He only had one or two good games. There were numerous times where I was gritting my teeth and thinking that Ibaka should have had the lion's share of the playing time that Gasol had.
Does this sound like griping on the day after a championship win?

I understand what you are saying, but his averages were pretty decent (12 and 7), and you have to look at the playoff run as a whole.
Marc was not as ideal in the finals, but in the Eastern Conference Finals and against the 76ers I doubt the Raptors would have won if not for Marc.
He is a savey dude and did exactly what he was supposed to do. Danny Green was the one I was the most disappointed with in the whole playoffs. Had a game or two, but barely moved the needle overall in this run.
