Ridiculous how many bad shots our guards took instead of finding ways to get Love the ball in scoring positions. Pretty clear Love will look like a different player once we fully integrate him into the offense and get a big body rim protector at the center spot. Not all great player are like Jordan or Lebron who don't really need guys to cover weaknesses.

It was ridiculous, it really was. Some of it had to do with Charlotte's defense against the pick and roll I thought, but still Love getting only three shots in the fourth while the guards miss shot after shot isn't acceptable.
 
Glad Love played well tonight. We need that every night. It's weird he started to catch on fire after getting hurt.

I feel like this has been said about every decent offensive piece the Cavs have added in the last few years. Maybe the problem isn't integrating him into the offense. Maybe the problem is the point guard is actually a shooting guard, and the shooting guard is Dion Waiters.

I'm sure some will disagree with this, but I don't think it was a coincidence that Kyrie looked great playing the shooting guard to LeBron's point guard.

If we had gone to Love more in the 4th quarter, this game would have been won much easier.

I don't know when Blatt and the team are going to figure it out, but this failure to get Love the ball is a real impediment to the team's success at the moment. Thank goodness we still pulled out the win.

U know at first I thought you were full of shit and it is only one game, but he scored a effortless 30 out there.

I will keep watching to see what happens. If he puts together a stretch of monster games I think you have to start pointing the finger at Blatt.

I don't talk just to hear myself talk. And believe me, I am far from the only one saying that Blatt isn't getting it done with regard to setting up Love.

But Blatt is smart. It'll get better. I'm just frustrated because Love is being treated like some afterthought, which is crazy.

It certainly isn't me that would disagree with this. Kyrie is not a selfish player but he isn't a traditional PG. You can see the difference when Lebron decides to be a facilitator or when we had Shaun Livingston. In particular he is just not good at finding people outside of his direct line of sight (i.e. he rarely finds the shooter at the 3 point line when he drives. He really does not have the Euro drive and kick mentality in him). Really feel like a guy like Livingston who is a good defender and has 2 guard size but a PG mentality would be incredible add for us.
 
Love is a superstar. Maybe it hasn't shown quite the way you would've hoped yet, but he is dynamite on offense. I've been watching him do it every Nite since he came into the league.

If you can somehow find a rim protecter to cover up his defensive woes, you're good to go. I actually thought his defense would improve after the trade. If you're good enough to be in the NBA then you're capable of playing respectable defense. It's more of an effort thing. I thought joining forces with LeBron would make him take it seriously. He wouldn't be great, but there is no reason to be atrocious.

Offensively I thought LeBron was the perfect guy to pair him with. LBJ is one superstar who is ok with deferring to someone else. Once the Cavs gel (which they will) they will be tough to beat. KLove can carry an offense by himself I can assure you that.

The Cavs still have a lot of games to figure this out before the playoffs. Love needs to be made more of a focal point on offense, that's for sure.

For anyone still upset about the trade, you need to get over it. You always trade an unknown (Wiggins) for a star (Love). And Bennett is an absolute bum so I wouldn't lose sleep over him.
 
I'm still on team love, but to consider him a top 5 nba player and he only plays one way..ludacris.

We didn't get a big three.

Oh, you got a big three. He may not be top 5 but he's easily top 10. I'd take him over Kyrie in a heartbeat.

If you've only watched him as a Cav that's obviously hard to believe, but make no mistake, he's a stud. The way he's being used is the problem. There is a reason LBJ wanted him.

I think Kyrie is the problem. He should be moved. I don't know for who but to me he's the one who doesn't mesh.
 
i woulndt put kyrie anywhere near top 10 either.

One way players dont deserve any sort of title as superstar players. You cant play half the game and be a liability on the other half, equaling a marginal +net and be a top 10 player.
 
Anybody who has watched the Cavs every game this year and would take Love over Kyrie is smoking something good. The three will eventually workout. Just takes time, people.
 
To me Love is a very good player, but no way is he a superstar.
