    Completely different things saying a team won't make the playoffs and a team isn't a contender.

    See posts above. Team sport.

    Love isn't good, but is Aldridge any better? Why is Aldridge's DRtg worse?

    22-4

    12-13

    Stats don't matter. I want a team win, and since we do have the best PF in the game, we win by default.

    I truly enjoyed your argument, but it doesn't hold water. Please, enjoy the complimentary mint as you depart, it was a pleasure having you here.

    Twolves are in the west, not the East.

    Wait wait wait. So now you say team sport when talking about Love's stats only. But when we bring up the team, you want to talk about the individual only.

    That's classic. Oh, that's rich.

    They'd get at least the 4th seed in the East.

    That's like a 7 footer being proud that they just slammed on a midget

    Try this one on...

    According to 82games.com, when playing their primary position of power forward:

    LaMarcus Aldridge:
    Pts/48 Own = 30.1
    Pts/48 Opp = 16.8
    Pts/48 Net = +13.3

    Kevin Love:
    Pts/48 Own = 31.0
    Pts/48 Opp = 21.9
    Pts/48 Net = +9.1

    Aldridge FTW!

    And then there's that whole won/loss stat thing... Love is a stat padding loser.

    Man you cannot follow discussion at all can you?

    I talk about team sport when we are talking about the two team's records. I talk about Love's stats when we are talking about individuals.

    That's what logical people do.

    The Jazz would probably get the 4th seed in the east. Is that supposed to be some kind of accomplishment?

    By season's end, maybe 8th. When Kevin Love plays a single play-off game, then you can come back and I'll be happy to discuss any merits of his stats. ;)

    Or how bad the wolves are, since they can't hang in the west

    But logical people will discard that Love is helping a 12-13 club and still say stats. But when LMA is doing just as well in everything that matters and for a winning team, it's different.

    They are not mutually exclusive when you want it to be, they tie together.

    Logical people understand that.

    But that's the thing, LMA is not doing just as well.

    Congrats on having a young Zach Randolph on your team. You should be so proud.
