Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[MirORich]

Me too especially since he is known as Mr. 1st Quarter, what an uncanny turn of events. He shot over 50%! Group hug in the showers tonight!

LOL. Did you actually watch the game tonight?

And I know it's fun to poke fun of those that you consider Love "ride or die" fans, but he is on our team and him performing the way he did tonight will play a huge part in whether or not we win in the finals.

It also wasn't an anomaly. How he played tonight is also pretty much in line with how good he's been since February(you remember, that short month), just with more focus on the inside game.

I still don't know if Love played good or not. Usually it's just positive comments when someone plays good. I'm still seeing backhanded compliments and such. Then again, I don't see our flying non-mammalian friend.

Just look for anything from me asking where the bird is at...that means he played well. I'm hoping one day the shaming will lead to Birdman saying his 1st positive thing about the Cavs ever.

This was definitely one of Love's best games as a Cav, at least as far as playing the way that's going to benefit the team's chances at a title. Only 6 of his 17 shots were 3s and he showed his usual good judgment in taking shots inside the arc.. by my count he was 7 for 11 there. The guy just rarely forces a shot. They need to utilize this efficiency consistently.

Nice to see Love get it going tonight.. I really felt like he said fuck it and ran off the 3pt line and just went for it. Once that happened, he just started feeling it.

You can tell the guy is a natural baller. I think we've got to get to the point where we trust his judgement and allow him to play his game just as we do Kyrie and James.

Did Kevin Love have a good game???

We got arguably the two best posters posting back to back what a glorious moment on rcf. Of course I remember Richard, I'm just glad you did. Love played good tonight, my other post was drenched with sarcasm. I agree, if Love plays like tonight shooting around 50% versus 5 points completely lost Kevin we might actually win the thing.

Silly Richard, Love plays great every night. He works in mysterious ways.

Agreed, he seemed to finally take charge tonight for the first time in awhile. I haven't seen him upfake and drive to the basket with regularity like he did tonight. With the players he has around him, the space to pull off that move should almost always be there.

I was shocked at times by his defense. Took a double take to make sure it was him when he stuck with freakin Monta Ellis on the perimeter and almost had that forced TO.

Joe Harris... Not ready for the moment

Is Haywood the boss looking fellow in the front left?

So did Varejao take the picture or is he off filming more Mr. Hero commercials?

It was great to see Kevin Love playing like Kevin Love instead of playing like a smaller Ryan Anderson last night. Really glad because the Cavs need someone to make those kind of plays if they make it into the finals

Anyone else seeing K Love with the "Menace" hat??? Looks like Miller/Jones may have custom hats too

Amazing people are still on here whining about this guy.

February:

44.3% FG, 58.2% TS, 15.9 PPG, 9.7 REB, 2.2 AST

Last 10:

45.5% FG, 60.4% TS, 17.6 PPG, 9.9 REB, 2.2 AST

Last 5:

48.1% FG, 64.5% TS, 16.4 PPG, 10 REB, 2.2 AST

His shooting percentage has slowly risen every month since December, probably indicating he's getting more comfortable in his role. Everything seems to be trending the right way with K-Love, which is great heading down the stretch.

Oh and that is our THIRD option....insane.
