2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

Yeah Love won't start in all star game as long as Blake is healthy. Just because of the highlight reels Blake possesses.

K Love got a lil bit of erthing. He nice. We can say he is the best PF today.

But if I had to break it down and be real with it, he is ONLY the best rebounding PF as long as Dirk is in the league. He has no defense. But he is a great rebounder and scorer and is consistent.

You guys havent seen people say that Griffin is better than Love? Look at the all star votes, that alone tells the story IMO. Blake Griffin really dominates the voting over a guy that is clearly better than him, and has always been better than him. But he plays in a small market and Blake Griffin dunks a lot.

They can switch teams and blake would still get more votes, you can only blame the nba for forcing him into a superstar

Also Love has a very below the rim style, what Blake does is more exciting to some.

They really did force it.

Its not children making these votes though, these are people who claim to be basketball fans. Theres people who really believe that Blake is better than him. I've heard it come out of several peoples mouths.

I'm starting to get annoyed with all these Heat championship commercials not gonna lie. I didnt mind it in the offseason, but now it has to end. Its November now.

And Westrbooks defense is overrated. Physically he's a nightmare, but he slacks off and can get lazy. Until he can keep his focus every play, his defense won't be as good as it should be.

Overrated? 

He is the best on ball PG defender. He is not lazy. He is probably the best conditioned NBA player we have. Dude doesn't shy away from big moments. 

He's my favorite player in the league next to Lebron, I know he doesn't shy away, but I'm not talking about lazy in regards to his conditioning... but he falls asleep on defense too often and he'll slack off because he's so quick and athletic, he assumes he can close out in time or get to the ball for a steal.

He's got all the tools, but he'll make a few dumb mistakes that he shouldn't be making.

Again, who are these people? Couple guys at work? Doesn't mean anything. These ratings y'all are talking about come from nowhere

Real talk though..... David Lee is soooooo underrated.

Blake shouldn't even be making all star games if were talking skill level.

Zach, Lamarcus, KLOVE, David Lee, Dirk, Duncan should always make it before Blake does.

You are wrong.

Also David Lee is one of the worst defenders in basketball. He is NOT underrated.

Ok I see what you mean.

He definitely makes dumb mistakes on both ends.



But he is still a better than Rose. 

 

[grandtheftbike]

i think david lee allows the highest fg% around the rim of all big men

dragon domo or dojo or something like that

I've seen it with the people I know, the people in this thread, and in sports media.

Just a simple observation, nothing more, we all know Kevin Love is miles better than him, and thats what counts.

David Lee is an Elite PF in this league and IDC what anyone says. He'll never get the respect though because of his defense, but he has made strides in that arena.

See? Its already happening, that MIT Sloan article on him was the worst thing that could have come out about him last season. It will forever he harped on. Nevermind the fact that for the vast majoirty of the season David Lee had to play CENTER, which he is so ill suited for, he was out of position and playing next to guys like Landry, Ezili and Biedrens, they were just going to get killed in the paint period. David Lee is a better defender than those stats let on.

Don't forget Kevin Love is a white boy. Normally white boy get discredited in this league.

 

[lawdog1]

So, we're having another Griffin is overrated discussion? Yawn.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

why da hell is Deron Williams so crap?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i hate the Blake Griffin bashing.....over and over again

What?? Lol....... Ok

You understand griffin is also......... Just nevermind

 

[addict4sneakers]

Yeah I don't care about what the defense stats say about David lee. He rebounds, scores, and passes very well.

 

[cliffordsmith]

Its the NBA thread. We are going to talk NBA. 

 

[Bert.]

the fact that a lot of people think Blake is better than Love

Who thinks this?

Toooooo many ppl on here

exactly, there have been plenty arguments.

this season means nothing

Love>>>Blake

he does EVERYTHING better, he can post up, he can shoot from anywhere and everywhere on the floor with ease. He can rebound with a VERY good center right next to him.

the only thing they have in common is they both cant play defense.

 

[black migo]

K love puts up superstar #s no doubt, but if the casual fan doesnt care about that and it doesnt bring excitement, the nba isnt gonna push him because they cant make $$ off of him, thats why guys like blake, harden,pg, kyrie are up next on the leagues future superstar list, the nba is a business at the end of the day

 

[tommyicerocking]

i don't understand how Blake if overrated....who the hell thinks he is the best bigmen or PF in the game?

and Blake can do a lot of things on the court..good passing bigmen, he got handles, rebounds well, can score, great finisher, good IQ.

 

[calibeebee]

Russy ****** around and dropped 21 in his return hahahaha

 

[addict4sneakers]

Kevin Love is a great player and all, but he has to lead his team to the playoffs for me to go crowning him. And stay healthy.

David Lee has been a terrible defender for a while now, not just last year. He was a sieve in NYK.

Your last sentence might have some truth to it. The stats say that Lee is the absolute worst interior defender in the league, maybe he's only the 2nd or 3rd worst.

Yeah I don't care about what the defense stats say about David lee. He rebounds, scores, and passes very well.

That doesn't mean he's a good defender though. He's terrible, Bogut covers his ***

Crowning him for what?
