They're missing 3 players.....same amount as Golden State

who are those players?

Kevin Love overall is better than Chris Bosh...He has Chris Bosh's miami heat numbers beat almost across the board from everything from points, shooting %, rebounding, PER, win share you name it...

I always though Miami needed to trade Bosh while his value was overrated

I disagree, but I do think both players are pretty close in value since both players are starting role players and nothing more. Kevin Love averaged 16 points per game to Bosh who averaged 21 points per game, Love was a 42% field goal percentage and Bosh was 46% which is more efficient shooting. Their assists per game was 2.4 for Love and 1.6, and Love rebounded 10 to Bosh's 7. Before becoming a role player in Miami Bosh was 24 points and 10 rebounds to Love's 26 and 12 so while Love has been better at times then Bosh in some areas, he has not been overall better than Bosh all of the time consistently. I think the difference maker most like ends in how each player has defended in the paint enough that the player driving to the paint has changed course to avoid him and of course efficiency in passing. I wish there was a passing score being maintained, but Bosh has a better 3 point percentage last year than Love and both are about the same in personal fouls and turn overs. I do see your argument as to Love's value though and understand it to a point, but the stats do not support your argument

who are those players?

Conley, Vince Carter, and James Ennis.

well if anyone would know about dick sucking its definitely DJ- hes made it a practical cottage industry the amount of dicks he sucks undereath the Oakland end of the Bay Bridge......he has it down to a science.

and again your abject stupidity never ceases to surprise me DJ- you talk about titles total- when my original comment was stressed the fact that Lovei s playing better than Bosh ever has- right now- at the time of their games- not what they have done cumulatively- hes playing with him twice the seasons - of course Bosh has more longevity then Love playing with LeBron you moron. Your reading comprehension is that of a 6th grader who got hit in the head with a baseball bat. lol..

udonis haslem won 2 titles with LeBron- more than Love- obviously he is better too...God you are an idiot.

At least now you are using you are since you don't know the difference between your and you're.

Nice job by Miami tonight. A ton of energy and great effort tonight especially considering its their 4th game in 5 nights. All in different states. Fully expect to start winning games if we get back 2 or 3 of the other injured players on Monday

 

[WiggyRuss]

Conley, Vince Carter, and James Ennis.

does Chandler PArsons not qualify?

what about the Warriors? Green, Durant, Curry and Thompson are all playing.....

Memphis is obviously missing a BOATLOAD more talent - not even REMOTELY close.

Coming from the self proclaimed "hog hunter." You can't make this shit up.

Forgot Chandler Parsons still exist to be honest with you. Dude is always hurt.

 

[bksballer89]

Heat down 3 with 106 left. Fully expected this to be a blow out. Proud of those guys

 

[bksballer89]

That fight for HCA in round 1 should be good if all these teams stay on the current pace (OKC, HOU, and MEM)

 

[DJ Fieri]

Anthony Davis isn't playing tonight.....the Clippers should smash the Pelicans.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Forgot Chandler Parsons still exist to be honest with you. Dude is always hurt.

very true. They spent a ton of money on both him and Conley....Remember the Harrison twins at Kentucky? i cant believe that kid is playing humongous minutes and starting...good for him- and for a team that is playing some damn good ball....i liked this team a lot preseason...id love to see what htey could do if they got healthy and had eveyrone clicking.

the Bulls are a screwy team as i said a few days ago- they get blown out by the terrible Mavs and lose to the roughed up Lakers- and then beat the Cavs and the Spurs- all in the last 2 weeks. they can lose to anybody or beat anybody

what happened to Josh Richardson's shot? yikes

 

[WiggyRuss]

geezus Lamar Jackson wins the Heisman at 19 years old...now THAT makes me feel like an old sad bastard.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Davis is 23 and Gentry thinks he needs a night off? Oh my.

 

[DJ Fieri]

how about those Lakers playoff chances you were so excited about a couple weeks ago DJ?-- just started a 5 game stretch against very easy teams and lost the first game--- Game 6 is gonna be a wipe out i can tel lya that @ Cleveland...might have to get tickets to that game, err massacre.

Back to making shit up? Never said they'd make the playoffs. SMH.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Davis is 23 and Gentry thinks he needs a night off? Oh my.

who cares? Kyrie is 24 and should get nights off....Deangela Russel is 20 and is getting platelet injections in his knee- he shouldnt play every night either- ---- this isnt the NBA of 20 years ago when "men were men and everyone played 82 games"--- now you actually try and protect your talent instead of running it into the ground.. something you obviously dont comprehend. You protect your assets- especially when you are paying them over 100 million dollars.

Kevin Durant shooting 55% while shooting almost 7 3's a game is just mind-mindbogglingly ridiculous.

the best big man shooters in the NBA from 3 this season:

1. Channing Frye- 48.1% (1st overall in the NBA for any position) 77 attempts
2. Marc Gasol- 43.3% (11th overall in the NBA) 84 attempts
3. Kevin Love- 41.9% (19th overall in the NBA) 136 attempts
4. Kevin Durant- 40.7% (28th overall in the NBA) 108 attempts
5. Ryan Anderson- 40.0% (31st overall in the NBA) 145 attempts
6. Serge Ibaka- 39.7% (32nd overall in the NBA) 78 attempts
7. Dario Saric- 39.3% (35th overall in the NBA) 84 attempts

Durant is shooting ridiculous- DArio Saric looks legit--- Love's volume and shooting % for a PF is off the charts good right now---- and - THANKS DAN- for Channing Frye

Not sure where you got your numbers from but ESPN has listed Love's field goal percentage at 54 in the rankings at 54% even though his average shows 46% on his stats in his page. In scoring he is at 21 at 21 points per game - he is not in the top three or even 20 in either category - Sounds like you have been fed some of that fake news they were talking about. I will check out CBS stats later out curiosity.
