Kevin Love wants a roster upgrade

[jwinfield]

ok.. its OFFICIAL you have no clue about bassetbawl..

*turns on mode* to all your comments

Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks, NBA player stats
Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA player stats

89% of Dirk's shots are jumpers compared to 62% for Love.
11% of Dirk's shots are inside shots compared to 38% for Love.

 

[mayhem]

Stop shooting 45% from the floor.

Kevin Love's true shooting percentage (.568) is higher than Dirk's (.564) and LA's (.560). The only reason his overall percentage is low is cuz he shoots 5 three's a game.

 

[Real Talk of NY]

SMH at yall nikkas wanting the man to do even more. All he does is put up 30 30 numbers. You cant really ask the man to do more. They need to get him some help. He IS the best PF in the game and its not close.

 

[Premeditated]

I was just discussing this with some guys from my job and we all agree that Love seems like a "team cancer" for these statements...We thought he was a "class act" and "high character" player at first but upon further review, he seems like a "me first" player who is also possibly a "thug"...

yeah, he doesn't want to win "the right way." So much entitlement.

SMH @ people thinking Love is the best PF in the game.

Put Bosh on that Minny team and they make the playoffs every year, low seed..yet they will still make it.

You would easily get 24/11 from Bosh on that team as well, with a higher effeciency and world class D.

LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, NBA player stats

68% of Aldridge's shots are jumpers.
32% of his shots are inside shots.

 

[Real Talk of NY]

Its laughable to say LA or Bosh are better than Love, when LA and Bosh show no grit. Straight up jump shooters.

 

[ManBearPig]

in MY opinion of course

• First of all Lamarcus Aldridge is the best PF in the league right now

• 
  
  I have to laugh about that for a little bit.
  
  If thats true then the PF position right now is REALLY shytty.
  
  Blake, Love, Dirk, Gasol, and maybe even Bosh are all better than LA.

but that's just it. I don't need him to do more. The only thing he needs to do is let Ricky lead, because it's the only way he'll see the playoffs.

WRONG!

The only players with a higher PER than Love = LeBron, Paul, Wade, Durant.

The only player with a higher efficiency rating than Love = LeBron.

Put Bosh on the T'wolves, and the team's playoff hopes still rest on Rubio's knee.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I'll even say this (and I dare you to disagree): his defense is better than his passing.




Bosh was in a position to lead. Love is getting led. Therein lies the difference.

If he's not in position to lead by now than he's not a true superstar.

Supid excuse?..I thought it was just the way things worked. If your in tougher conference, its gonna be harder to make the playoffs. When you look at the fact they lost Rubio, there is no way in hell they should be making the playoffs in the West.

Your throwing some stupid basic excuses. Every team faces injuries and lets not act like Rubio was Steve Nash or something. Minny brought in a great head coach, and they have a team full of lottery picks. Those two things + a player making 20 and 10 should at the very least make an 8th seed.

 

[Maschine_Man]

dude gotta atleast make the offs on his own...maybe like 8 seed..lose first or 2nd rds

then ask for help..way to early


fakkit thinks hes bron kobe kd level

foh

C'mon its not like he's in the East

The west conference is ten times harder

i agree that the West is harder but sometimes people used that as an excuse.

Melo, Amare, Deron Williams, Tyson Chander, Mike D'antoni all had success when playing in the west. How they do playing in the East?

Melo= FG% down, 2 first round exits
Amare= same
Deron Williams= couldnt make the playoffs
Mike= not coaching anymore.

West teams are more stacked but is harder to score in the east

You're saying this to someone who hasn't called him a superstar. You're also saying this to someone who at times got roasted by people here when I say he's not the most important player on this team.

Your throwing some stupid basic excuses. Every team faces injuries and lets not act like Rubio was Steve Nash or something.

See underlined. What I've been saying for a while now doesn't look so far fetched anymore.
