Phillys front-court is really young, really big, really long, really athletic, and they play really hard. They gang-rebound hard with Saric/Embiid/Simmon/Covington.

Just a tough tough tough match-up for Kev. But his spacing despite a poor shooting night still opened up our offense a lot. Still competed. Was actually really good defensively. Led to him getting out of position a lot. Cavs had him switching to the perimeter quite a bit. Lots of rotation because of us blitzing their bigs down low.

Not a great game but the "Love is trash" narrative every time he struggles is getting old. Literally might block the next couple people I see engaging in it because yes, your opinions are THAT bad.

I have been really encouraged by his showing on the perimeter and his switches. Pretty good. I'd still like to see him set a quality screen, but he has been playing really well. I think Embiid got too much refspect last game.
 
You can see Kevin is getting comfortable playing center in this style of offense, it suits his game. The problem is that he has to play against assholes like Whiteside, who get frustrated when he kills them from the perimeter. Then they start flailing, cheap shotting and throwing their weight around. Whiteside was really fucking reckless and hazardous out there tonight, makes me worried if Kevin can make it through the season healthy.

Kevin looked physically better tonight. He moved better and was more aggressive.

Wish we could have seen fat Kevin Love on this team... I feel like this would have been the norm with the fat guy.
 
Love ok? Not hurt? Weren't people saying he looked like he hurt himself last night?

I assume you're talking about the shot to the head last night? Pretty sure that was bam adebayo. Could be wrong, but I don't think Whiteside is the one that hit him.
 
Someone wrote KD and Green can hold his own against Love in the post. No they can’t, we just don’t give him proper space and pass to go at them. Passes are too late, force him to abandon his position or direct him in traffic.
To add to that, someone is always “looking” to clogg his path and drags another defender near him.

Clear the fck up and let him destroy them (or make the pass if doubled).

Green can definitely handle Love in the post... 100%. Durant can handle him enough with his length to make it less than optimal shot. It's just not a good idea to give the ball to Love in the post against GSW unless it's a mismatch against Curry/Klay. Love against GSW is turnover prone in the post because he isn't good enough/quick enough passer in the post to react to their defensive scheme/double teaming and his lack of length also hurts him in that regard.

The only one i'm giving the ball in the post is Lebron.

They Attack Loves dribble because GS is allowed to grab you pretty much. Face up game is more effective IMO.

They absolutely can and they have and it has nothing to do with spacing around him.
