Kevin Love over Dwight Howard for ASG? Would that have happened if he was a Laker?

[Yao Ming's Foot]

No doubt Dwight will be bitter about this...

[Crafty]

He will probably be a reserve.

[Genaro]

No, because the Lakers has a huge fan base and would vote him in. But why should he be pissed? Love is having a better season than him.

[Levity]

i wonder if we'll start hearing complaints from players regarding the format of the starting 5.

[RightToCensor]

Kevin Love is putting up MVP numbers on a bad team. Of course people would vote for him. Plus, he's the great white hope.


This thread is a fail. 1/10

[alec613]

Lots of West bigs are having a better season than Howard.
If they didn't remove the voting for the center position, then Dwight would have been a lock.

Of course the biggest reason why he's not there is because he's one of the most hated players in the game. Not to mention majority of the nba fans in the world are Laker fans

[Rose'sACL]

is OP accepting that lakers being a big market influences people's opinion in a positive manner about their star and even role players?
I agree with that.

[russwest0]

Dwight Howard is a beta, so who cares.

He's not even that good TBH.

[Black and White]

Man this is an eye-opener as to how badly Dwights stock has dropped because of his decisions and the way he has handled himself.

[SpecialQue]

But Dwight is beasting and leading the Rockets to a high playoff position while Love is hating life and wallowing on a losing team??????????

[I<3NBA]

who was a Laker? Dwight or K. Love?

[SpecialQue]

Kevin Love got the Laker bump only because of that "everyone knows he wants to be a Laker" quote that was floating around.

Even imaginary Lakers are owning the All Star game.

Neither is Dwight though... I dont like to see center with any post moves whatsoever.

Dunks are not the only exciting thing. Theres also that three point shot when tou are hot l, or that ridiculous hail mary pass that result in a score. Or even a good pass out of the post that result in a score. Dwight is a horrible passer off the post.

nobody cares. he won't be making crazy outlet passes anyways. i want to see dunks.

So you're saying that on a team that has Durant and Blake Griffin leaking out, Kevin Love's amazing outlet passing ability won't produce some spectacular dunks?

You are indeed dumber than I thought.

[Droid101]

nope
Dwight is 35th among all Centers in assist rate. That doesn't really sound like an able or willing passer from the post (high or otherwise). Robert Sacre and Larry Sanders rate higher than him if that helps keep it in perspective.

Keep digging though.

[FireDavidKahn]

Then you should have voted for Dwight more than you did.:facepalm

[Levity]

Then you should have voted for Dwight more than you did.:facepalm

he probably couldnt get his parents permission

[Nick Young]

the world has woken up. Maybe this will be the wakeup call Dwight Scrubbard needs to start trying to work on improving his game.

[dgaras]

youre fvucking stupid. if you find any basketball boring then youre a little kid that doesnt know the sport. the allstar game should be about the best players competing not stupid dunks you can watch on youtube. go help your mom with the dishes.

One of the worst posters on the site.

ok. dwight is still a good passer out of the post though

[AnaheimLakers24]

houston already gave up on dwigt

[ImKobe]

ok. dwight is still a good passer out of the post though

Dwight can barely post up, not to mention actually operate in the post. :lol

One of the most overrated players in the league. He isn't a great offensive player except for his dunking ability, which hasn't been as great as it was in Orlando. Which is why he's averaging 18 a game instead of 22.

Tell me, would you take him over Anthony Davis or Demarcus Cousins right now? Dwight's defense hasn't been impressive either.

[Bandito]

nope
That response and facts:bowdown:

nope

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

No doubt Dwight will be bitter about this...

lol.....he would b starter if he was a laker

being laker comes with lot of perks if u r upto it......

kobe played 6 games is highest vote getter in west

[Jameerthefear]

nope
yes he is. la fans showing that intellect :applause: (except you bandito you're like one of the only likable lakers fans).

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

ok. you're wrong. and dumb

nope u r

[Yao Ming's Foot]

pretty sure Love didn't just suddenly become white this year

:facepalm

[no pun intended]

nobody cares. he won't be making crazy outlet passes anyways. i want to see dunks.
i guarantee he will at least once to either griffin or durant

[ImKobe]

ok. you're wrong. and dumb

Wow, what a strong argument! :applause:

I watched every game Dwight played for LA and I've watched him play for the Rockets, he doesn't look any different to me, maybe a little less turnover prone in the post now since he worked out with Hakeem and McHale in the off-season.

ok. i watched every game with him in orlando, most of the lakers last season, and most of houston this season. i am right.

[ImKobe]

yes he is. la fans showing that intellect :applause: (except you bandito you're like one of the only likable lakers fans).

Show us how Dwight is a good passer out of the post, please.

[Jameerthefear]

i can't watch the games for you.

[ImKobe]

I'm just trying to get you to make an actual analysis regarding the game of basketball, it's obvious that you don't have the experience nor the intelligence needed to put together a convincing argument on this subject.

[ImKobe]

i can't watch the games for you.

So you can't prove it. Got it.

[houston]

no it wouldn't had happened

[Jameerthefear]

So you can't prove it. Got it.
here ya go. http://stats.nba.com/gameDetail.html?GameID=0021300396

[Illuminati]

Dwight Howard has gotten over a million votes in all of his recent selections. No, it wouldn't have happened if he was in LA. He has more haters than supporters now.

[ImKobe]

here ya go. http://stats.nba.com/gameDetail.html?GameID=0021300396

A box score from December 21st proves that he's a good passer on a consistent basis?

click the assist stat by his name. i could list a bunch more but it's just showing you that he is a good passer out of the double team and can get it to cutters.

Go to 82 games, take your time sort through the different centers/big men in the league.. Howard has one of the worst passing ratings of them all

like i said: i don't really care. i base my opinions off of what i watch. and since i've seen dwight play longer than any of you guys i'll take mine as the most important.

[Mr. Jabbar]

best center in the league my ass, glad dwight isnt getting overrated by the fans anymore

[RightToCensor]

Dwight doesn't pass from the post a lot because when he gets the ball he is expected to score.

[gts]

like i said: i don't really care. i base my opinions off of what i watch. and since i've seen dwight play longer than any of you guys i'll take mine as the most important.
For somebody who doesn't care you sure spend a lot of time arguing about it...lol
