At this stage of his career, Dwight Howard is playing for the win while Kevin Love is seeking for personal stats.
for this team I'd rather have a motivated asik and kevin love instead of dwight and a disgruntled asik
As much as I like Love, he is like junk food. Just empty calories. He does not make defenses shift at all standing at the 3 point line.
In response to the thread title: Duh. Are there seriously people who think Love is a better player than Dwight Howard right now?
To win a championship I'd go with the Dwight scenerio. Lets build around that. Kevin Love will be Brad Miller in a few years if he keeps getting hurt.
a PF taking 30 shots per game yet with only 40% of accuracy? sounds like a good plan. not sure Harden and every other player in this team likes that.
Kevin Love is just a Stat padder who doesn't make his teammates better...great players are suppose to make their teammates better...
Why bother? Howard is one of a couple of players in the league who can dictate the outcome of a game nightly, while Love is one of the many who won't make much a difference for any game.
In his defence, it's hard to make Bud, Brew, Ronny & that big tree stump they had playing center tonight much better. Rubio's father must've been a brick layer, and while Shved is decent, he is very inconsistent. Love would flourish on a contender, but at the moment he is surrounded by donkeys treading on the wings of eagles.
Kevin Love is a very gifted, skilled offensive player but he is not a winner and I feel at this point you can't build a championship caliber team around him. Dwight impacts the game more than Love even though he has less skill therefor I'd rather have Dwight.
That's what I'd want if Asik doesn't buy in. I used to want Love, but with Tjones playing as he is, if we can find a wing defender who can shoot 3s (Battier of years ago) who can slow down Durant, we'd be TOUGH to beat.
kevin love is not just playing for personal stats...but he is not on the level of dwight howard in terms of impact in a game. kevin love can't be your best player, its the carmelo anthony syndrome basically.
