I know Kevin Love's stats and numbers.
I've seen the charts, the graphs, the averages, the pictures, the videos, the efficiency etc. I know this guy is a stat sheet
Monster.
But if we're going to criticize players like
Jabari for not playing good defense why would we ever consider Love when it's clear he can't play a lick of defense?
Just curious. Because when he has a great game were quick to make fun of ska sarcastically and post his game log.
But when he has an awful game like last nights against an atrocious Knicks team
who had lost every game they've played for weeks prior to the game, we just ignore and move on.
He was awful on both sides of the court last night.
Against the Knicks.
The Knicks. Who can't stop anyone.
Don't get me wrong I still want Love in 2015.
But if we're going to be "fair" and ask people like me to give MDA praise when he does good (which a coach should), and not just point out the bad...
Then why are we being hypocrits ignoring the bad of Kevin Love's game?
I know he's beasted recently.
He's a board machine. He's a great shooter. He's a great player.
But he has flaws.
But anytime someone brings up his flaws they are laughed at as if Love is a perfect basketball player and makes no mistake.
One minute basketball is a team sport and you can't do it on your own (what Love's supporters claim), but then the next minute stats are "meaningless" and "empty" if they're on a losing team (like Pau's case).
It's pretty convenient that you can pick and choose what you believe based on what player you're discussing.
Pau's nice stats right now are meaningless because the team sucks. So him being productive when the coach is forced
To make him the focal point doesn't mean crap because the team sucks too
Much.
Yet Love's nice stats mean everything even though he can't even defeat a Knicks team that loses to every other pathetic franchise in the world. "It's just one game." Oh.
Again. We pick and choose what arguments we want to use based on what players we discuss.
This isn't a Kevin love vs. Pau post.
Pau is done as a Laker. His career is almost a wrap. Love > Gasol by miles at this point in their careers obviously. So don't get started with that. I AM NOT COMPARING THEM AS PLAYERS (yeah you cp, I know that would be your first response to this post... Laughing Emoticons with sarcastic "Pau > love" nonsense
)
But don't set such an obvious Double standard.
If one players stats don't mean anything on a bad team the others shouldn't either.
If one players stats do mean something on a bad team, then the others should as well.
That's all I'm saying.
You guys sat there and mocked me for always pointing the bad in MDA and never the good (yet even though coaches are paid to do good, for him we should through a parade and recogniZe a few great coaching moments among all of the bad). We'll okay, I'll point out more positives.
But stop the double standard.
You wanna point out all the good in Love? Cool. Then talk about the bad and stop sweeping it under the rug to avoid ruining the "Love to LA 2015" case.
Again. I'm in support of Kevin joining our team. With Jabari and someone like love we'd start a great new era (minus the lack of
Defense).
Just stop the double standards.
Ska points out a few things he doesn't like
About him and everyone went crazy with the mockery as if Love is a god and has no flaws
Just be consistent. Discuss
The bad along with the good just like
You ask of us with MDA.
