Quick stat comparison between the three through basketball reference in case anyone wanted to look at it.

Aldridge had the highest PER of the three with the lowest usage rate, having the highest FG%, best reb% and best blk%. Only place he finishes behind these two is team record. And market size.
 
Same argument that people have against Love. Putting up big stats on a non playoff team right?
 
Here's the reason right here:

The All-NBA Teams were chosen by a panel of 120 sportswriters and broadcasters

Explains why Blake Griffin would be elected second team.

Not true! In fact, it says "must spread rep around before you can rep this douchebag again!"
I probably give out more "rep" than most people on here.

Three point percentage doesn't really seem like a fair stat for a power forward :devilwink:
 
Just think of how well LA would have done with an actual point guard like Rubio instead of an overweight triceretops at point.

My point was that the same people that bitched about how Love shouldn't make an all-star team or he isn't shit because he puts up these stats on a non playoff team better hold LA to the same standards.

If LA ever puts up numbers like Love then fine
 
How about Aldridge has the stats and is the only one of the 4 that can play good defense on a regular basis? That's why he should be chose above Melo and Dirk.

This board has become so negative that it's getting unpleasant to read. At least, Mixum was entertaining in his negativity...
 
Quite simply, I can see the argument for Dirk on the team over Aldridge (although I disagree with it). Melo is the one I really have a problem with. I don't see any legitimate argument for him.

What does that have to do with anything, shouldn't LMA still be held to the same stats on bad team, or are you misreading what HCP is saying?

Blake Griffin didn't make it last year though. Despite being All Stars, Love and Griffin didn't make any All NBA team and Aldridge did.

I have no problem with Aldridge not making it this year. We were horrible. Winning matters. It's why Randolph and Aldridge made it over Love And Griffin last year.
 
I think you ask anybody outside of Blazer fans who is better and they all will tell you Love.

Same here. Its the small town mentality of our fans.

I was talking to a buddy the other day who lives in Cali and he's always been a Bulls fan. I said what do you think of Luke Babbitt, he started coming on strong towards the end of the year. He said, see thats whats wrong with you Blazeer fans is you fall in love with scrubs and hope they save the day. Such a small town mentality.

I guess he's right.

Maybe because he is an unstoppable scorer.

LeBron (defensive player of the year candidate) couldn't slow him down.
