Who's the better PF? Kevin Love or Blake Griffin?

[DC35]

surprised Love by so much...i prefer Blake Griffin

edit: but i am always afraid he is gonna hurt himself with all those dunks

[BlueNGold]

I personally feel this should be between LaMarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love, but that's just me.

No doubt about it. He is just a all around complete Power Forward. He could shoot the J, take it to the rack, REBOUND, block shots.
With Blakes vertical, he should be getting more boards. It's all about the power and will tho.

Blakes game based on flash and fury.

Kevins game is based on heart, power, passion, fundamentals

Blake is still young tho. I give that to him.
Two great forwards

I'll give Love the edge over Blake because of Loves shooting ability. Granted at the moment Blake doesn't really need an outside game as his ability to finish around the rim is excellent.

to me, I'd take Love in a heartbeat. Love can fill a role on any championship team, how many stretch 4's can rebound the way he does? I don't think the same can be said for Blake, he is a high volume scorer, and i'm not sure he's good enough (not yet at least) or will be good enough to be the leading scorer on a championship team. and i'm not sure what other role he can fill? Love doesn't need to take a bunch of shots to be effective, he'll get you 10-15 rebounds every night and hits his jumpshot at a high percentage. blake needs to be ISO'd, or to have somebody throw him lobs to be effective

... i might even take Deandre Jordan over Griffin

Griffin averaged over 12 rebounds a game last year... averaging just under 10 a game this year. How many more boards should he be getting?

Come again?? How exactly does Griffin fit the high volume shot scorer label?? He shot over 50 percent last year and this year he is scoring 25 a night on 57 percent shooting. That is great efficiency. Griffin is far from a low percentage volume scorer.

I have no earthly idea why you would even have a fraction of a thought of taking Deandre Jordan over Blake. So let me get this straight you say Blake can only score off of iso and lobs but the only way Deandre ever scores is off of lobs,spoon fed dunks, and put backs. The dude didn't score a single basket outside of the paint last season. What makes it even worse is you would consider taking the guy who is giving you 8 points and 7 rebounds and who shoots under 50 percent from the free throw line over a guy who is giving you 25 points on 58 percent shooting and 10 rebounds. That doesn't even factor in that Blake is without question the far superior player. I'm sorry but that makes no sense at all.
