They have him posted at the 3pt line ffs?

With guys like LBJ, Irving & JR Smith when is Love supposed to touch the ball?
These guys all want the ball in their hands and when they are not shooting they wanna drive the lane where Love wants to post.

I just don't see it working & Love should look elsewhere
Pretty sure this is a given unless they go deep into the playoffs.

Has the jury returned with a verdict, yet?

These two are supposed "all star talents" yet cant win a game without LeBron James.
And just think: Chicago tried to give away Jimmy Butler (and Taj Gibson) for Kevin "no-Hart" Love. Smh.

I like the re-read old threads as we reach another NBA offseason. I came across this thread and said to myself it’s crazy how both Butler and Gibson ended up in Minnesota. :blink:

Still not much of a fan of Kevin Love. Dude is still the Minnesota loser to me. Actually he probably misses the baby fat he had in Minny. Might have helped him post up Marcus Smart.

Irving I dunno what I was on. I remember that one game before Bron came to the Cavs where Irving torched the Knicks midrange all day, that was when I became a believer. I gotta stop being so bold on predictions, Im getting blown up on all these blasts from the past :laugh:

I'd like to take a look at him on another team without Lebron before I make my decision on where his talent level is. Very hard to judge when the only evidence is him on a bottom feeding team or being one of Lebron's sidekicks.

The other thing is hes been quietly averaging more than 20/10 in the finals. But its quiet ya know. Hes in a weird position. Hes putting up numbers, but he doesnt feel like a true number 2 at all. No idea what to make of him.

It truly is the quietest 20/10 ever recorded.

Love also quietly is the Cavs' best paint defender and improved defensively compared to his previous reputation as a defender.

That kinda says a lot about the current Cavs roster

He might not be a terrible player but he's always been a terrible fit on the Cavs.
