Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[InBoobieWeTrust]

Despite the 1/10...Love had a better impact tonight compared to previous games.

I honestly think the major front court defensive woes are coming from Varejao, sure Love is bad but half the time Andy is not even rotating.

Yeah, what's up with his height? He is listed at 6'10 but he looks maybe 6'8 out there. 6'8 and can't jump. He is strong but he actually looks small for a PF, like a much less athletic Charles Barkley.

He measured in at 6' 7.75 (6' 9.5 w/shoes) at the pre-draft combine. He was probably wearing the thickest shoes he could.

Love's height without shoes is 6 foot 7 and 3/4 of an inch. I think LeBron grew to about 6 foot 8 legit.

Makes me giggle when people are saying Kevin Love looks small. I think Back to saying 6'5.5 barefoot Anthony Bennett was WAY too small and there was a huge contingent that thought I was silly.

Love's always been a slightly undersized PF. coupled with a big center he more than makes up for it with his fundamentals and grit down low. It definitely shows when he is paired with a similarly sized TT or non rim protector like Andy.

Love had three blocks today. He also closed out and contested well, forcing bad shots. He had a steal and deflected the ball two other times. I think we can give him credit tonight for playing decent-to-good defense.

Despite his shots not falling, and being sick, he fought and clawed the entire game on the boards and on D. He's learning a whole new facet of the game. Give him time.

Honestly, that speaks pretty negatively about his performance to this point. Obviously you stay patient because it's early and his track record undoubtedly earns him the benefit of the doubt, but you'd definitely like to see more from him.

He's still +5.4 when on court

The thing that gets me is this is Brons first running in Miami and everyone seemed to forget that. This same thing was going on. The ONLY difference is we have a young team and Bron always wanted to be a father figure so here we are.. I swear Batman could come to Cleveland to fight crime and we would find ways to question him.

I think he and maybe the rest of the team is going to have to fail spectacularly in the playoffs to realize how much you really need to win. I haven't really seen the fire of a contender from anyone yet.

Everyone should get tapes of Delly playing defense in their stocking this year.

Cant blame em either.

It took Bron forever to get to the finals with us and he had to play unbelieveably crazy


We have a better team but just like inflation on gas prices, the leagues talent level has risen so much its not funny.

You have to play at such a high level to win nowadays its scary
