only ISH overrates him. Outside of ISH, people barely acknowledge him.

[HomieWeMajor]

He's a soft jumpshooting Moses Malone with no defense.

[Johnny Jones]

Kevin Love is the biggest choke artist in the NBA right now. In close games with under 5 minutes left, his FG% goes down to 38% and his FT% dips down to 62%.

Has love been hanging out with Jason Collins? I heard that niqqas been choking recently......

pretty sure he has a special technique that allows him to go choke free.........

.
blowing the lead however......now that he does, frequently

[sick_brah07]

you have no idea what your talking about.

Love inst the greatest defender on earth... but every single game he comes out good and gets on the roll the second he gets off the court (the end of quaters and start of quaters) the wolves suck so much they blow the lead and then expect love to come back on and get them into the game which he normally does a decent job at they just cannot close games because of there bench

the wolves bench is one of the worst benches i have ever seen in my life. They may not have the worst "talented" bench but they just cannot hold the lead in a game or keep the tempo of a game going at the same rate

Love brings it against every single good front court and has outplayed individually all big men at some point this season

The wolves starting 5 is OK but that bench is a joke

Kevin has choked some games but all players do it but the sole reason they have blown 95% of games is because of there bench

I agree with most of this.

[wally_world]

Give the Suns credit. They won the game more than the Wolves chokin it away. Love was actually pretty uninvolved in the game tho despite the great statline.

real mature tom

how about we get some actual discussion from you once in a while?

[All Net]

He's not the kind to just throw it to and expect results.

[Eric Cartman]

The Lebron James of power forward. Only difference is he doesn't have a D-Wade to bail him out.

[TheReturn]

His style of play isn't made for iso 1 on 1 game winners. He scores his 30 on catch and shoots, rolls to the basket, seals and just random rubio passes. The defense takes those things away in the final quarter and you end up with a Dante Cunningham midrange jumper or a Corey Brewer 3, good luck winning games with that.

Finally a poster that has actually watched a Wolves game.

Its on Adelman, the last 5 or so minutes is just Love iso's and has been all season. He can't score in iso's so he ends up missing or getting a turnover.

Wolves look the best when Rubio runs the offense and Love gets his within the offense but for some reason Adelman doesn't like that.

Our bench is also a joke. Shabazz is the only good one there and he doesn't get minutes.

you know how many times Kobe did that in his prime :confusedshrug:

You need a batman for a Robin

[DMAVS41]

Love has been bad late in games and there is no excuse for that as a player at his level...but as some have said, his game isn't really well suited for that.

But that isn't the main problem with this team. And I think we've been too hard on Love...especially me...

Wolves with Love on the court? +7.7 points over 100 possessions
Wolves without Love on the court? -10.8 points over 100 possessions

That is absurd. And makes life just so damn difficult when every time Love goes to the bench...his team gets murdered.

Contrast that with the Spurs...

Spurs with Duncan on the court? +7.1 points over 100 possessions
Spurs without Duncan on the court? +9.5 points over 100 possessions

Look at that. The Spurs bench or ability to play without Duncan is ****ing 20.3 points better per 100 possessions. That is absurd!

The boy ain't never told no lie

Bran just shit the bed on a big stage...again.

Scapegoats don't exist.
