Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[TyGuy]

KLove's stats for the month of January:

14.4 PPG on 14.7 FGA per game, 33% from the field, 26% from 3, 10 boards (his one good stat).

It's the food poisoning followed by back spasms no doubt, but we need to sit him down for a while.

This is the problem with lacking depth, you can't sit people down long enough to let them really heal. That's how you get people going into the playoffs all beat up from the season.

January is a shitty month for movies, the cavs, and Love. It's always nice to be able to count on him for rebounding, but our offense has struggled and he's been a big part of that problem.

Hey, John Wick 2 is coming out - speak for yourself.

EDIT - looks like that doesn't hit theaters until February.

Split?

Split?

This movie looks terrible.

Paired with the fact that M night shyamalan has been basically just shitting out garbage and living off the sixth sense legacy for oh idk his entire career I see no reason this movie will be anything other than a huge let down.

Also the 24th personality is called "the beast." What a thought provoking name for it. Must've taken many hours to decide on that one!

I wonder if Love's back has been an issue for a couple weeks. Outside of the PHX game, he hasn't really shot it that well, and he hasn't looked as smooth shooting the ball. I know he was out with food poisoning, but I wouldn't be surprised if the back was a problem too.

 

[K1rieIrving>AllOtherPG's]

Does Kevin have chronic back issues? seems like its the same problem and he always goes to the bike or lying on a towel and he doesn't look as mobile lately

 

[pinoycavsfan]

It sucks potentially not having love for the game but i am interested to see a kyrie/shump/korver/lbj/tt starting 5.. Defense be damned! Run phoenix to the ground! And a kyrie-lbj pick n roll majority of the possession would be great..

Apparently Love's back was in bad enough shape that he couldn't get through shootaround and James Jones will be starting against Phoenix.

It always makes sense to replace a starter with a non rotation guy in the event of an injury. Is there something wrong with Jefferson?

We do at least know that James Jones is always wet.

It's crazy that he can just sit on the bench for weeks and come in and make such a high percentage of threes.

I hate when people use the term "wet" to describe basketball player's shots, or men in general.

Don't do that @TyGuy.

Gross.

He's really moist at all times.

lol @ starting James Jones.. that's ridiculous...

Would've imagined we'd roll with a 3-guard rotation in Irving/Korver/Shumpert and just move James to the 4 til Love gets back.

Guess not.

First one to 125 wins lol

Lue starting McRae/Liggins/Shump turned out okay so maybe Champ gonna come out and knock down 5 3's.

 

[The Red Viper]

Looks like Jimmy Butler has been voted as a starter for East All-Stars.

I guess that means, Kev won't be starting as Giannis and LeBron would most likely be the starters in the front court.

I am guessing Ty doesn't want to tinker with the bench. And also possibly send a signal to Dan and Griff to do some deals to get a player who could fill in at 3/4.
