Davis would be battling my Mavs, Memphis, and Phoenix for those last two playoff spots and a minimum 45-37 record if he had Ricky Rubio.
Love sucks, he just does.

[QUOTE=Milbuck]Davis is on a shitty team with a mediocre coach and players that are either inconsistent, unreliable, injury prone, or flat out bad. Oh yeah, he's also 20 year olds and in his 2nd season in the league.
Love has decent talent around him and a great coach. There is no excuse why someone of his caliber has yet to make the playoffs in his sixth season.[/QUOTE]^this

Anthony Davis will be a winner very soon.

This... Davis is a developing player who will still get better. You can give him a pass if he has yet to learn how to win.
Love should be at the peak of his career, and for some reason, there is just a disconnect. He just can't seem to figure it out. Yes, they play in the west, but is there an excuse losing to Charlotte tonight?

Not a fan of Love but it seems strange you're criticizing him while propping up a shitty player like Rubio. Inexcusable for an NBA player to be unable to hit a jumpshot or finish inside.
Kevin......Durant

Other than geography.
If Minny was in the East, they'd be the 3-6 seed easily.

He has been horrendous this season.
As a Wolves fan I will say that Davis is better.
Love shoots too many 3's and plays no D whatsoever. Really is incredibly overrated.
One is white and one is black. Take a wild guess.
Love.
Love would purposefully miss wide open layups just so he can get an offensive tip-in and pad his stats.

Love does not suck. Love's team this year without him on the court has been a ****ing train wreck.
They are a pathetic minus 9.4 points per 100 possessions with Love on the bench. Conversely, they are a plus 8.4 points per 100 possessions with him.
I don't like Love...and definitely think he's not quite as good as his stats, but he doesn't suck by any means.
The blame on Love should come from his poor late game play. And when the margin of error is so small...crunch time play is very important...and Love and his team have been shit late in close games...and that's on him.
But Love's horrid bench play or just his team play without him is the main cause why the Wolves aren't good. Hard to blame Love if when he's on the court for 37 minutes a game his team is outscoring the opponent easily...and then he goes to the bench for 11 minutes a game and his team gets killed.
There is noise in those numbers and blowouts (like I said above the Wolves have sucked in close games), but the truth is that if Love was getting the kind of bench play some other guys get...his team would be winning 55 plus games.
Take Lamarcus Aldridge, for example, his team is only minus 1.1 points on their scoring differential without him.
The Clippers are plus 1.5 without Griffin...
So...I agree Love should have this team around 45 or more wins, but I think we are being too hard on him (me included)...
Davis is doing what he's supposed to be doing.
One who does not see AD as the next KG has no business talking about basketball.
OP is part of the homosexual community
I say neither they both play for bad teams. what are they supposed to do score no points and not rebound
