A Star comes to the West (Wiggins) and a Star drops in the East (George)...

[GrapeApe]

Pretty much. But it's still better than not even making the playoffs in the West though. No matter how you spin it.

Westbrook and George are both great two way players. Love doesn't compare to them at all.

Are you saying the Wolves wouldn't make the playoffs in the east? If so, the east must be tougher than we thought, right? Which is it?

If you look at that caption in the gif, then your response is actually rather fitting.

How far do the Wolves advance in the pathetic east in your opinion?

First round exit with Love as "the man."

First round exit with Love as "the man."

So a .500 team in the mighty west is a first round exit in the east? Interesting.

Yeah, I suppose

It takes 50 wins to even make the playoffs in the West, when you can make the East playoffs with like just 35

The east is as good if not better.

wiz, raps, hawks, nets, Knicks are all title contenders.

I'll let it go but you're trying REAL hard to prop up the west (so by default the Wolves too) while at the same time trashing Kevin Love. The effort is admirable but it's just not working.

[BigTicket]

Kevin Love is a top 10 player in the East, yeah. Not sure about the West.

Please list all the players who have averaged 25/10 in the last decade.

And when you've done that, try listing all the players who have led the league in rebounding and won the 3-point shootout.

I think you'll find that both lists are rather short ...

Yeah, you can put up some cool looking numbers on a box score when you don't play defense.

this isn't really news

Kevin Love was at best a borderline top 10 player in the West.

[russwest0]

Durant
Westbrook
Davis
Griffin
Curry
Paul
Lillard
Harden
Dwight
Aldridge

Are all from the West and all better than Love. And I could probably keep going.
