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

[Hahahaha]

I'm never really impressed with LeBron's dunk. They're always on bums. That one on Damon was tough though :x



DeAndre is my dude but his dunk was pure hype. He's almost a foot taller than Brandon Knight and he can fly. It's like dunking on a kid. Still a great dunk but come on fellas, best in game dunk?

Didn't PJ Brown dunk on someone with the Celtics?

And my man Robert Pack had some great dunk-ons in his time (I suggest turning off the sound on this vid though - music is not good, IMO)

RT @KevinDing: Lakers-Bulls on Jan. 20 MLK Day has been removed from the TNT schedule. Lakers-Rockets on Jan. 8 was previously dropped by ESPN. #kobeout

And thus begins the death of the Lakers national TV love

Answer carefully, lawdog, because there is a correct answer.

Feel free to jump in.

I'm only floating the question because it was a hot button discussion in the office yesterday over Carmine's dinner.

 

[darthska]

Ab.

So.

LUTELY.

If you would have asked me 3 weeks ago, I might have said yes. But the way that Blake's been playing lately, I'm going to say no. If he keeps doing what he's been doing recently, I think Blake is the better overall player and fits in with the rest of the Clippers roster better. But its not like I'd be outraged if there was such a swap.

30/10-plus three of the last four games.

Exactly one of my points: 'the way Blake's been playing lately'

He'll have stretches, but overall? Love will be far more consistent.

And I would take Love's perimeter game over Blake's dunk game... all day.

Rebounding? Love's smarter, Blake's more athletic. Gimme smarts.

Then you throw in Love's outlet game, and it's curtains.

I believe Love to the Lakers is a foregone conclusion.

Not disputing anything, just wondering how you came to the conclusion that Kevin Love is smarter than Blake Griffin

 

[darthska]

^ At life? I have no idea who's smarter.

At rebounding? C'mon... that's not what you're seriously asking, is it? You meant how do I know he's smarter overall, at life, right?

Because rebounding... it's no contest.

See, based on what you just said, I can tell you haven't really been paying attention to Griffin this season. He's been scoring in many more ways than just dunking. He's a better post-up player than Love, more consistently requires a double team and his perimeter game is getting better and better. He's also up to 70% from the Line. Aside from outlets, he's just as good a passer as Love, if not better. And he's definitely a better defender. They used to both be bad, but Blake is decent now, while Love is still terrible.

So, all that is why I'm saying that I'd take Blake.

JR Smith dunks are always impressive. that ally oop he had last year was sick.

Blake's best dunks are all ridiculously bad offensive fouls
