Kevin Love is the best power forward in the NBA vol. 2

[certifiedflyboi23]

Quake plays a different position?

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Wait, I thought it was common knowledge that Love is the best big man in the world today? Who begs to differ? C'mon y'all...

It should be my man.  But unfortunately, its not.  Especially around these parts.

I would still take Serge over Love. Also in today's NBA people are rotating positions so much you could say Love is a center and LeBron is a PF. Yes I know that isn't their natural positions

 

[luong1209]

Always believed this.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I'd still rather have Dirk. He's more efficient and better on the block. And he is still one of the best closers in the game. The mavs will make the playoffs and twolves probably won't.

But love is balling.

I'm still right

The thing is we know why the weird discrepancy between Love's point/rb stats and the team's record exists.  It's because he's one of the worst rim protectors in the league, he will shift out of the way of drivers to box out for rebounds, and the numbers bear that out.

I believe he and Pekovic actually have the worst defensive % at the rim in the entire NBA.

Yes sir this is 100% true. Those two guys give up an extraordinary amount of baskets at the rim.

I also think he can become at the very least an average defender if placed in the right situation.

BG and LMA I can see but Ibaka? No No way I I would take him over Love. I don't think he possess the skillset to dominate on offense the way Love does.

great thing offense is only 50% of the game. Ibaka shoots a better % and changes the game defensively.
You can't tell me Love would put up those same numbers on the Thunder

Love would also shoot a higher percentage if he was on the Thunder. He would get much better looks than the ones he gets now.

He wouldn't get the same numbers but he would be a much larger offensive threat than Ibaka.

I think most people would agree if they were building a franchise they would take the elite defensive player thats still above average on offense over the great offensive player but mediocre at best on defense

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

I want to see him play with a PG that can actually command opponent's respect from beyond 10 feet before judigng his team record

I know there is no way of proving either side, but I think you are out of your damn mind. No GM would choose Ibaka over Love. Not a one.

 

[JD617]

Ibaka is not better than Love, let's be serious. 

But LeBron is essentially a PF at this point so this is all kind of irrelevant.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Quake is averaging 25 and 10. What a force

 

[dland24]

So what's better than a force? Because if 25 and 10 is a force, what is 26 and 13?

 

[sea manup]

decent statline tonight

Kevin Love can't take over a game like quake

LeBron is the best player at every position.

 

[antidope]

Finally got past that 9 assist barrier. Needed it too I'm in fantasy playoffs and the is kind of close.

 

[airjordan jb23]

:x :x at the damage he's doing this month

Absolutely baseless post.

Quake can't win against Memphis.

 

[dland24]

In February:

34 PPG

14 RPG

4 APG

But he cant take over a game like Griffin can. 

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

"Since Jan. 03, the date of Paul's injury, Griffin has averaged 28.2 points per game on 56.8 percent shooting."



How would Kelvin Love do without his starting PG?

 

[bostoiah]

I'd take Love and Aldridge over Griffin. Anthony Davis over all of them. 

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Anthony Davis is made outta paper mache
