Yup. Minnesota is another OK team. Portland matches up well though. Aldridge and Love is a toss up, though I would prefer Love. Minnesota is 7-4 at home, but only 3-7 in the last 10 games. Could go either way.
Big matchup between Miami and Indiana tomorrow could mean nothing, Lebron might be out.

I'd take Alridge eight days a week. Love plays zero defense, even less than Harden. He certainly has his pluses, but Aldridge is the better overall player IMO.

Ok. With the Durant George Im basing it on George being 2 years younger and taking huge steps forward. I still dont think its as lopsided as you do, but I guess I can concede that Durant is more polished right now.
As for Love and Aldridge, I think Love is better and its pretty clear. The numbers don’t lie….
Love is 25 and 14 w/ a plus 27 player efficiency rating. Aldridge is 23 and 11 w/ a sub 24 player efficiency rating. Aldridge is also 28, Love is 25….
Love also is 5 rebounds a game better then Aldridge for career stats…. Not even close there.
Aldridge is an admirable player, and is probably a top 10 player right now due to guys like Carmelo, Rondo and Rose dropping off from that top 10 level. So this is no knock on Aldridge I just prefer Love and I think the stats back that up.
Not to mention that Aldridge has a lot better parts around him. He is part of a 1 and 1a type thing with the PG. Love is it for Minnesota.

Carmelo is averaging 26 points and 9 rebounds a game. How has he dropped?

And stop with this 1 and 1A, First take BS please? Lets leave inane theories and meritless innuendo to threads about lasix

And yes George has really improved to the point where he is a top 10 player but Durant is a Hall of fame, all time great level player. George has been really good for 1/3rd of a season.

What about ALdridge vs Love???
Ill give my top 10 NBA players shortly. And Im talking right now tonight.

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. George
4. Harden
5. Love
6. Curry
7. Aldridge
8. Cousins
9. Westbrook
10. Howard

The NBA is so deep right now. You could slide Chris Paul anywhere from 5-10 and I would not really argue it.

Every GM in the league would take Westbrook over Cousins, and most would take Westbrook over Harden too. You have Harden too high for sure.

I hear you on Love and the stats. I just have trouble with guys like that can't play a lick of defense. Harden fits there too.

Different style guys that play the same position and both are great. Love probably gets the slight advantage because he is a prolific 3 pt shooter and is easily the best stretch 4 in the game. His defensive rebound to outlet passes are about as good as anyone I can remember. However Aldrich can play both 4 and 5 equally as well and is a better defender. Pretty close to a toss up

They look tired tonight...getting destroyed and back-doored to death. Your boy Kevin Love will have a triple double by halftime at this rate.

When Alexey Schved is dunking on you...you know you're in trouble.

The league is super competitive. You cant get it up everynight. No shame in whats happening right now.
Miami on the other hand, hopefully they make a run.

RockHardTen1985 · #14 12-18-2013, 09:08 PM

Lebron and D. Wade a combined 18/29. No other player on the roster giving them anything at all tonight. Miami made a push, should be fun 4th quarter.

RockHardTen1985 · #15 12-18-2013, 09:38 PM

Chris Bosh is such a soft, moist marshmallow man cupcake man. Its unreal that they win despite him being a max, third option guy.

Love, Aldridge, West, Ibaka, anyway who plays D and rebounds Chuck. They dont need scoring from him.
Varajo and Asik even guys like that.

Portland making moves.

Won't have enough in the tank to come back from 30 some down, but they did make a run to start the second half to make it interesting for a little while when they cut it to 10. And I agree with you on Bosh...he is soft.
