First slump of the year. Next comes the Red Hot Heat...........
At least you'll have the blanket of familiar territory to get cozy beneath.I'm probably overreacting a lot, but this team has no heart. I'm just not comfortable where this is shaking out.
Anyone getting the vibe postgame that LeBron is calling out Kevin Love on his defense?
Sometimes I really wonder about Love, it sucks to say, but he plays soft. You can pull whatever numbers to make some kind of claim that Love is actually an okay defender; I just can't deny what my eyes are telling me.
Kevin Love plays faux defense.
Love is really an all-or nothing player. If his offense isn't clicking, his defense is so weak it negates whatever else he's giving you. He's actually an exceptional passer, but we never feature him in any kind of role like that. And when Irving comes back, Love is going to touch it even less.
Everybody including LeBron probably thought Love could fill that Chris Bosh role, but Chris Bosh actually played defense, his shot rarely went cold. Even if Love averages 3-4 more rebounds for his career, I'd still take Bosh because I think those extra stats Love accumulates don't accurately portray how weak he is on the other end of the court.
Tristan Thompson sucks too, you have to wonder if last season's playoffs were the height of his career.

Yikes....Ugh....
"I told Coach I was ready, but keep those guys in, see what they can do [...]."
- Kevin Love, to Coach from the bench
"At this point, we are who we are as players [...]."
- Mo Williams, to reporter after asking why Mo sucks at defense and if he'll improve
"It's my things [...] I keep them with me."
- Mozgov, to reporter after asking Mozgov what's wrong with him this season
"I mean, I had 15 in the first [...]. I don’t know what else you want me to do."
- J.R. Smith, to reporter after asking why he didn't score much anymore after the first
This team thus far is just full of hungry and aggressive $%#!^&* winners that want to participate in every second of a championship run. </sarcasm>
I feel awful for LeBron.
Is this real? J.R couldn't have said that? I know he's used to losing from his days as a Knick but that mindset is poisonous. What else you want me to do?Ugh....

13-5 really ain't that bad
