Love is not a legit superstar. You can not win a championship with him being your team's best player. He needs to accept a #2 role if he ever wants to win anything.
Excellent point. Just like I said, KL isn't made to be a leader imho. When he was playing in highschool or college or something he even dreamed of being Yao's companion, creating space for him and grabbing rebounds (which's why he focused his training on those aspects, I think, and specialized in those aspects as a result). He was born with beta mentality but was made to be an alpha. he can get his own job done but it's obvious he doesn't know how to lead a team. That said, he would be a good 2nd banana on a good team, for example, he would upgrade the Clippers to another level if he & monkeyball swapped jobs. And the current Wolves squad ain't ty at all imho. Pekovic is strong as and also has good fundamentals, a perfect blend of brawn and skills imho. If either of Derrick Williams and Rubio lived up to his potential, not to say both, then the wolves would be pretty stacked tbh.

I was going to say "if you give him Lebron's supporting cast...", but then he would probably be fighting Bosh for rebounds... he's that kind of guy, tbh
His team is more talented than plenty of others although poorly constructed. However, you start to see the clear cut difference in guys like Love and the Duncan's, Lebron's, KD's of the NBA. Doesn't mean Love isn't good because he's not those guys, however, you do need to check yourself when talking about him as a franchise guy.
They have ty perimeter play. Rubio is one of the lesser starting PG in the league. Brewer is a shooting guard who doesn't shoot and who has defensively regressed. Martin has a long history of putting up numbers on poor teams. Buddinger is a Rockets castoff and that should tell you something and he has been hurt anyway.
Outside of Pekovic and Love there is noone on that team worth a . Pekovic has been hurt and they are playing in a stacked western conference.
Love just is an easy target. He plays for a small market that doesn't even have a regular poster around here to advocate for him. People pile on but Love is one of the most efficient players in the league for all the volume that he produces.
He is a big who is shooting at a 40% clip. That is not efficient.
Love is a very good player. I have said that. However, he's not a franchise guy in the context of building around him like a Duncan/Lebron or even a Dirk. He's not that impactful. He puts up great numbers and does things sometimes that are not conducive to winning to get those stats.
You can win with Love, but you have to build a perfect team around him to cover up his shortcomings, especially defensively.
I personally watch a lot of basketball. I don't speak about him without watching him play. In fact, Love gets spoken about more than he should despite being in a small market. He has national endorsements, is written about quite a bit and is always on TV.
He also plays no defense and is hyperfocused on padding his rebounding stats even to the point where he shoves teammates out of the way to get cheap boards
Love is an extremely overrated loser, tbh....
Switch the albino monkeyballer with Love and flop city finally gets a 2nd round win... tee, hee.
I agree. I know some Lakeran are really high on him as a #2 option, but I think they'll learn to hate his softness as much as they learned to hate Pau's softness... I could be wrong, but that's my impression right now.
Nope. Griffin impacts the game by shooting above 50%.
Yes, because Love's really stepped up in the playoffs throughout his career.... oh wait
His PER has dipped every year he has been in the league. His 3PT percentage is very up and down. His FG% has been pretty steady all things considered, but his 80% plus FT helps his eFG. He's obviously talented, but he would never be able to take a team that is pretty good and make them a playoff threat. If he is going to be successful it will take a perfectly built team that can cover up everyone of his faults.
i've noticed Lakerfans are suddenly talking a lot about Love.
in time, he'll be shown the underside of the bus like MVPau before him.
Don't forget Dwight.... before the games last year, it was "J.H.U.T.T., his consistency and effort will be key in the playoffs, etc." and by The Begging and The Rejection they had already written him off as "soft" and " made"

this is true. I miss J.H.U.T.T., i'm guessing midnightpulp hasn't been the same since the Finals though.Don't forget Dwight.... before the games last year, it was "J.H.U.T.T., his consistency and effort will be key in the playoffs, etc." and by The Begging and The Rejection they had already written him off as "soft" and " made"
Yea Love is a great player but isn't really a leader. He doesn't get fired up or care about the score of the game. Comes in to get his and goes out like a white collar job. An excellent second fiddle to a championship team though.
46% when 1/3 of your shots are threes is excellent efficiency. I get that his defense leaves much to be desired but the man can ball.
Sounds like he's destined to be in a Clippers uniform sometime soon then.
lol premature ejaculators ass licking wankers with the double standards how Klove should be 2nd or 3rd option, but how come that doesnt apply to enrique?
i don't give a bad shot selection discount. he should take less 3's. he's not even terribly accurate with them, only having 1 season where he shot north of 40%.
