Around The NBA

[Fez Hammersticks]

In the last five games Kevin Love has been averaging 19 RPG and tonight he has 16 rebounds halfway through the third quarter.

BEAST.

 

[MickZagger]

Love with 28pts, 19rebs and 3 asts through 3 quarters. Including 5-5 from behind the arc.

yawn.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

But he's white and can't jump so therefore LMA>Love

[/HCP]

 

[VanillaGorilla]

HCP is so racist.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

6'7.75" (w/o shoes)
6'11.25" wingspan

He's small for an NBA PF but he's the best rebounder the NBA has seen in years.

I doubt a healthy Oden would grab 15+ rpg like Kevin Love does.

 

[MickZagger]

Love has a very underrated offensive game too.

Everybody used to say, "oh, but he does it on a bad team". After tonight the Wolves will have 3 less losses than the Blazers.

Mediocre.

[THE HCP]

Fuck that cracker!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Fuck that cracker!

You just hate him cause he's a white kid from the 'burbs!

 

[THE HCP]

Honestly, those numbers are ridiculous!

 

[THE HCP]

You just hate him cause he's a white kid from the 'burbs!

And your point is? I hate all white kids from the burbs!

 

[MickZagger]

And your point is? I hate all white kids from the burbs!

You like black kids from the country?

 

[Minstrel]

Everybody used to say, "oh, but he does it on a bad team". After tonight the Wolves will have 3 less losses than the Blazers.

And the Blazers are a bad team. So yes, he does it for a bad team.

Not that I've ever cared about that. He's doing it against the NBA...not against his own team.

There is no such thing!

Exactly.

 

[MickZagger]

There is no such thing!

Travis Outlaw?

 

[Ed O]

There is no such thing!

 

[MickZagger]

This Rockets/Bulls game is a barnburner. Brad Miller draining 3's.

 

[MickZagger]

I have to admit. Noah has really grown on me as an NBA player. I didn't think his game would translate to the NBA, but his desire and work ethic have made him a sold player. I'd take him in a heartbeat. You can tell when he's on the court that he looks like he wants it more than anyone else. Also, as ugly as his offensive game is, he's pretty efficient.

Holy Smokes, Wolves were +41 when Darko was on the court.

Don't let Kingspeed catch wind of this. He'll be his latest future All-Star.

That just means the Blazers are a bad team.

 

[MickZagger]

That just means the Blazers are a bad team.

Means the Wolves are just a bad team too. Bad teams can have good players on them.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Love would be awesome for us. Too bad it ain't happening

 

[Mediocre Man]

Look no further than Portland. Roy and Aldridge are both good players on a bad team

Roy used to be good. Not so much anymore, hence the reason why were losing. Aldridge is a 3rd or 4th option on a contender. Too many holes in his game though.

I've seriously been saying this since the middle of his rookie season.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I've seriously been saying this since the middle of his rookie season.

Everybody is falling over themselves to say they doubted some element of the team first... y'all are like a bunch of sports hipsters.

The Blazers as ostensibly constructed would have had Roy and Oden as the 1st and 2nd options, with LMA as the 3rd and Batum as the 4th.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I have a reputation of being a huge Aldridge basher. It's no secret.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Then why post what we already know? (that you've seriously been saying this since the middle of his rookie season) The only reason I can think of is to brag. "That thought you had? I had it, like, three years ago."
