    Aldridge, and it ain't even a little bit close. Two words: Defense, defense, defense.

    Love. He's got a game that reminds me of Webber. He's triple double trouble at the PF spot.

    Everybody bashing Love's defense compared to Aldridge just doesn't make sense.

    Last years stats:

    Love: DRtg- 104
    DWS- 2.3

    Aldridge: DRtg- 106
    DWS- 1.6

    How is Aldridge a better defender exactly?

    You mean last year when all the long tooth vets quit on the team and there was absolutely no help or any other defense? I love it when minuscule sample size stats without constraints are used to make a point. Lies... damn lies... and if they fail ---- statistics. :D

    Sounds like a whole lot of excuses.

    Love is a 20/20 guy. He'll score 20 and give up 20.

    The league is becoming more and more athletic.

    Speed kills. Just look at the finals.

    LMA - it's not even close, really.

    Easiest choice I've ever been given: the best Power Forward in the game or a borderline All-Star? A player who averaged over 13 rpg last season or a player who averaged 8 rpg?

    I mean, is this not really a no-brainer?

    There are several other PF's I'd take over Aldridge in the West... Nowitzki, Randolph, P. Gasol, and Griffin,... just to name a few.

    The man just hurt his hand, not his knee or back. He'll probably be back earlier than expected.

    Randolph is a idiot off the court and Griffin is just as injury prone as Love is.

    To be the best power forward in the game you need to play D. Funny that of the guys you listed only one is any good at defense.

    Wallace had more physical talent than LMA, yet he never once scored 20ppg in a season.
