I see the Love Hate doesn't rest, even when he does.
There's a thin line between Love and Hate...
I see the Love Hate doesn't rest, even when he does.
Or perhaps the pro Love group just wanted him because he was a superstarThe largest group supporting the Love trade were the fan boys in the media and the frontrunner fans who just came back after 4 years. "Gotta win now," they said. It's like they were just going off of star power alone. The basketball community and people that were regulars here during the dark ages were more divided. Having Wiggins would have eliminated the need to play Marion last night, for example.
I think this is just faulty logic though.
Does everyone honestly think Wiggins would be getting the 15-18 shots a game he's been putting up? To work through the kinks and slowly develop more confidence? Kevin Love, a guy who averaged 26 points the year before, is being largely ignored....but a rookie playing out of position is going to get to hoist up 5 more shots per game? And continue to be carted out there on a team trying to win a title?
Imagine if he had shot 39% the first two months in Cleveland. Would he have been benched at some point? He'd have been all over SC and pundits would be roasting him as a bust. His confidence would likely have spiraled out of control and he could have been damaged goods, regardless of his potential. He's been afforded the opportunity to grow and work through those pains in relative anonymity. I don't think anyone can quantify how important that has been for his development.
Any updates on Love's back?
Do we know his status for Monday?
Pretty confident that Kevin couldn't care less how Wiggins is playing.Wiggins playing like this is not making it any easier for Love. Dude looks so depressed whenever I see him.
Hopefully Wiggins doing well will motivate Kevin to playing even better and harder.
Frankly, that is all we can wish for right now instead of going into suicide mode.
