Moses was on a title team in his 20/15 season and could actually defend. Love is on a team that is on pace to win about 20 games and had to be pulled off of LMA last night because of the embarrassment LMA was inflicting on Love.

Its definitely Moses Malone-esque. Malone was one of the best bigs to play the game.

No one has put up numbers like he has since Malone, shitty team, or not.

Fantasy Players Unite! Meanwhile, I watched Love live last night. He is an ELITE Garbage Man, as I posted earlier. Nothing wrong with that, but he is NOT Moses Malone. Love wasn't even double-teamed one time last night. He is a stat freak focused on rebounding and garbage points who may be the worst PF defender in the NBA. He'd be a great bench asset/role starter on a championship team that can defend.

As an "All-Star" franchise player, he is limited.

Put a Center like Camby, Nene, or any shot blocking big next to Love and he won't look as bad as he does defensively.

I disagree. He's TERRIBLE as a defender. He's fun to watch on the boards, though. He's like Rodman, except his coach lets him actually get the easy garbage buckets.

Its true. You always talk about how we should've never traded Z-Bo.

I never disliked Z-Bo and what he did on the court. I just thought he was a knucklehead and a bad influence on the young team that surrounded him. He was also much more of a black hole offensively than he has been in Memphis. Love is the opposite of a black hole. He sets screens and is a great passer.

You act like all his points come from garbage buckets. Dude's shooting over 40% from 3 and has a nice 16-18 foot jumper.

Zbo had to be a black hole on that portland team

Isn't saying he's the modern day Moses Malone the equivalent? Or is it just going to be a semantics argument?

There is a differnence between someone who can carry the scoring load and simple roleplayers and assorted scrubs.

Roy was the runaway ROY during Zach's last season in Portland. Which of your two listed categories did he fit best in?

rhetorical questions aside, Zach was traded because he kept fucking up off the court and as the face of the franchise the team couldn't have that as an example to their developing talent of how to act. I liked ZR's efforts on the court, but I still support why the team did what it did

And zach wasn't quite the black hole he was when there was another option. He played better and less like the ballhog.

And it was clearly the wrong move as we are where we are. Addition by subtraction proved to be an abject failure

There's actually a reason to watch a Minnesota/Memphis game: Zbo vs. Love is like Superman vs. Bizarro Superman. The difference is, Love has been schooled on fundamentals from the cradle whereas I think Zach had to rely on raw talent.

Yeah - instead of Roy we should have taken Rudy Gay, and we should have kept Zach, and then we could be the emerging Titan that is the Memphis Grizzlies!

They gave a better roster and future right now...zboec!

How is the strategy a failure? The strategy was sound, unless you assume part of their strategizing was knowing Roy and Oden would be hurt.

Imaginary Cap Space. Horrible failure on KP and Penn's part. Plan without a plan.
 
The Phoenix Suns taking on Oklahoma City and the NBA refs tonight, OKC with 13 ft attempts in the 1st quarter to Phoenix' 2.

you mean 2 minutes into the 2nd.

Not counting tonight, of course, the Thunder are second only to the Miami Heat in FTA total (830 to MIA's 844). Of course, OKC has played 2 fewer games than Miami, meaning they shoot 30.74 FT's per game. Miami shoots 29.10 per game.

Fucking rigged.
