Marc Gasol and Z-Bo appreciation thread

[TaLvsCuaL]

I'm biased but those guys are awesome. Marc is beasting this year and Zach is one of the most underrated players in the league in my opinion. Maybe not the best, but certainly the most entertaining duo in the league.

Give them some love.

Marc Gasol is the best centre in the league.

[ArbitraryWater]

Love the team and their fans... Like the Mavs very level-headed fans, and Z-Bo and Marc are 2 of my favorite players.

Saw them for the first time in the postseason in the 2011 playoffs and was amazed by their crowd!

[T_L_P]

They've been incredible to start the season.

Gasol is the best C in the league.

They've been my second team ever since they got Gasol. :cheers:

Marc Gasol = Rich Man's Pau Gasol


Z-Bo = Rich man's Julius Randle


fair comparision?

Not fair at all. Prime Pau is way better player than current Marc and Julius is just a rookie with potential and a lot to prove.

Marc now is better than prime Pau. Paus better at scoring in the post, Marc can score as well from range and is an equal passer. The difference is the defense and Marc is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

Marc/ZBo is gonna trash Anthony Davis

Do not want to turn this thread into a Pau vs. Marc. But I think a lot of people struggle to understand the crucial role of Pau in the success Spanish basketball. He has led his national team to several international titles and won 2 NBA rings. He has been the flagship, and has opened the door to many other players.

Marc is a great player and I'm probably his biggest stan on ISH but we can not forget how good Pau in the past.

This is incorrect.

Prime Pau was a more efficient scorer and he was giving you an extra 5 points. He was also a better rebounder, and a much better offensive rebounder. Passing is a wash. Defense is clearly Marc.

But Marc's production in the Playoffs isn't like Pau's. From 08-10 Pau averaged 18/11/3/2 on 55% shooting. 12-14 Marc averaged 17/8/4/2 on 45% shooting. Prime Pau was better imo.

That said, Marc is having a great season so far. Looks spry and aggressive. They're a top 5 team in the league when healthy.

Lets not forget that one of the 2 played alongside prime Kobe
thats gonna increase ur efficiency by alot (less defensive attention, passing etc)

Pau is a better scorer either way but the gap isnt as big as the numbers say

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

also lets not forget that Pau hasnt won a single playoff game in his career without Kobe, Marc has won series as the best player on the Grizz and took them to the WCF

Did someone just say Marc Gasol is better than Prime Pau Gasol?

Smh..

[TaLvsCuaL]

Davis is a force of nature but hopefully they will be able to handle him well. Marc and Zach are pretty consistent players and rarely they do poorly, even in bad matchups. But they could have a bad day tho.

[FKAri]

Marc Gasol ballin man.

[AnaheimLakers24]

if u value defense u take Marc
you never saw prime pau on the 09 lakers :facepalm

[andremiller07]

Sucks that Marc and Z-Bo don't have more firepower around them to take pressure/create more space for them, I wonder how many assists Marc could average playing on a team with lethal outside threats like GS or Portland.

[SpanishACB]

Pau admits Marc destroys him in 1v1 and has always

[TaLvsCuaL]

9-1. Z-Bo 17pts 22rbs 5 asts and Marc 23pts 8rbs 3asts 1stl 2blks and Conley is playing great and being clutch as ****.

Give them some love guys.

Really?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Pau admits Marc destroys him in 1v1 and has always
Really? Pau seems like a better 1-on-1 player.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Really?
Stop this Pau vs Marc shit plz, just admire this team teamwork and solidness.
