Last game Love had 21/13 with 5 threes. How much better do you expect him to be used? He's posting up big numbers and comes out big for us on a lot of occasions both in the paint and from downtown.
He is miles better than last year.
I agree, LeBron shouldn't be playing 38 minutes in November. But we are trying all kinds of things, and finding all kinds of ways to win ball games. Today we saw something that we didn't see this season, and it ultimately won the game for us.
I think the experience and the things we can learn from that are more important than the extra 3 minutes LeBron played.
Like you said, most of his shots were 3s. My point is, even during some of these good games Kevin is having, they're not getting the most out of him, even still.
The biggest difference between Kevin this year, and last year, is he's just CLEARLY healthy.
But make no mistake, we still aren't completely sure how to get the best out of him either. That relationship is still a long way off.
My frustration is simple. LeBron played too many minutes tonight, Kevin was riding the pine. I think it was more because of lack of trust/familiarity than anything.
Blatt wanted to win this game bad enough to bring LB in the game earlier than needed.
Stuff like this is where I wish he'd have some Pop discipline and hold back.
I don't hate Blatt, he's a good coach. But he still coaches at times like this is Euro ball, just trying to win every game.
The NBA is too long for that shit. Especially a team like us.
