I don't watch both players so I'm not going to pretend. You're so dense tbh. I'm tired of the trolling threads, just flipping the script a little bit hoping to incite some basketball discussions.
That said, your post didn't make sense, dip .
You should at least until stat padder plays in a playoff game before making your stance

Can someone at least, please support this claim? Lots of baseless takes are being thrown here.
It makes sense to Americans.
SMH
So you don't think that teams ignore certain players and just focus on shutting down the rest of the team? Love gets his points because no one is afraid of losing to them. If Love was on a powerhouse team, he'd not get those stats.
Ignored in the Dallas supremacy was Marion's defense, Kidd's leadership on the court and TC's leadership in the lockerroom, instilling a swagger into the team, a sense of en lement that carried over to the court. Kevin Love es about guys who aren't even playing not being in the huddle while he's out there stat padding the game away. Dirk just went out and dominated the entire game, and left his comments to the post game presser.
Yeah, K Love's Iso game is comparatively to Diggler. And he doesn't seem to have the capacity to expand that aspect of his game. You look at his offensive game and there isn't one thing he does extremely well in an isolation sense. Face up or post up, it's all meh, for his reputation. Dirk is a number one option, franchise rock, whereas Love is a 2/3 level player on a true contender. Realistically a 3. And for being such a dirty work superstar, his defense leaves a lot to be desired. To me they're not even in the same category.
Put Kevin Love around that winning core and you don't think he can elevate the Mavs?
Not a fan of Love but I think he's been unfairly criticized in this forum for failing to carry a ty team. Start with a PG who shoots 30%, a dyslexic SF in Brewer, and a chucking SG that only knows how to play a game one way
Not even a remote chance. This is stupid if anyone believes they would come close to sniffing anything beyond the 1st round.
By the time the 2011 playoffs started, Dirk had already played in over 100 playoff games at an extremely high level. Including a trip to the NBA Finals. Love's next playoff game will be his first.
^It's been what, going on 5 years for me here (off & on)? Mel finally hit cogency.
Congratulations.
Apparently getting a rebound = stat padder
Getting a rebound =/= stat-padding
Deliberately not playing defense at all and ONLY rebounding = stat-padding
Shoving your teammates out of the way so you can get the rebound = stat-padding
If you don't put an effort to rebound or put any numbers at all= you suck.
All great players stat pad. you should know that by now
Better question is if the Lakers would have won the le in 2011 if they swapped Kobe and CP3.
Most great players actually contribute to winning, Love only cares about his stats....
Has this been proven by anyone who watches the Wolves regularly? Ive seen a few games, sure, but nothing in Love's approach suggests he only cares about stats. Dude is going HAM in effort.
I've watched him play plenty.... he plays no defense at all, partly because he's just not good at it and partly because he's so hyperfocused on padding his rebounds, which show up on the box score.... he also has plenty of games where he puts up big numbers and then disappears in the 4th quarter....
Ill take your word for it.
Love is Lebron's height. It would be too easy for Heat defense to key on him.
You have Spurs fans here who actually think a 6-year guy that hasn't made the playoffs once can beat the 2x defending champs and the big 3 Heat... with a team that went 2-7 without their star.

Any cop-out to avoid actually thinking.You should at least until stat padder plays in a playoff game before making your stance
I don't need to think this through
You said the Mavs were a stacked team b/c they had the 3rd highest payroll in the NBA... oh boy let's ask the mid-decade Knicks how that worked out for em.
