No crap sherlock.Howard however is a world better defender,shotblocker athletic, rebounder and younger.No sane GM would take Gasoft over Howard.
he never said he would take Gasol over Dwight he simply said Gasol is a better post player which is 1000% true. If Dwight can be half as good as Gasol in the post and passing, then we will have a bright future
But it's true Gasol is one of the most polished post playeres in the post, way better than robotic Howard. However at his age, he hasn't been as effective before in the low post and would only decline
D'Antoni sounded pretty professional in that interview. I detect no butthurt. And he basically said the the truth. It does seem like Kobe and Howard were clashing, and D'Antoni lack the Zen powers to solve the conflict.
Yes, Gasol is amazing in the post. Explains why D'Antoni misused/benched him for Superstar Earl Clark...that worked just great.
Dwight has much greater impact, no doubt. But Pau's post game including scoring and passing is leaps and bounds better than Dwight's, no question. And one of my biggest fears is that McHale may be tempted to post up Dwight all the time though that is not what he is good at. McHale was so dominant in the post as a player he really may be tempted to live it again through Dwight, but that's not how it works. Ideally, you maintain our run n gun offense and have Dwight gives picks to Harden and Lin while packing the defensive end first and foremost. I'm sure they'll figure it out but there's nothing wrong with saying Pau is better than Howard in the post as it's true.
lmao, the only people getting butthurt are Rockets fans. WTF was D'antoni supposed to do? Say that Dwight Howard is awesome and Pau sucks? Furthermore what he said was TRUE. This thread is pretty sad.
