Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[Triplethreat]

I find 19 minutes a game for him absurd…

He should be somewhere around 25-28

Bad shooting night after a couple days rest. Couldn’t buy a bucket last night.
They’ll need productivity vs the Celts.

If 19 minutes a game keeps him healthy and playing all year, I’d rather stick to it.

He led the team in games played last year.

I don't think he's up for more than 20 per game. He can shoot 3s, occasionally score inside, rebound and take charges, but his feet are too slow to do much on defense.

Kevin brings intangibles to this team, veteran respected leadership and he’s a sniper. He can still rebound, pass and plays with his head.
Overpaid obviously, but there’s no way they consider moving him. He’s found a great niche for himself.

I think he comes back next year, obviously at a lower salary.

Think love should get junkyard dog tonight.

Think love should get junkyard dog tonight.

I'd have him 4th I think just because of what the spirit of the award is.

Mitchell gutted out the game with the whole team on his back to turn it around.
Wade had to deal with Randle bully ball on one end and still stay hot on offense.
Okoro came in and played lock down D when seemingly nobody on the Cavs could

What's the spirit of the award? I thought it was who really showed up tonight. Love is old as hell and saved us.

It's the whole 'junkyard dog' attitude behind the team that inspired the chain. Love was flamethrower off the bench but nothing about this game screamed the sort of toughness mentality that typically ends up in guys getting it. Looks like it went to Dean who I think was super deserving.

Great. Has a confidence that is contagious. Glad he regressed to the mean after last game because so did Caris!

Love had 2 charges drawn, got on the floor to force a jump ball, and grabbed 8 rebounds in 22 minutes. Definitely wouldn't say he showed no dog tonight.

Yeah, to start the year I was looking at Loves salary to fill out the trade for an upgrade at SF.. but I am thinking his impact on the team attitude might be too important for that. Net net we lose value if we re-up him on a cheaper contract, but I wouldn't mind retiring him to the rafters, especially if we win another chip..
