He's argued until he's red in the face. At this point there's no going back and admitting he's wrong.
I'm not wrong, though. Love's PER has been lowered because of his advanced shooting stats. Comparing him to other players with similar advanced shooting stats doesn't really prove anything, other than Love is a good player on a bad team, and he isn't a #1 in spite of his #1 stats. He'd be a great #3 on a title team. I already posted this, didn't I?
He's a 20 and 15 player. Probably the most skilled rebounder since Rodman and puts up 20points a game. His offensive game is much more than being a garbage man. He's hitting 3's at a 40% clip.
I stand by my opinion of him. A great #3 on a title team, but his stats say he'll be paid as a #1. A stat beast on a bad team. How many times do I have to type it?
20 and 15 is #3 on a title team? I say #2 on a title team. Have you changed your opinion of him since your "he wouldn't start in front of LMA days" or were you wrong about him?
lol. Your relentless. Aldridge is no better a defender. 20 and 15 players aren't bench players on mediocre teams like the Blazers and they certainly aren't coming in off the bench behind a player with a PER of 16.
Why compare Love's PER to players who carry their teams to the playoffs and then not hold him accountable for being 5-14 or w/e it is? Sure, the next best player on his team is Beasley(who's playing very well btw). For Roy the next best player is Aldridge and Beasley is just as effective as a player right now as Aldridge is. Roy made it work, why can't Love? I mean his PER is so good just like Roy's!!
It shocks me that you want to jump in this thread after all the shit talking you've done about Love in the past. Only to be wrong. Go back and check to see if those guys carried their teams to the playoffs in their 3rd year. I know Duncan did. Did Garnett, Gasol, Bosh and Malone?
Show me all this "shit talking" about Kevin Love. You mean mentioning he shoots a low %? Gets his shot blocked as much as anyone in the NBA? How is bringing up facts "shit talking"? And show me where I'm wrong. UM.. Yeah, you compared his PER to the best players in the NBA today. You must have forgotten. Still 5-16, but it's okay though ! His PER is so high yay!
He shoots a low %? Dude shoots 45% from the field and 40% from 3. You're wrong. Where do you get this stat that he gets his shot blocked the most in the NBA? He plays on a shitty team, I find it hilarious when people bring up his teams record to indicate anything. All it shows me is that he has horrible teammates around him. He still faces the same competition as the rest of the league.
I'm sure at the time I posted I mentioned his poor shooting percentages and the fact he was shooting under 40%. Again, a fact. How was I wrong? And he's shooting 44% right now which still isn't good for a PF. His career 45% isn't that great either. Again, all facts. Keep comparing his PER to the best players in the league, though. Maybe one day Love will get his team to win??? I mean, his PER is so high after all.
Don't be mad because you were wrong, bud. Its okay. 45% is about average for PF. His 40% from 3 is above average. He's still got a higher FG% than your boy Aldridge. While doubling his rebounding average. Where's this shot blocked stat that you speak of?
You're the one obsessing about a player on a 5-16 team, while killing a productive player on the Blazers, bud. I know the m.o. on this board is to bitch constantly about the team's players, and you seem to lead that charge. Sorry if not everybody thinks like you, bud.
Aldridge is a productive player? lol ok. As I'm watching Channing Frye outplay him. Do you still want to argue that Aldridge is better than Love?
