chaiway 416 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Man, he swallowed up Josh Jackson... literally took the ball from him with a block without even jumping. Gotta appreciate players that just take it straight at your C without a real shot of getting it over them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheBoondocks 440 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 What a filthy line today (excluding the FT%, yikes). As someone who had faith and drafted Gasol I'm happy with what I'm seeing. He's in great shape, and despite not being as agile as he used to the basketball IQ is there in droves. With Conley back he seems to be playing with added vigour. Grizz also 4-2 and seem intent on making a push. This guy is top 40 easily if he stays healthy this year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Gasol stays healthy. IMO they are a mediocre team at best unless JJJ starts playing better and fouling less. They are pretty weak at the 2/3/4 spots and both Conley and Gasol have to play well for them to win. They have played a fairly soft schedule - Phx, Atl, Sac, Wash, Ind, Uta with the win at Utah as the notable one. Gasol does look good, especially with the quick hands and bbiq, the man's a thief Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would they shut Gasol down again? What are they saving him for? He's 34 on a team that is a LONG way from competing for anything more than playoff births. The Grizzlies were out of playoff contention by the second week of the season and Gasol still went on to play 73/81. They're healthy this year. And this organization, like a lot of other small market teams, just want to stay relevant. They may not have enough to be an obvious playoff team, but they certainly have enough to stay relatively competitive. Edited October 31, 2018 by tremixt 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XOrad10 1,165 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Marc Gasol is on his last year of contract and next year is his player option. So I am pretty sure Marc will play and Grizz won't rest him to be on his "good side". Last season, Marc wasn't shut down with Conley out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In roto if a player misses 10% of the games you can simply deduct 10% of value from that player and still have a solid player. But in H2H if a player misses 8 games and they all come during fantasy playoffs which causes you to lose that match well.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah in h2h playoffs it comes down to having more games played, but I find streaming spots to maximize the games played anyway so not that big of a deal. For example finding a player to stream on the off days (tues/thurs) give u an edge, basically no ones undroppable besides your studs. Also, u need to make the playoffs first Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They may not have enough to be an obvious playoff team, but they certainly have enough to stay relatively competitive. I wouldn’t said it if it didn’t happen to me. Memphis weren’t in playoffs picture last year. Marc played 3/4 games in week 22, 2/4 games in week 23, and play prattically 4 games in week 24 which two games he score under 10 points. If u draft someone like him last year in the third round, u expect him to give u that value when u need him the most in the playoffs. Now at the age 34, why would the Memphis run him down when they can develop JJJ and other youngs, they are obviously in rebuild mode once their playoffs run is out of the picture. They can try to stay relevant but they just don’t have enough firepower to compete on the west. I’ll take my chances with guys like Capella/Hordford/even DJ over a 34 years old Marc Gasol. I don’t care how much he plays, I’m saying he will rest when the games matter the most, he can rest all he wants in the start of the season but if the man play 2/4 games in a semi of fantasy, what value is that then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm saying that Gasol isn't a candidate for shut down. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csklmf 408 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Gotta love his out-of-position assist and steal, 3, 5, 4 last 3 games, it's insane. I don't think you need to sell high on him. He will produce. Memphis got nobody. Edited November 3, 2018 by csklmf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The steals are amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hipriest69 840 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I also like that he leads the league in front court touches...he's always a relevant part of the offense. Now we need the blocks to come back...he'll get one of those 8 block games soon... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flat_eric 362 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Grizz were looking like a reasonably competitive team until they lost to the worst team in the NBA today. That loss resides with Marc after a phenomenally insipid performance. As a big man when your shot isn't falling you need to get in the paint. Disappointing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
