baby, that was the old me
Its nobody fault but kevin Love. I watch the games dude misses WIDE open shots i mean WIDE open 3s and jumpers regulary. Talented but no heart. Bet Cari Champion wont call THAT out
:ohhh:

Dead on.


Per nba.com, Love is shooting 20.7 percent on catch-and-shoot threes since the All-Star break, well below his overall season average of 35.4 percent. On wide-open threes - which account for 24.2 percent of his shots - Love is shooting 25 percent from deep. When he's categorized as 'open', Love is making just 9.5 percent of his threes. For the year, Love is making 36.7 percent of his wide open threes and 29.4 percent of his open threes

Chris bosh is so much more efficient than this bum

Shooting 41% from the field as a big man and looking like a slightly better Reggie Evans.

Chris bosh was shooting his highest %s with Lebron... Is Love just been exposed? Was he a fake allstar talent?

I used to say this back when he was in minny but k love is the epitome of empty stats, I never understood why anyone gassed him up to be some elite big man

He's tall with mass and uses that to his advantage...like a lot of other big white boys who don't play in the league would...his first step isn't quick enough to beat anyone...he can't handle anyone's first step...he gets jumped over...if he miss times his jump by less than a millisecond he's not getting the rebound...he is a subpar nba player with an ok outside shot(that has a SLOW release for nba standard and can't be off the dribble must be set)...he is a sixth or maybe seventh man.

Athletically he is not NBA ready...dirk is 7ft...love is not therefore average at best :francis:

Yep white big men usually need size to negate their lack of speed and agility. Love problem is he isn't a 7 footer like Dirk, doesn't have the handles like Dirk and he isnt a big time shooter like Dirk. However love is tougher than Dirk and doesn't mind getting in the paint and battling for boards unlike Dirk.

But that is my issue with love is he is wishy washy this year when it comes to being aggressive grabbing boards. Maybe he is waiting for the playoffs to go all out because he is somewhat injury prone.

I like loves game honestly...and have seen him ball a few games since I upped this post...he is a grinder down low unlike dirk and he can create points through fouls when in the post...but Tristan and frye are definately needed...love just isn't a good enough athlete to count on solely night in and night out...dirk became lethal at shooting cuz he knew rebounding wasn't his thing and he'd need to counter the weakness...I'm just waiting (and hoping) to see what is going to become his lethal weapon to counter his weakness (athletic ability/speed/hops) cuz we'll need it in the playoffs.

True I also think that the mavericks always put rebounders and defenders on the floor because that was Dirk's weakness. So Dirk could focus on scoring.

With the Cavs they need Love for rebounding, scoring and spacing out to the three line.

However unlike Dirk......love struggles with confidence. That is the thing with Dirk he was a pure scorer that never lacked confidence in himself. Where as love is a all around good player (passing, rebounding and scoring) but he seems to lose confidence when things aren't going well for him.

But we will see maybe he gets his confidence back.

Another issue is that he has never been on a winning team and had to play with expectations until last year.

Folks can complain about Lebron all they want but that brotha had expectations on him since he was 15 and he reached every expectation that folks had of him.

Real talk about bron...buddy was born for this. I actually like love in the clutch(if wide open)...but his confidence does come and go throughout the game...it needs to become his personality...I think the arrival of frye has really helped love...fellow pac12 guy to settle him down and he takes a lot of the positions pressure off unlike Mozgov...I honestly think the Cavs could be lethal in the playoffs no matter who we face...it's just which k love will show up...tonight will be a good example.
