what context should I post? highlights? dwights stats are so far and away better than marcs... he shoots 57% from the field :snoop:

So now you admit to blatantly lying about watching just about every single game?

This is why dudes shouldn't talk on teams they don't watch, because instead of watching the games and seeing first hand the impact that players have - you just run to the box score and make your opinions from there.

If Dwight was any type of force hed have the Lakers putting up more of a fight. Watching dude on offense is:snoop: while watching Gasol has you:merchant: at how he pulls off some of the things offensively. He looks like your typical big euro scrub center, but hes one of the more fundamentally sound bigs Ive ever seen.

Man shut the fukk up... I just told you the stats... I watched damn near every fukking dwight howard game this year so shut up please... You did not... I did... so if you wanna go off subjective there you go I have more of a base than you... furthermore if we talk stats dwight's are WAY better... What other measuring stick do you wanna use? Explain to me? You say hes a better defender... show me how? How is he a better scorer? How? He has more post moves... he scores less on a less efficient clip... end of discussion... you arguing with your own dikk right now not me.

So you're telling me you watched Lakers games but no other games? And you wonder why I ain't taking your opinion of Gasol seriously?

so if you wanna go off subjective there you go I have more of a base than you...
How do you have more of a base than me when you don't know what games I watch?

furthermore if we talk stats dwight's are WAY better....
There we go again, 'if we talk stats'...... :comeon:

What other measuring stick do you wanna use? Explain to me? You say hes a better defender... show me how? How is he a better scorer? How? He has more post moves... he scores less on a less efficient clip... end of discussion... you arguing with your own dikk right now not me.

How about the measuring stick, of I don't know - maybe watching the Grizzlies play on the regular? Have you thought of that one?

Gasol has about the same defensive impact in that: he stops dribble penetration from being on the right spot on the floor, he hedges hard enough for the defender to get back in position, he deflects perimeter players to the weak side and traps them, he forces teams into taking out of sync jumpers, he closes down paths from perimeter gamble-defense, etc etc. I mean there's a long list of things he does at an elite level on the defensive end.

He has more offensive impact, because he stretches the floor with his shooting, he doesn't clog up the lane, distributes the ball in the halfcourt on the regular, makes smarter/faster decisions, better touch around the rim, knows how to space the floor, doesn't wreck offensive momentum, doesn't cause turnovers etc etc.

Really breh, Marc's Simple Rating of 7.6 is higher than Dwights of 5.6 ... Marc also has a higher PER although not by much

sorry but Duncan has been a C for years, you would know if you watched them play

Yeah even Popovich admitted this a while ago. When you guard the center and are guarded by the center then you are a center. Tim hasn't been a power forward since around the time David Robinson retired.
