There is no doubt about this.
Lebron will put on weight and go back to PF.

Love is a role player on this team.
Not all his fault though, but yeah he looks hell awkward out there.
Love is being targeted by opposing teams offenses, his defense is that bad.

Have you seen the IQ level of his PG and SG?

The Miami small ball was the perfect system for Lebron. The fast, trapping defense was perfect as well. It's a shame Wade fell off a cliff, LBJ was obviously carrying too much towards the end.

Waiters and Love showed me precisely why Cleveland isn't winning a championship anytime soon.
Those guys just don't mesh at all on this team.
Waiters wants to be the man, throwing up fade away long 2s with nobody on him :lol
irving at least attacks the rim and has amazing handles to fall on. He and Lebron will be fine.
The rest of the team....yuck
there is varejeo, but he is an injury waiting to happen.

That's what true superstar legend do. He just wanted to jump on the next big thing.

Okay say Love slides into centre. Love will be a black hole on defence of course so they can utilize the old quick trap/double team weak side in the post which they did for Bosh at times. Offensively though Love will be pulling all the bigs out to the 3 pt line and there will be no shot blocker as the other PF will be on Lebron and Lebron can drive at will. Trade that waiters kid he thinks he is the next Tmac. Get a tony allen type player for him or a shane battier type player who will do the small things to pro long the offence.

He did and thats the truth. he had no idea however on how hard it is to put this team together. These kids don't want to sacrifice like Bosh/Wade did or KG/Allen did at that stage of their careers. These kids still want to make a name for themselves first.

I'll just throw this out there:
This year, 43% of Love's shot attempts have been 3's, highest in his career by far. Plus he's also at the lowest ORB% of his career, easily.

This. Also the last two Cleveland teams Lebron was on before he went to Miami was also perfect for his athletic prime (except that there was no other legit scoring threat).

I think we can all agree Lebron looked so much cooler in Miami
He looks ****ing horrible in mustard. It hurts my eyes every time i look at him now
When he was rocking that black and red, he looked so much cooler.

I know. These high-powered scoring centers like Noah, Jordan, Drummond, and Chandler will hang 40+ on him very night.

It's less about scoring ability and more about getting absolutely man handled IMO. The entire league knows he cant play defense, so every big will just go right at him. Chandler especially had a field day back when he was playing for the Knicks and had a game winning dunk over him I think. Plus, dude's only 6'9...

Drummond isn't very good in the post. The one thing he can do very well is overpower a weak defender. Maybe not to the tune of 40 points, but he'd have his way with Love.

Yet you say the majority of Love's FGA's should come from the paint. So wouldn't the bigs come right at him considering like you said, he's only 6'9?

Love is a better Offensive player than on Defense. :biggums:
Damn you thought you struck gold with that one huh? :oldlol:

Wade didn't fall off, LeBron pushed him.
Cavs need to play slower, get Hibbert to protect rim and hide Love and Irving's mistakes in defense. I'd say Lebron too but he gets more serious on D during the playoffs.

It's obvious Love wont thrive unless he's the first option playing from the Paint. Not shooting 15 footers, post fadeaways or three pointers every possession
couple hours later
"Love is too undersized to play Center"
Exposing your dumb ass thoughts isn't what I call striking gold. It's called, par for the course.
Keep better track of your trolling next time and that won't happen.

You don't realize the difference between scoring on PFs and Centers? :roll:
Most Centers are the best defenders in the league, if Love moved to Center and had to play one on one like that each night he'd get eaten for breakfast.
This is obvious shit. Get your head out of your ass.
Your ho ass needs to stop catching feelngs. Are you even a Cavs fan Ho bait?

Dat LeBron James effect though! Proving that anyone can be turned into nothing but a spot-up shooter. :bowdown: :applause:

Love is pretty good at holding his position when defending 1:1 in my opinion. He did very well against Duncan when Cavs played the Spurs a couple of days ago and I can imagine a lot of players besides Boogie that could manhandle him.

bosh is a better athlete, taller, and a smarter defender than love.
andy has played well so far this year, he shouldnt be the one punished for the poor start.

centers have to play help defense, and protect that rim, two things andy does much better than love.

Love is 6-7 and 3/4 tall and weighs about 230lbs with a 6-11 armspan... not good NBA center size.

Shooting more 3's moves him out of OReb position.
