What exactly does empty stats mean?

Putting up big stats on a bad team? Not really effecting the outcome of the game?

I don't think anyone expected wiggins to lead Minnesota to the playoffs putting up 20 and 10.

I would still do the trade but it's not as much as a slam dunk as it was before.

Yes to both.

And I understand no one thought he'd lead to playoffs, I was just stating that his box score doesn't tell the whole story.

That he's putting up stats but he isn't as good as the stats say he is?

Can you just tell me what it is you are actually trying to say instead of using phrases that are bouncing around the main point lol

Lol I'll try again. Made sense in my head.

Basically saying can't look at his numbers and think they would transfer to cleveland. He'd be playing mostly with the 2s and would be 2nd or 3rd option with them. Add in the fact his defense hasn't transferred over like we all though and Cleveland would actually be worse than we are now with the current roster.

WTF are you talking about? LeBron hit an amazing 57% of his shots last season...again a number neither Kobe nor MJ ever sniffed.

Yeah, well I didn't expect Love's shooting to be way down percentage wise...as are his rebounds per game (way down and inexcusable). And LeBron is nowhere near the numbers posted over the past 4 years. When your star players play like crud, then your winning percentage is gonna suck. This isn't rocket science Failey.

You didn't expect it, which makes you wrong lol.

We all predicted Love to be worse. LBJ has been a different player and that is unexpected, but looking at that roster, most could've told you they were a ways away. Not this bad, but closer to this than what you were spouting off.

As for the trade, it was terrible then and it's terrible now. If the Cavs don't win the title, the trade is an ultimate fail. Love likely comes as a FA and you have Wiggins still...

AW is starting to play much better, btw, for those not watching. Gaining confidence each game and starting to do what we saw versus his peers at the world championships etc. Dunking, going 1-1 with confidence and putting up 20+.

They wouldn't have had the cap room to sign Love as an FA. How do people still not get that?

Fielded a 4 man roster? Or convinced Love to sign for $8 million a year?

You said he shot well over 50% all 4 years in Miami.

He shot 51% his first year there. So no he didn't.

Don't let the facts get in your way though.

Is twitter exaggerating, or did he really shoot 3 airballs and chuck one of the top of the backboard?
