Yeah Boy! I regret what I said about K-Love: a pudgy-fat, surf-music loving kid...well, maybe he is, but damn can he play. White Moses Malone!
I agree with A_3PO. Screw the stat similarities, Harden doesn't compare to Roy. He controlled that offense 100%. He could do every single facet of the game better than Harden. Roy was comparable to Ginobili, if not better, simply because he could penetrate at will under better control...Roy could slow down the game while penetrating in a way that only a few PGs in recent history could do--and he was a SG. Harden is not at that level.
Roy was the best shooting guard since Kobe. He and Ginobili and Kobe were really the only sg's that matter. Unless you include Wade, who I think was more of a combo guard.
Love with 30pts/21rbs/4asts/3blk/2stl today. Wolves were able to overcome his stat-padding to pull off the win though.
i dont understand why he played 43 minutes tonight, even without Pekovic it was a blowout ... just to get a 30/20 ?
I don't know about that. B Roy would be in talks for the best SG in the game right now if healthy. Harden isn't there yet.
Unless you can carry any team to the playoffs ala lebron I don't think you should be considered a max player. Even kobe got smush parker and brown the playoffs.
Not if it takes the max. At Kevin Martin money, sure. If you have no defensive impact and you're a big, you better be as good offensively as Dirk, which he's not. To me that's not worth the max.
Well considering we can't get any max kind of guys so would I. Love averages around the same in wins and loses: 26-14 But when the wolves win he takes 2 fewer shots and averages a higher percentages and more assists. I am not saying he sucks, but he shouldn't be in the lebron, duran, kobe, wade, etc. level.
You wouldn't pay the max for Love? Are you insane? I can understand saying "I don't want him on the Rockets at any price", but saying he's not worth max money is idiotic. Top 3 PF in the league and not worth max money... SMH.
He might not be as good as those guys, but I think he’s the 2nd best power forward in the league after Dirk. The difference when they win or lose usually depends on if he gets any help from his inconsistent teammates or not. Put Love in Scola’s place on the Rockets and we’re a legit contender.
Why is Dirk still considered the best PF in the league? Does he do anything else on the basketball court besides shooting/scoring nowadays?
82games says otherwise. On Court Kevin Love is +9.6 in offense. Dirk is a +4.6. I don't get your point?
