Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[melecoaze]

Yeah it was a joke.

Love is pretty clearly playing hurt and frustrated

I mean, the way he's playing isn't something new for the last 4 years. Even when he wasn't hurt or frustrated.

We gave him a pass for awhile, but enough is enough.

This game was like a replica of his game 5 in last years finals. 2 early fouls, then when he did come back in very timid and could get nothing going outside of a few boards. Love had 5/6 offensive rebounds tonight, think the Cavs got 2 points from them.

 

[Benedict_Boozer]

Refs aren’t doing him any favors out there but have to agree...no more excuses Love nearly cost us the game with all those bricks + horrible D in the 3rd.

 

[gourimoko]

Kevin really illustrates the shortcomings of the white athlete in the NBA.

Bogdanovic and Sabonis would be our second and third best players on a team of predominantly Black guys..

Oh great the Philippinos are here.

Mabuhay!

p.s. it's "Filipino."

... BTW, guys remember when it was Kyrie's fault that Love was playing like shit? Yeah, I remember that argument too...

But enough is enough.. let another team take a chance on Love .. I'm looking at the Portland Failzers.. Love for McCollum works... If the Wizards lose, which I expect, then there's also Love for Beal (which I would prefer, surely).

Sheesh guys why make the thread awkward for everyone with the race talk?

You know who was never a huge Love fan?

Blatt gets smarter every day.

Love has been outplayed this series by Turner, Thad, Bogdanovic and Sabonis.

That is straight-up disgusting.

 

[Robert85]

I think the cavs should take love and park his ass on St.Clair ave on the east side of Cleveland and make him play one pick up game with the bros. Won’t play soft after that.lol

Seriously I don’t get how he gets dismantled everytime on the block. Fuck the pacers bigs. Love has got to perform better, and why tf did Lue go away from Love-nance 4/5. Sigh.

Yep. And Thad has been absolutely awful. Like, absolute garbage.

It speaks to how bad Love has been. He looks like he belongs in the D League.

Not just outplayed.

"Punked by". That's the truly repulsive aspect of it.

Was fired while in first place because Griffin didn’t like the “vibe” of the team

 

[BrutX15]

With Sabonis (lefty) just destroying him tonight, it makes me wonder how Love has never developed a left hand. Just one move to not make your only post move, the baby hook, so predictable.

I literally become Nostradamus visioning a forced turnover just wailing his arms up like a headless chicken everytime he gets the ball in the post.

 

[KIxJR1]

His post up game is dead. He’s good in the post when he actually gets the ball out of his hands but unfortunately he gets blocked or stripped like 90% of the time. And this is nothing new.

I thought I was the only one who noticed he’s actually garbage in the post.

His stats over this series are simply abysmal.. Not just offensively, but defensively as well. He's been awful.

33.8 MPG
36.2 FG% / 40.0 3P% / 75.0 FT%
44.7 eFG / 47.5 TS%
12.0 PPG
10.5 RPG
1.0 APG (wtf?)
2.8 TOV
1.0 STL
2.8 PF

Love has a PER of > 11.9 (likely > 11 after tonight) and a BPM of -4.0, likely > -5 after tonight. He is playing effectively below replacement level with respect to PER/VORP, and significantly below with respect to BPM.

The average PER over these playoffs is actually 12.98. The average BPM in these playoffs, as of right now, is -0.928; again, Love is at -4.0.
