    If you polled every personnel person in the league, 100% would take Yao over Gasol. That's just a fact. Yes, Gasol did throw one down on Yao yesterday, but KJ threw one in on Hakeem's face as well. That happens. As Wesley Snipes said in White Men Can't Jump, the sun shines even on a dog's @$$ some days.

    If the Grizzlies aren't a force,what are the Rockets?
    Wait,I know it.The rockets are the team that did NOT win 50 games the last season.

    Yes,this is a fact.Yao brings you the money.
    In that era,money talks.Marketing talks.And in that area Gasol can't touch Yao.
    But in the court,Yao hasn't proved anything more than Gasol.
    I am not saying Gasol is the better player between the two,I think right now they are about the same,but certainly Yao is not that better than Pau.
    Maybe he is,but he hasn't proved it yet.That's just a fact.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but he's going to be a lot closer to the HOF than Gashole is. Hell, how many players actually get WORSE in their 3rd year ...well I know of one from Spain that has. So what should we expect from Pau next year realmadrid? 15 pts 6 rebounds? Yeah, he dominates... :rolleyes:
    But at least he dunked on Yao, I guess that's all you need to jump on his team's website and act like a moron by trying to rub it in. How very 10 year oldish of you...

    I'm just re-hashing what you said. So far all you've proven is your ability to forget what just said in your previous post. Good job son.

    Whom most of the league thought was more of a hinderance to the team than an asset.

    :D
    You don't usually watch the games,right?
    Stats don't say it all,smart guy.
    He averaged 1 point and 1 rebound less playing 6 minutes less and playing for a 50 wins team.And you think he got worse.
    Bravo.

    You can use excuses all you want, why don't you mention is fg%...a good indicator of his actual offensive effectiveness...ooops, I guess you forgot to mention that.

    Me not watch the games? Is this coming from the same gashole lover that thinks Yao's been dunked on more than Pau? Pathetic.

    Yeah,excuses.
    His FG%?
    From 50% to 48%?
    Wow,that's awful.I am sure the Grizzlies are about to cut him.

    LOL, yeah, winning 50 games then you can't even get 1 playoff victory. I guess the Grizzles have to celebrate something.
    You guys need to win a championship so you'll stop wigging out on something as simple as a dunk, it's really sad. Too bad it won't happen anytime within the next century. Oh well, you guys are probably use to it by now.

    Now you are being too humble. :)

    Not a bad roster at all

    With Gasol anchoring the front line, I honestly think you guys can taste a playoff victory by 2010. Go Grizzlies. :D

    LOL...you guys are so slippery. All I heard was how much better Yao was compared to Pau. When it is proven over and over again that Yao is not better, all I hear is...well we won a championship. We are running out of active NBA players on those title teams.

    Also, I wonder...how many years were you guys in the league before you won a title?

    The argument is Pau is better than Yao not what franchise has the better history...keep up.

    Maybe this season I can break this one out again and again and again...

    No, actually the argument is..." Pau dunked on Yao and we're wankers that have to rub it in your face on your own message board."
    Keep up.

    One fraking game and 2 championships 10 years ago.
    I don't know if Yao is somehow related to that 2 rings,but they constantly talk about it in that Yao and Pau thread.
