His old man strength is amazing. I have no idea how he manages to get some of the rebounds he gets.

hasn't even played close to his "A" game yet and is avg 17.5 and 15 .. he will probably end up at 20-14 when it's all said and done and he and LeBron and he and Kyrie are gonna be clicking on the PNR and PNP
I believe he's only shooting around 35% at the moment.

Still don't think we're using him all that well. He had a hard time against the length of Chicago when he was the dump off man down low.
On the other hand he was able to score posting up going to that money hook off the left block. Plus, we really haven't use him any sort of consistent pick and roll game yet. Would have loved to force the big of Chicago out of the paint running more pick and pops

Kevin needs to adjust to the motion aspects ofthe new offense. He is not comfortable finishing off cuts on the interior due to his lack of lift. He didnt get any bail out calls he might be used to going against noah and gasol. His defensive effort has been high and his board work and passing have been great. we need to win ugly early on until things start to click

I kind of nostalgically held my hand against my head during the game last night and spoke to my girlfriend, who doesn't know much about the Cavs, "it just feels so good to be winning again." And then I deflated her and put her back in the closet.
Yea, just watching the game I can tell Kevin is not comfortable in that offense. I'm not making any excuses for him since he typically struggles against defenders with length (rewind to his game vs Anthony Davis last year). From the outside looking in Cavs fans should be patient with Love as he'll most likely have more inefficient games. A major reason why trading for him in the offseason was a big deal so they can work out the kinks early.

Maybe on every other facet that did not include scoring.

Love's rebounding was something I had to see for myself to really appreciate. Yeah he pads the numbers a little by coming off his man early or by not contesting too much to make sure he's the guy that gets the board, but for the most part his skill in that area is not a myth. He clears out space and he wins nearly every 50/50 rebound in traffic
