Kevin Love - Miami Ground Machine

[Cement]

Dylan Windler is giving us more than this guy.

 

[BiGZD]

Dude has looked completely washed since his finger injury. It's insane before that he was like the league leader in plus/minus. I honestly wish he hadnt tried to play though it because he even admitted he changed his shooting motion which I'm strongly against.

We really need Wade back. Right now Love is the only big who can make the opponent guard to the 3 point line. With Dean back, maybe we could get Kevin some rest where he could get right.

Which means he's fine.

Everyone just chill. He's human.

He's gonna be good after the asb

KLOVE IS TRASH NOW

 

[Futuredome]

Gotta go.

 

[cabs]

unplayable, if we give him anything more than Vet min next season we are crazy

 

[Jontibs]

Shot more air balls in the last month than the rest of his Cavs career put together. Okoro shooting 50% this month with Love at like 10%, are we in the upside down?

 

[Jontibs]

Good shooters can have runs where the rhythm is still pretty good but it just isn't going in as consistently. Not the case with Love at the moment, every shot is coming out with a different trajectory, pace and spin. Not sure the Cavs can afford him trying to shoot his way out of this in game, especially with his defensive issues.

If Wade was available it would be a fairly easy call to sit him and let him work with the coaches to get his stroke back. Or just look for a trade.

his most effective moment on the court in about a month -

 

[Douglar]

I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on. Love lost his 3pt shot in a high stakes poker game with Okoro.

 

[Rich]

Even if he finds his 3 point stroke, and he probably will, that still doesn't solve the riddle.

Can you play him, with these defensive deficiencies, in the postseason when a team will target him game after game? More than just a few minutes here and there?

Because if you think the answer is no, you should still try and find a trade partner due to his contract situation.

I’d bet KLove is 100% ready for Dean to get back. He needs a break.

How far along is he? I’m dying to see him back in the rotation. Think he’s a guy that Rubio can seriously unlock even further.

I never heard anything about him changing his shooting motion.

It's not the finger. In his last six games he's 3-for-27 on 3's. The six games before that (starting on Dec. 21) he was 17-for-37 (45.9%). His finger injury kept him out for almost two weeks in late November.

It could be his legs are tired. Most of his missed 3's are short from what I've observed. He's still creating scoring opportunities with smart passes and the defensive rebounding is there. But no scoring or rim protection limits his value as a power forward.
