LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, NBA player stats

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

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.

The west is better but defense is tougher to come by if you were to talk about individual stats


It's also tough when your starting (rookie) Pg goes out with an ACL injury

The west is by far the tougher conference from top to bottom

The east may have the best team and in fact have some great teams at the top, but outside of 2-3 teams the east is complete trash


It's not really an excuse here. you just have to take everything in to account when judging why the t-wolves haven't made the playoffs base on Love alone.

is team before last year was trash, add Rubio and they were actually playing pretty good and in contentioin for a playoff seed before Rubio got injured


they were 26-40 to finish the year but ffter Rubio went down they went 5-20 (tank mode)

so before Rubio got injured they were 21-20. Which isn't too bad

Whoever thinks Love aint the best PF in the league obviously doesn't know shyt about basketball.


:childplease: at people trying to mention fukking Bosh is better, he damn sure wasn't putting up the stats Love was when he was on the Raptors, some people don't understand the term of a stat padder, Like Minny is blowing teams out, and Love is shining against scrubs, his 200% effort every game is making the shytty TWolves somewhat respectable, you can't stat pad rebounds thats 100% die hard rare effort. Brehs let it go let the cac's win for once in sports, Love>>>>>>>PF right now:smugdraper:


Cant wait til Love go to a different team and shine

Bosh at least had his team in the playoffs fukk stats.

and

even if Love did lead his team to the playoffs, he'd get expose. His weak defense ain't ready

:stopitslime: in the fukking East, how many sub 500 teams made the playoffs, teams that miss the playoffs in the West, would damn near be a 3 or 4 seed in the East

I think some of you are taking the "Greatness" quote out of context....

He's ONE OF the best PF's in the league, this is undeniable. I do believe that what he's saying is that he can't alone take his team to even the playoffs when a lot of the teams nowadays are stacking themselves with "Big 3's". This is the same kind of frustration I'm sure Kevin Garnett felt during his years putting the Timberwolves on his back basically by himself. Garnett, back then, was enough to get his them to the Off's year after year but in 2012 it's a different league. I HIGHLY doubt Love is going to allow himself to be suckered into staying with the wolves out of "Loyalty" the way Garnett was. Love sees the writing on the wall...
No one was taking shyt out of context. What you said just now is probably true on a general level, but this dude straight talked about greatness surrounding itself with greatness in reference to himself as wanting to be surrounded by greatness as well. This dude is not that ill to be talking like that. There's about 6 guys in the league who can call themselves great. He's not one of them.
