I went back and looked at the Game Log.   I was mistaken on a few things on my timeline -- by a fair bit.

He was injured in December 2019.    But he came back for 8 games in January 2020, a streak that I clearly remembered -- he was outstanding in those 8 games and played like a top 10 NBA Centre given his defensive acusmen.

In those 8 games the Raptors went 8-0, with various injuries and Gasol was key as the team was +77 while he as on the court.   He averaged 12-6-4 in 26 minutes a game and was playing really sharp defensively.   That period was his best as a Raptor.   In those 8 games he shot 53% from 3 as well, on 4.5 attempts per game.

But I thought that period was more than 8 games in my earlier posts.     In fact he missed the next 17 games before the Covid break with another injury.   Then the playoffs came and he was useless.

So the positives for Gasol last year were basically only that 8 game stretch where he was really good.   His body broke down after that / or he just hit the I am getting really old wall that hits fast.
