weren't people saying Kevin Love...

[riseagainst]

was putting up empty stats, even in wins? Why do fellow Cleveland fans now want him so badly? Sorry maybe not Cleveland fans, just lebron fans. I, as a lebron fan, actually feel indifferent about the potential trade. But why want some empty stat padder on your team?

Love makes the playoffs if the wolves happen to be in the east. the empty stat thing is so stupid, why people keep saying that means they're stupid too.

Saying he puts up empty stats is basically translated as, "Look at me! I'm disregarding stats and I'm seeing something you're not! I'm so much smarter than you". They basically think disregarding stats makes them sound smarter.

If Kevin Love wins a championship, it will be empty. You can't even have dude around at pool parties and shit. Dude shows up and the water is gone.

McFail, you just salty.

There is an old saying in the NBA ('tell us Gramps!') and it goes like this:

Great players win championships, good players make the playoffs.

6 years, no playoffs, other people took a lot more shit for a lot worse.

Did you read the first part of my post? Its not like he's guiding the wolves to the worst record in the league.

Good theory tho. Robert Horry> Durant

It's not that Kevin Love isn't overrated. Its that his game is suited to be the perfect second or third option, not someone you run your offense though

i have seen some posters say things like:

Kevin Love grabs alot of rebounds/offensive rebounds because he would miss shots on purpose just to stat pad his rebounds with put backs. That is why his FG% is lower than 50, or barely 50. Because he would go 1/2 or 2/4 with 2 offensive rebounds in 1 possession.

is this true?

I saw an interview with him where he talked about grabbing rebounds on shots at the end of quarters. He said no one goes after them and they can add 2 or 3 rebounds per game to your stats.

I don't understand this. 26 ppg on 59 TS% is a 3rd option yet 28 ppg on 50 TS% (Iverson 99-00) is a first option?

I think you base your scoring option off aesthetics of play rather than the ball going into the hoop.
