2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[Mecca]

Hollis Jefferson has missed 12 games
McCaw has missed 24

Do they count?

Um, no....lol

 

[msgkings322]

Agree.

Unless it's against the Clippers, same can be said about Marcus Smart.

When playing the Clippers, his worth is very visible.

* sobs quietly *

Tony Allen, Patrick Beverley, Andre Iguadala....

Their contributions can't always be measured by stats.

Draymond Green is another

 

[Mecca]

Draymond Green is another

Agreed.

He should have been the first name listed. But, I still have a little PTSD when it comes to the Dubs.

 

[dtgold88]

an old guy who may not have many years left in the game is going all out to win now? He's been trying to "win now" for awhile. Might be why it took so long to finally be able to being in an elite FA.

 

[Mecca]

Clearly.....though you have not said what you think. Robert williams on the same level as
Gasol or better?

I've probably only seen the guy play 4 or 5 times.

Athletic, gonna be a Capela, Deandre Jordan type.

But, if we are talking this year's playoff run or historically...

Gasol.

Both have a extended inury history this season.

But, only one has shown he CAN rise to the occasion in a high pressure situation.

If we are talking about the future, or factoring in salary, Williams.

That's like asking who'd you rather, Cp3 or SG-A.

Not so sure that's a good analogy. SGA is an all star, isn't he? Williams? Not so much.

No, he's not a all star.

Chris is.

But, your point is still accurate.

How's about Iggy over Kevin Knox?

One past prime, other young that has potential. But, hasn't shown it much in his first 2 years.

Doesn't matter if Iggy has been a part time player over the years.

You take his experience and championship mettle NOW, over what can be later.

Better.....but in this discussion I think we are talking about the now and in the now I would rather go into a playoff series with Iggy.....like I would Gasol.

MIGHT RWIII be better in a few years or sooner? sure, but the idea his missing games means as much as Gasol THIS season seems a little farfetched.

 

[Mecca]

JAG = Just a Guy (guessing you knew what it stood for but not sure). Not a hard guy to replace if you lose such a player is how I would describe a JAG.

Baynes is a skid-row version of Tristan Thompson.

A Bill Gates version of Biyombo.

Yeah, that's what I said.

If we are talking this playoff run, Gasol without even a 2nd thought.

seems fair. and I don't have this duscussion to put the guy down. He's a decent player and can help a team at times (we aren't talking end of bench guy by any means). Just not on the level a certain C fan has him IMO.

I mean, Pop let him go and they were OK, and the Cs seem to be doing alright without him.

lol... if you actually follow the discussion that actually happened... it wasn't a discussion over anyone claiming that Robert Williams III has shown himself to be better than Marc Gasol.

Other than that... @dtgold88 has it right.

The old SportsHoopla "I cannot refute what ya said" facepalm. well placed.

In fact it was you thinking the loss of williams meant as much or more than the loss of Gasol. It was you overvaluing your own player(s).

You be you.

When did I say what?

You make up so much pure crapola...

The last 2-3 pages has been you comparing williams III and Gasol. and not being able to realize that in the now Gasol is still the better player because you think williams might one day be good.

Emoji away, Deflection Boy

What I actually said is there for anybody to see.

I'll stand by what I actually said.

I'm sure you will. That is your MO....you made a number of comments comaring Gasol and williams, putting down Gasol, and implying losing williams means as much as losing Gasol.

your comment when told you must be kidding by comparing williams and gasol.....

"Not kidding and yes.

The obvious difference is one is young and the other is past it.

Again: C'mon, man."

Glad I could help catch you up on your comparing williams and gasol and making the absurd comment above that because RW3 is young and Gasol is older the comparison is valid....when in the NOW it is not.

Yes, I said that.

It's 100% true.

What is your trouble?

 

[dtgold88]

Yes, I said that.

What is your trouble?

My trouble? None. Just a sports forum. You are entitled to your opinion. Idea you think williams is on the same level as Gasol this year is more comical than troubling.
