation.

KG DOESN'T POST UP CONSISTENTLY BECAUSE HE'S SOFT! What don't you get about that? That's like me saying "oh, Odom can take KG off the dribble any time he wants to!"...sure he can, but if he doesn't do it on a consistent basis, you blame it on HIM, not the coaching staff. LOL. Learn how to analyze basketball. Gasol, as shitty as he's been playing, has outperformed KG in these Finals. Gasol is a power forward playing the role of a center, thus making him look even softer than he is. KG CHOOSES to shoot 20 foot jumpers, that's a big part of his game. I don't wish you were a Laker hater, in fact, I wish NO ONE hated the Lakers... I'm simply stating the obvious. The fact of the matter is, you diss Gasol for being soft as fuck at any chance you get, but as soon as KG shows his softness it's "oh, the coaching staff isn't telling him to post up!". LMAO. Get the fuck outta here, man. You've been on Crack Wilson status these past few days...PeACe
-
why would a person take so many long 2s to begin with? take a 3 for more points or get nearer to the basket for a higher %. it's not like he's taking those off a flashy dribble or anything.

Show me where I said its ALL Doc's fault. Doc deserves some of the blame in KGs ineffectiveness too. A coaches job is to know your staff and utilize their abilities in ways that maximize their abilities and overall benefit to the team. I have already acknowledged at least 3 times now that KG is a known playoff choke artist so Im not blaming Doc alone, but you can definitely bet a lot of the blame rests with him.
And just for the record Gasol has not outperformed KG. Look at the finals numbers for both of them:
KG vs Lakers Gasol vs Celtics
------------------ --------------------
pts- 16.6 pts- 15.4
reb- 12.8 reb- 10.6
ast- 2.8 ast- 3.6
stl- 1.4 stl- 0.6
blk- 1.0 blk- 0.6
to- 3.2 to- 1.6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd hardly call that "outperforming." Maybe he outperformed in winning the hearts of laker homers the world over, but thats about it. Pretty comparable numbers (with the slight edge going to KG) for guys that I think we can at least both agree have not lived up to their billing to this point.

Why do you always think stats determine everything? LOL. Watch the games. Do you realize Garnett is Boston's MVP, and yet has come up shitty in pretty much every game? (9-22, 7-19, 6-21). THIS IS A 7 FOOTER, THEIR SUPPOSED MVP!
By your logic, you can hold coaches accountable for ANYTHING. Lamar decides not to drive it in, but rather shoot jumpers=Phil Jackson's fault. Gasol plays soft and acts passive on offense=Phil jackson's fault. Do you realize how dumb your basketball logic is? GARNETT HAS ALWAYS PLAYED THIS WAY. Doc, himself, is wondering why KG doesn't post up and take it strong more often. He probably has nightmares about it. LOL. Come on, now.

i bet the fag hugs his kobe pillow while he types all these posts all mad. this shiet online is like his nerdy ass lakers treehouse.

You criticize every Laker players game...Pau's numbers are on par with KG, yet I've heard all these Laker haters talking way more trash about Pau.. You do know that KG is supposed to be clearly the better player, right? And Pau is struggling. KG is 100% to blame for that, and you need you acknowledge it. Doc has to do with KG's softness just as much as Phil Jackson has to do with Pau's...Not an argument, I just call it like I see it...PeACe

No need to talk shit, I'm simply stating my case about how KG is responsible for his own ineffectiveness. Not my fault if you can't keep up.

1. The role of the player is not to override coaching decisions.
2. Paul Pierce is the Celts MVP clearly
3. I don't know who "all these Laker haters" are, but I have knocked both of them for the shit they do wrong. PAY ATTENTION. KG isn't soft, he's a choke artist. Pau is both.
4. What Laker's game have I criticized besides Pau? Saying Kobe was Shaq's sidekick is not criticism, its fact.
5. Nobody is blaming Doc Rivers for KG's imaginary softness. The coaching staff IS responsible for drawing up plays that play to its rosters' strengths and not its weaknesses. Doc Rivers has not done this.
-
1.So you really think Doc Rivers coaching decision is for KG to take 20 footers instead of being aggressive and taking it to the hoop? LOLLLL. Wow.
2.Yea, Paul Pierce is the MVP because KG choked...LOL. KG was supposed to be the MVP going into this series.
3.According to you, Pau is soft and KG isn't, despite the fact that KG is known as a passive offensive player who never thinks shoot first and settles for jumpers. See what I mean?
4.Anyone who calls Kobe a sidekick is an idiot. You have proven who you are with these ridiculous comments these past few weeks. There's a reason Kobe and Shaq were called a 1-2 Punch and a Dynamic Duo.
5.I dunno if you know how basketball coaching works, but set plays aren't called on each possession. LOL. the players dictate what happens on the court most of the time and if KG gets the ball, Doc River is HOPING he takes it in and scores in the paint, as opposed to seeing him shoot 20 foot jumpers. Unfortunately, KG IS soft, and he DOES pass up big opportunities. Like Vic the Brick says, a gutless player.
-
LOL@blaming Doc for KG being soft and shooting jumpers instead of taking it in.
exactly, and hes so athletic and could be so domiant, but he plays soft on offense...and never demands the ball when the games on the line..
-
if Celtics pull this off...KG can now take "choke artist" off the list...that nigga is dominating under the basket

He was inches away from being fired until Ainge threw the Celtics future away for KG and Allen. Rivers was widely regarded as a shit coach until he had 3 stars to make him look good.
WTF are you talking about? KG has ALWAYS been soft and passive...LMAO. There's a reason he only made it out of the first round ONCE during his career with Minnesota. KG is not a clutch player.

KG DOESN'T POST UP CONSISTENTLY BECAUSE HE'S SOFT! What don't you get about that? That's like me saying "oh, Odom can take KG off the dribble any time he wants to!"...sure he can, but if he doesn't do it on a consistent basis, you blame it on HIM, not the coaching staff. LOL. Learn how to analyze basketball. Gasol, as shitty as he's been playing, has outperformed KG in these Finals. Gasol is a power forward playing the role of a center, thus making him look even softer than he is. KG CHOOSES to shoot 20 foot jumpers, that's a big part of his game. I don't wish you were a Laker hater, in fact, I wish NO ONE hated the Lakers... I'm simply stating the obvious. The fact of the matter is, you diss Gasol for being soft as fuck at any chance you get, but as soon as KG shows his softness it's "oh, the coaching staff isn't telling him to post up!". LMAO. Get the fuck outta here, man. You've been on Crack Wilson status these past few days...PeACe
an LA fan calling KG soft? LOL
