Why Love over Blake btw?

by dmize Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:30 am

Shaq hates Dwight though... so I don't take his opinion on him seriously at all.

I think im going to go with Shaq and the Jet here, as much as I love Love (pun intended).

I prefer Blake because he is better at creating his own shot 1 v 1 and while Love is a better rebounder and passer, the gap isnt as big as Blakes ability to create his own shot compared to Love.

I'd take Griffin too. You can't really run an offense through Kevin Love(or at least the Wolves never really do). And maybe it's just me but while Love gets his numbers, he doesn't really impact the game as much as someone with those numbers should. Could also just be a product of being on a bad team IDK.

Of course, but still, he isnt wrong when he says Bynum has more moves on the block.

But he is about Bynum being better than Dwight.

More Versatile and has more ways to influence the game.

Blake needs to be in the post-even there he's a bit limted- or using his athleticism and stuff and I don't see that translating to the playoffs quite as well as Kevin Love's more complete overall game.

Kevin Love knows how to get to the line and Knock down free throws, that's a big factor for me.

I dont think its about being on a bad team, its just because most of his points come from getting offensive rebounds and putting them back in, then pick and pops where he can shoot jumpers.

You rarely see him take his man off the dribble nor post up on the block and go through a series of moves and put the ball up.

Other guys command double teams because they have a more dangerous skillset offensively.

by dmize Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:38 am

Anyway, they're battling tonight(Bynum/Dwight) so that should be a good game. I'm also gunna be watching Phoenix/Boston and maybe a bit of Minny/LA before I go out.

by Le Samourai Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:38 am

Just to be clear....that debate was ridiculous.....neither is the best Power Forwad in the NBA ffs.....sometimes I don't gt these guys.

Yeah, I dont agree with him on that. But he is saying the reason Bynum is better is because of his post moves, which he isnt wrong about. But the rest of us consider the fact Dwight is a better rebounder, shot blocker and more explosive around the basket.

But Love doesnt have any post up game, be it back to the basket or face up.

Well its easy to forget Dirk because he dont play like one and Pau is so underwhelming compared to what he is capable of people overlook him at this moment.

by Le Samourai Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:43 am

He's developed a slight post up game.......burgeoning his way inside and off the glass type of stuff, decent jump hook.

No he dosen't have much face up but he's developing coming of screens like Dirk.

I just think he's not the type of guy who can get frozen out of a game and I can definitely see that happening to Blake.

by Le Samourai Sat Jan 21, 2012 1:02 am

Football leauges really need to take a look at the NBA's website....it is utter class.

by McAgger Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:12 am

Love what a beast......That was one heck of a game. Rubio brings so much entertainment to the NBA. Love just showed why he'd be a better all around player than Blake with that dagger three. At the moment i'd take Love over Griffin anyday.

by The Franchise Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:24 am

Meh, Love shot the ball pretty crappy. He made some great players, but shooting 5 for 16 doesnt make me think Love over Blake anyday. The key factor in the game might of been Darko, if you let him get off for 22 points your going to struggle to win.

As for the Lakers, I didnt see it. But how is Fisher taking almost as many shots as Gasol and Bynum combined. I see Bynum got in foul trouble, but its still inexcusable.

by Le Samourai Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:58 am

Darko went to work lol.

by Le Samourai Sat Jan 21, 2012 12:02 pm

@Dani the thing about Fish is that we rely on him so much to make the right decisions.....he's the only guy on the team that can handle Kobe....which is pretty important.

I don't know what's his role on the team other than that because at the moment he's average to decent to straight up horrible in every other category.

by The Franchise Sat Jan 21, 2012 2:02 pm

Indeed, I agree. I think he would be a solid back up. But there should be no way he is getting more shots than Gasol...thats on everyone, not just Fisher.

Well what do you guys expect from Mike Brown !? This guy has no idea what offense means ... I have watched almost every game this season and my eyes we're bleeding in all of them , the offense is terrible they don't know what to do ... this is like when PJax retired for a season all over again . Gasol is also pissing me off ... wtf does he think he is Dirk !? I like his mid-range game , and that's a nice weapon to have but damn man post-up for f*cks sake .... They said it's a work in progress but that's only an excuse .... Mitch has to do some moves ...

Well yes, that is the problem with Brown. I think anyone who saw the Cavs offence could of guess this would be a problem.

I think the Lakers will make moves, because right now, they will struggle to get out of the West, let alone take down the Heat. But he will wait for the deadline.

by dmize Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:36 pm

If LaMarcus Aldridge got his rebounding numbers up, I'd probably take him over Blake/Love, tbh I still might.

by dmize Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:38 pm

Articles out today saying Otis might just let Dwight hit FA, he doesn't think he'll turn down the extra 1year/30m he'd get from Orlando over other teams. I think that's pretty dumb, get what you can for him before the deadline.

Yeah me too, but 7 boards a game is not good enough. Love gets more than twice that.

Also agree. But I would let him walk ahead of taking crap.

Knicks are 20-27 since the Carmelo trade.

Not Melo's fault but thats what happened when you gut the roster for one dude.
