Hoping that is his 3 ball back on track after a rough stretch the last 3 weeks. Rondo back should help all the bench guys getting the shots in their spots. Thought he clearly gassed late in the 3rd and had little remaining in that short run in the 4th, thankfully JB recognized it and got him out.

Not all bench guys, cedi's shot still looked broken, Windler's shot remains like a groundhog, affraid of its own shadow.
 
25 pts in 27 min tonight...vs the Bucks, too, not some bum opponent.

I predicted he'd get out of his slump, but didn't expect him to put up the kinds of numbers he was putting up back when Rubio was still healthy.

But he's been on fire the last two wins again. Definitely silenced the critics.
 
Noticed something tonight in watching game cast of the game. Gio tried to take back control of the game late 3rd early 4th. He had a couple big buckets, some defensive plays and 3 or 4 rebounds. Love almost matched him point for point, action for action. At a time that Cleve could have lost control of the game, Kevin seemed to be saying he wasn’t going to let it happen.

Kevin Love is a very good player. Tonight was vintage Kevin. He’s been fired up by this team and is playing like he’s capable of playing. 25/9 in 26 minutes is awesome.
 
Loves per-36 numbers are 23/12/4 on the highest effective field goal percentage of his career. Should be 6th man of the year IMO. He’s straight up winning games for us. The combination of this young hard-working joyful team and playing fewer minutes so he is in top form all the time has totally revived him. Don’t believe in trading him at all any more. Have him take lower pay on his next deal and retire a Cav
 
Saw some hate for Rondo, but he has been getting it to Love in his spots. Much better. Love has been very aggressive with his shot. I love it when he has a smaller guy and he just goes for it
 
Maybe I'm dreaming but love this season seams to have really sped up his shot. His release appears drastically quicker than it has been in the past. Some shots today it was like the ball was barley in his grasp before he released

I was lobbying some for reducing Love's minutes by just a bit to keep from wearing him down. That was before Lauri went down. Out of necessity he's having to step up for more minutes and so far he's been up to the task, good on him. He's a consummate professional.

I think you were right about his minutes. It looks to me like his effectiveness goes down after about 7 or 8 minutes each half. 18-22 total is probably the sweet spot.

Over the remainder of the season JBB will really need to consider minutes management for certain guys, mainly KLove and Garland. They're the two I worry most about wearing down as the season grinds along, and they're both of critical importance for any success when the playoffs get here.

His failure to manage minutes for Rubio probably contributed to that injury. I hope he learned something
