Who's gonna blink first? (Love vs. Griffin)

[Fafnir]

loves team is complete garbage so he's always gonna have more oppurtunity.
This guy is the 2nd or 3rd option on a championship winning team.
He's like lamar odom playing for the cavs right now. He'd do 20 and 15 every night.
Slightly overrated in my opinion but he's making the most out of the ****ty minnesota situation.

KG was on some pretty crappy Wolves teams but his teams usually at least made it to the playoffs. Kevin Love seems to get his numbers but it is pretty empty when you only have 10 wins. I agree with you he is a 3rd option on a winning team.

Love is a much worse offensive/defensive player than KG ever was/is. Love's only real similarities to KG are:

1. Both were drafted by Minny
2. Play PF
3. Dominant rebounding

[Edgar]

not to mention that minny team really stinks specially when mr. dreads is sick or off

Blakes clips are not that bad, specially with deandre now stealing rebounds from blake. and gordon sharing a great offensive load.

Now Clips are officialy my no,2 team in the league
my no. 3 is okc

theres no no.4

Kevin Love reminds me of David Lee circa 2008-2010. Putting up outstanding numbers, especially rebounds, due to their horrid teams and poor shooting. I'm going to say KLove will end up with about 11 Rebounds average at the end of the season.

To end up with an 11.0 rebounding average, Love would have to average 5.95 rebounds per game over his last 39 games, after averaging 15.6 rebounds in his first 43.  In other words, it's pretty unlikely.

Looks like Griffin will blink first.

With 3 minutes or so left in the 3rd quarter against Houston, Blake has 5 rebounds and 12 points.  Solid chance he gets at least 5 rebounds in the time remaining, but will be difficult.  Love, meanwhile, has yet another 20 pt 15 rebound game going tonight.


edit:

nvm - looks like he already blinked first (didn't see the post regarding that on the previous page).

nevertheless, love is still going and blake has had a couple of non-dd's.

Just to point out Zach Randolph's stats are very very similar to B Griffin's, and arguably slightly better.

And he doesn't have to steal all his rebounds from DeAndre Jordan. He's competing with Marc Gasol

Griffin has already had a 8 or 9 rebounds game sometime last week.

eja.

blake is injuried

Hes a rookie

Hes my boy No.2

Andre Jordan is having a great year

He played some horrible games starting this year because of rookieness

and Zach is a stat proffesional public woman

I'm guessing Blake isn't a totally indifferent defender the way Randolph is.  Also, I'm guessing Blake is a much better passer.  Randolph has probably almost never come close to 10 assists.

They average the same number of steals. Randolph averages .3 blocks per game to Griffin's .6.  Griffin is unquestionably the better passer by more than double. But Griffin gives up an extra TO a game. He also gives up an more fouls and unlike Griffin when Randolph gets fouled he actually makes his free throw.

Actually I kinda think Blake's value probably comes from the likely fact that the entire defense is trying to stop Blake and not at all Zach. Also he's a rookie, whereas Zach is a seasoned vet.  But Zach is totally underrated and has been for years.

Zach ewasnt overrated in his years on Portland
he ruins his career by himslef becoming a prima donna
the scoring and rebounding hability always there but he never
worries about improving other areas of his game
and become a black hole and black holes are not liked in wining teams.
Not called the LeBrons.

Maybe Z-Bo's offense has been underrated, but his defense has been justifiably maligned...because, well, it's essentially non-existent.  He's also gotten better in the last year or two about not being a completely boneheaded chucker.  He's put up big numbers on a lot of bad teams.  Zach is a lot like Big Al in that sense.
