Why do people want Kevin Love? He doesn't play defense...

    I'll be the first to admit... I've only seen about half of the Rocket's games this season. But, it seems to me that Houston has no problem scoring points.

    Their problem is stopping the other team from scoring points.

    So why would the solution be to get a scoring big man that plays no defense?

    Because right now they're playing well with a PF that can spread the floor.

    Now imagine what would happen if they had a PF that can spread the floor and give you 10+ rebounds every game.

    There really isn't a need for offense.

    I'd rather see the Rockets pick up a more well-rounded player.

    No one ever agrees with me but I do not want Kevin Love on our team either.

    Do the Rockets have trouble rebounding right now?

    Is that one of the reasons they give up a lot of points?

    Why do you want to start a new thread. It doesn't offer anything original....

    The guy is injured, so for those of you that don't consider him a superstar. check out his 30 / 30 game.

    some games, it feels like we cant rebound at all.

    looking at this:
    http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/reboundRate
    our rebound rate is average, #1 in defensive rebound and #23 in offensive rebound.

    Young+super star+PF, which is exactly what we need.

    The guy is also a drama queen that quits on his team. Do we really need another Tmac "superstar"?

    Harden doesn't play defense either, and I like him just fine.

    Timberwolves management warranted that.

    since when is questioning your team record equivalent to QUITTING?

    Twolves haven't made the playoffs for some time

    Harden plays defense when he feels like it. You'll get blocks and steals 50% of the time and wide open layups the other 50%.

    Don't need another one. Wait, are we really comparing Love to a superstar of Harden's caliber? LOL. F that shet.
