    You don't pay enough attention. Had I thought that, I would have thought Love was a better player than LMA.

    I don't, and never have. Derp

    Watching Kevin Love try and complete that turn around jumper at the buzzer would be comical

    One day people on this forum will value skill sets correctly instead of reading off advanced statistics from basketball-reference.com

    I have no idea how anyone could ever want to trade Aldridge (especially for GREG MONROE)

    Teams are forced to double him because he's too much for one guy to defend. He can get his shot whenever he wants 1 on 1. It's that fucking simple.

    That's an invaluable quality for a player to have, and it's the first thing I judge players on.

    Aldridge scores 5 points in 5 seconds. He tied it with a three pointer then received the inbounds with 1.5 secs and hit a turn around fade away for the win as time expired.

    Corrected it for you. :)

    His body language sucks. He doesn't look enthusiastic. He should have joined the Army.

    Pretty amazing shots to win the game - gotta give him credit. Clutch shots. If he continues to play like that I'll change my opinion of him. But it's got to be a pattern first - I'm not going to flip-flop every time he has a good or bad game. Was last night a case of being a blind squirrel, or is he turning over a new leaf? Only time will tell. But today I still don't believe he can be the centerpiece on a contender, or the PF that does all the little things. Last night he really came through though.
    And I still believe that in order to dramatically improve the team it's going to be done through trades, and trading LMA would go the furthest in addressing our major areas of weakness.

    being able to get his shot off at will is the main skill that earned Travis a 10 year NBA career so far. Its a valuable skill that most players don't have... that list includes most of the other top PFs of today
