Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[The Red Viper]

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

You aren't.

Love can't post-up anymore.

When he was fat and huge, that strength was vital in posting up. Now he is too skinny to post-up anyone other than guards and even there some guards manage to dominate him by stripping the ball from him. And its not like he has footwork to manage to do something down low as well. When he has the ball in that left low block, he will try to post up and command position for a lay-up which more often than not he isn't able to. So, he just goes for the half-arsed baby hook!

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

No, he was fired because of LeBron. Team was a mess internally and Griffin needed to act.

At least call out the right guy.

Straight freaking trash. Never seen someone whine so much after their own stupidity. He shouldn't even be a 4th option, let alone 2nd. Sickens me so much when a player just flat out refuses to give effort. Suck it up crybaby.

Pacers is a PANIC TEAM let them always behave like one Cavs! Let's Go we can do it... This series could have been easily 3 for Cavs to 1 with Pacers. They just did not took care of their lead and advantage

 

[Rick Astley]

I don't think Lue will ever play big to bully Indiana into submission and stop putting Love in the C so here's a wish for me:

BOY I SURE DO HOPE LOVE LOSE HIS DYSMENORRHEA BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY NEED HIM NOW

 

[The Red Viper]

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

And the thing is, its not like he is someone who hustles and plays hard whose impact won't show up on a stat-sheet.

This guy is the exact definition of a player I would never want to play with if I was a top tier talent that worked hard. On three occasions in the first 5 minutes of the third quarter he barely gave enough effort to make it down the court.

First he let Sabonis run in front of him the entire length of the court while jogging that ended in a layup, and LeBron called him out on it.

Then he complained and didn't get back while his man ended up with an offensive rebound and putback.

He also barely makes it into the screen after sabonis scores on the break on another play.

No matter the numbers he puts up he will cost you close games.

Because of no confidence to finish he anticipates contact and missing the shot in traffic around the rim and he plays without ANY sign of heart.

Dude be fair to Kevin Love because suffered injuries recently and to hold a ball that firm as you so expect is just not possible for the moment especially so that he has a hand injury. Matter of fact, you should appreciate his effort!

Park Love's ass at a donut shop and don't let him leave until he's gained 30 pounds. We need fat Love back.

 

[fan0283]

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.

It's not just about a left hand. Where are the pump fakes, the baseline spins, the counter moves? There's a qualitative factor to judging a player's postseason adaptability that goes beyond stats. This is why Kyrie was so valuable. He could counter everything defenses threw at him.

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

He already plays in one of the most predominately black professions in the world dick head.

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.

Guys, I suggest TyLue should makes his guys like Zizic and Nance play and run fast together with Korver, Lebron, and Jordan Clarkson for a time. If Zizic, Nance, and Clarkson will play like a whirlwind they should be giving space for Korver and James at many instances.
Another thing is Cavs should make a very good play for Korver, Love, and Smith for the threes! guys come on it is always better to play games with many threes so that James, Nance, Green and Hood can have opportunities to roll the basket!
The TRINITY THREES GUYS can hustle up things on the court with them come from the blind side of the court during the offence.

I'll be the first to admit that I have to eat some crow.

Kevin gave a glistening, all-star caliber performance tonight by scoring 5 pts. in 29 minutes.

Kevin, I'm sorry I ever doubted you. You are clearly our #2 guy, and a guy we can absolutely depend on when we need it.

Keep up the great work!

You know who’s glistening?

Nita Kuzmina.

Kevin Love is not a white athlete.

Kevin Love is a white employee of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.

Reminds me of when someone asked John Kruk how he could call himself an athlete, with a body and a diet like that. His answer:

“I’m not an athlete; I’m a ball-player.”

 

[KilgoreTrout]

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.

God only knows why Lue continues to put him at center. Players played out of position are almost always doomed to fail.

Lue and Love are literally giving each other panic attacks. They are basically killing each other.

Lol. U sure take sarcasm well. I raised on the east side of Cleveland. 125th n st Clair to be exact. U think nba players play the same exact brand of basketball as people in the park. It was a joke after all. Chill bro damn. Don’t take this Basketball shit to seriously, it’s just a game.
