Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3609373, member: 652"] Gasol was single handily the difference in the Celtics-Raptors playoff series. He was such a negative player on the court I didn’t get why he played. He is a player living off his name. He wasn’t a good defender in that series and his shooting was down. The Lakers don’t need him to be anything more than a body. If they are expecting another Dwight Howard year from this year from him I wouldn’t expect it. The Harrel, Matthews signings just redid their bench. LeBron is going to definitely take some games off this year as he earned that with this deep title run. The Lakers now have a bench to survive it. If Gasol wasn’t injured in the playoffs then he is cooked. [/QUOTE]
