    lol You're seriously trying way too hard to push a narrative.

    Ok we get it, you think that Aldridge was so much better than Love this year. Fine by me, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But belittling Love's accomplishments and pointing out things that somehow no one else sees (i.e. none of his teammates like him, no one congratulated him, all GMs would choose Aldridge over Love etc.) speaks volumes about you, not Love or Aldridge.

    Also, Love, Aldridge and Randolph deserved to make it over Duncan.

    That's worth complaining about. This, not so much. Both are having magnificent seasons.

    The best 2 or 3 players from the best team always make the All-Star Team.

    There's always going to be the one or two guys who get the nod because of their past achievements. Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, and Allen Iverson just to name a few.

    Well, I only posted about Love not being congratulated by his teammates. I never belittled his accomplishments, nor did I say all GMs would choose LMA over Love.

    What was your point again, because you completely misrepresented by point, "Sex Panther".

    Brrrrawr!

    Blazers now ahead of Grizz in playoff standings. :)

    Some Admins here are probably upset about this.

    F Zach Randolph rang up 22 points and 17 rebounds against the Rockets after going for 29 points and 13 rebounds against Cleveland on Friday, and 22/13 at Minnesota on Wednesday. The man who was not named to the Western Conference All-Star team now has 37 double-doubles this season, including 23 20-point, 10-rebound games.

    Honestly I don't even give a shit anymore.... the mere fact that Aldridge is finally playing at the level that we thought he could is fucking outstanding. The guy is playing out of his mind and I love it. Keep it up LMA!

    He says that Duncan isnt an exciting player. Yo Kevin, you arent very fun to watch either!!! Not nearly as exciting as our boy Aldridge.

    Kevin Love is such a douchebag. Good Lord. He plays on a 13-win team, the coaches didn't respect his once-in-30-years stats enough to vote him in, and now he is dogging on Tim Duncan, one of the top 10 players of all times, and winner of 4 NBA titles.

    Meanwhile, "Mr. Excitement" Kevin Love has a whopping total of 17 dunks for the entire season, while old and hobbled Duncan has 20.

    EDIT - because the comments from Spurs fans after that article are a must-read.

    I was going to post the same sentiment, but you said it better than I could have. Repped.

    LaMarcus Aldridge is a better basketball player than Kevin Love. I don't really care about the all-star game.

    I'd rather LMA rested, but I'm pretty sure (and this is not cynical in tone) that he had some incentives in his contract that may have ridden on his selection, so I also feel (genuinely) bad about him not getting the bonus he deserves.

    I feel bad for him too, all I meant was that him being or not being an all star means nothing to me in regards to his level of talent.
