Got a ton of respect for Kevin. A ton.

He's been struggling all year, got a get out of jail free card served on a silver and instead of reaching his hand out and grabbing it, he kicked the waiter in the nuts and went back out on the court.

Anyone who wants to say this guy isn't a winner is a moron. He's slogging through injuries, a shooting slump and a tough transition and he just keeps lacing them up and taking his medicine. His selflessness for someone described as an empty stat stuffer is incredible.

Can't wait till he breaks out of this slump. It's going to be a ton of fun seeing him get rewarded for being a good teammate.

He needs to rest up. His confidence is shot b/c of the injury. He didn't want the ball at all in the 4th which almost contributed to a turnover when he tried to get rid of it quickly to Smith...looked like he was playing hot potato.
 
I don't know how anyone can't be worried about him. Look, we know he's good, I don't think there seriously needs to be an argument made on his behalf, about how good he is.

It's obvious, or should be, he's not right. Please, shut him down. Seriously, give him two weeks off, let him relax, get proper treatment, then let's make a run.

His character shouldn't be in question, but his health should.
 
My guess is he's gutting it out until the al star break. He'll get a few days to rest then and assess where's he's at.
 
Yeah this was the first game I really got pissed at him. Close game and dude was missing wide-open shots all over the place.

If he's injured rest him, it's not like we'll miss much if he keeps playing like this.
 
So if we rest him, we only have two bigs. How the hell can you rest him if he physically can go out there and run up and down the court? We need the minutes out of him.

I think if they decided to rest him they could sign a big man to a 10 day contract. I know that player wouldn't be anything special, but they could at least add temporary depth.

We have an open roster spot.

Go sign the best D-League big we can to a 10 day contract and see if you can't shut him down for a bit.

There are a few decent options out there for spot duty.
 
He is clearly hurt. There's no question about it. The All-Star game break should be huge for him.

The best thing about the game tonight was his first one or two 3's that he took actually had some arc on them. His form looked like his regular form and not like the flat shot we've seen most of the year.

He's a gamer. Full respect for him and I can't wait until we get to see the real version of him. When we get Rested LeBron, Super Kyrie and Healthy Kevin all playing at the same time we are going to kick some serious ass.
 
I will go as far as to say that Love isn't even in the top 5 of most impactful players on the Cavs right now. No harm in shutting him down if he's hurt. If he's not hurt, I'm concerned.
 
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Kevin Love right now. As a fan, of course it's frustrating seeing him miss every wide open 3 he gets, especially for the money he's being paid. I get that, I really do. This guy is the ultimate team player. When he had the back spasms acting up in the Laker game, he played anyway and took a charge right on his back that was a huge play. He's clearly playing through pain, yet he's rebounding and really trying on defense. He's been nothing but selfless and you have to respect that as a teammate. All-Star break can't get here soon enough for him.
 
Where is Michael Eric these days? I remember Byron Scott describing him as the next Serge Ibaka. LOL those were the days...Now we get to gripe about Kevin Love!
