2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

which was why I said "for the most part" He actually made it 2 times, sport. But not elite in all those other seasons? Never mind Love in Minny didn't play with guys on the level of Cousins and Holiday.

Do I need to list Love’s win totals again?

Do we really need to go there?

Elite players are superstars. The best of the best in the entire league.

Anthony Davis fits that description. Kevin Love never has.

 

[tlance]

you - "not elite if you don't make the playoffs"

AD only elite in 2 seasons of 7 in NO. Cannot wait for your spin on that one.

and of course we ignore Love is an elite rebounder, right?

And a bad defender.

OK.

you - "not elite if you don't make playoffs"

Own it.

And I don’t need to spin that.

AD wasn’t a superstar until a couple years ago. You know, when he carried his team to the playoffs in 2018.

List them if you want. Make sure you list the seasons where Love was among the best of the best.

Per your "logic" AD was not elite in 5 of 7 seasons and was not elite when the Lakers traded for him. Lakers get hoodwinked?

You say you own your mistakes or foolish comments. Let's see it.

AD was not a superstar from 2014-15 through 2017-18? when he was between 24-28 ppg and 10+ rebounds, 2+ blocks and a solid defender? PER ranging from 25-30.8. O Rating 110-122. D Rating 100-104

You are just digging a deeper hole.

No he wasn’t.

Being a superstar is about more than producing stats.

There are usually about 3 - 5 in the league at a given time. Now I believe there could be as many as 7 or 8, which is pretty much unprecedented.

But they all post elite numbers on top teams.

Like I said from the jump, you clearly have a lesser definition of “elite”. But I think most would agree with mine.

Kevin Love’s PPG in Cleveland:

2015: 16.4
2016: 16.0
2017: 19.0
2018: 17.6 as 2nd option
2019: 17.0 as 1st option
2020: 16.1 as 1st option

Klay in GS since 2015

2015: 21.7 as 2nd option
2016: 22.2 as 2nd
2017: 22.3
2018: 20.0
2019: 21.5

Not even in the ballpark man. Sorry.

Anyone saying that Love is better than Klay is bat shit fucking stupid, or catches Love's potential kids in the back of their throat.

Well, i had to look at Loves stats, and he had two seasobns 2011 to 2012 and 2013 to 2014 where he averaged 26 ppg and 10 rpg, and for the rest of his career never brok 19 ppg and 10 to 11.rpg. I have to agree with you that is not elite, but he is a really good player. Perhaps i didnt watch him play, but i was never impressed with his defensive skills.

in the meantime, Anthony hasn averaged 26 ppg and 10 rpg since about his third season and i like his defense with the Lakers.

i choose AD over the injury prone Love every day of the week.

You can't go in the fucking stands.

A fan going to get fucked up soon enough.

Within the next 5 years I'm guessing

Whiteside is killing it.
Wiggy won’t be back for quite some time.

Actually every single thing that he has been ragging on has gone south for him. Browns suck, Cavs suck and showing zero progress, Heat are great, Lakers are great led by a rejuvenated LeBron, Whiteside is solid, Butler is crushing it...

I honestly think he's done here for good.

Hopefully.
I haven’t been around much.
Until May, my time is limited.
Is DTG still here arguing every day?
