What happened to Love's offensive rebounding??

[dubeta]

Dude used to get 4-5 offensive boards in Minny, is he really that injured right now?

Anyone who says LeBron Ball gets negged

[Lebronxrings]

winning and unable to stat pad

[JohnMax]

Lebron ball

[Milbuck]

Lebron ball

[kurple]

standing at the 3pt line most of the time

[Jailblazers7]

He started shooting 3's and his offensive rebounding numbers went down. Not a big surprise.

[VengefulAngel]

Lebron ball

But Lebron is not shooting 57% this season, in past season's I would agree as he doesn't lead to many offensive board opportunities.

[AirFederer]

Same thing as what happened to Bosh. Camping at three point line won't get him many offensive rebounds..

But he's willing to sacrifice stats... :applause:

Blatt has him on the 3 point line a lot more now. He isn't in the post nearly as much anymore

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yeah, but there have been a lot of stretches where they've played Love in the post for several straight possessions. Obvously, he's not going to get as many post ups as he got on the T-Wolves, but I think he's been rebounding great considering his reduced role

[FatComputerNerd]

Playing next to Varejao and TT, who are both among the best offensive rebounders in the league may have something to do with it. :confusedshrug:


We have a lot of good rebounders. He doesn't need to put the same type of stats up as he did in Minny.

Seen him posting up a lot lately though...and quite effectively.

neither remotely as good as Pekovic.
Has to be something else, which it is: he is constantly out of position at the three point line. He's a fine shooter but that's a stupendous waste of talent by any coach foolish enough to do it.

Alderman did the same thing and it's idiotic.

No, Kevin Loves three point shooting is definitely his best offensive attribute and what makes him lethal offensively. It would be foolish to have him clogging the lane looking for offensive rebounds numbers and his post game is rather limited from his lack of length and strength and speed if you go usually lack the other two.

In fact Love has rarely has good offensive gamse where he wasnt hot from three. And Im not exaggerating.

In fact I dont think Love has ever had a good offensive game where he wasnt hot from three. And Im not exaggerating.
we gotta disagree there my friend. Love in the post is at the all-time-great level. Lack of strength? No. He pushes around anyone with great ease.

His footwork, stealth, tremendous lower body strength and suite of moves make him unstoppable from the left block and nearly so from the right side.

All time great? Bruh. :oldlol:


He can post up, but it's obviously why his game has never been focused down there. In fact, his only consistent move is the turnaround hook.

[FatComputerNerd]

He had a pretty sick up and under last night.

I actually never realized how good his post game was prior to this, as I never watched a lot of T-wolves games.

Disagree strongly with his post game being "rather limited".

But yes, his rebounds have dropped because he's being forced out to the 3 point line on offense. It's the same thing that happened with Bosh. Consequence of playing, with Irving, Lebron and Waiters.

[plowking]

I think Love averaging 26/13/4 and not being recognized as a truly great player says enough about what most people think of him. Those are prime Barkley numbers, and he got no recognition.

He clearly isn't as good as his numbers suggest, but due to having a mentality of wanting to be the guy to shoot as much as possible, he got his stats on Minny. He is a good player, not a great one.

I still find it hilarious that pauk at one point said he was better than Durant. Someone please bump that thread, so every time Bron fans whine about the supporting cast we can show them that. :oldlol:

He shot like 7 threes a game last year...

I know you're a big Pek fan - how would you compare him to the following guys?

Dieng
Bogut
Vucevic
Monroe

Nice way of engaging in hyperbole,






I said Love is 'one' of the worst PF, not the worst PF there's a big difference there get it right smh :facepalm

[hahaitme]

Combination of taking less shots and being used more for spacing.

Or I could just go with the flow and say it;

Lebron ball.

[sportjames23]

Ball de Lebron

[pauk]

Lebron holding him down, needs to brick more shots.

[ImKobe]

Lebron ball.

How do you expect him to get offensive rebounds when he's camping on the perimeter to space the floor for a has been?

Can you imagine if he played with Kobe??! 10+ offensive rebounds a game:bowdown:

that old guy in your avi would not argue about Kevin Love standing around at the 3 point line like a Kevin Martin Reggie Miller Derek Fisher Steve Kerr spot shooter.
It just wouldn't happen.

Something like this would get barked at a reporter:
"I don't waste my guards on basketball like that. Nobody gets a night off like that on my teams. We all work. So why would I have Kevin Love standing around? It's crazy! He's one of the great rebounders and inside men in the game. Motion and position, that's what wins ball games."

You gotta love how Love conveniently ended up on the Cavs. Perfect. :oldlol:

Notice how he won't even acknowledge the post... :oldlol:

[dubeta]

Leave pauk alone guys people can be misled, we're not right all the time

Heck from afar even I thought Love was a star, but a close examination led me to learn the truth about him, far before he signed with the Cavs

You sniffed his butt and came up with your conclusion?

[dubeta]

Besides since when has being better than Durant been the measuring stick for being a star?

And you wonder why you haven't made manager yet at McDonald's at 40 years old....keep this up and you will be wrapping burritos soon.....one more thing....shine my fvcking shoes garbage can ho

[Lebron23]

When Lebron was shooting sub 40% in the Cavs first few games of the season. Love was averaging in double figures. I think he still finish the season averaging 19 ppg and 12 rpg.

[Lebron23]

And you wonder why you haven't made manager yet at McDonald's at 40 years old....keep this up and you will be wrapping burritos soon.....one more thing....shine my fvcking shoes garbage can ho

Come on bro?? Why are you always angry and repeating the same insults??

[riseagainst]

how can he get offensive rebounds when he's forced to camp out in the perimeter standing there waiting for lebron to pass to him with 3 seconds left?
#lebronball

[dunksby]

Nothing but you shouldn't be worried about his rebounding when you have a better player than Durant to support LeBron :pimp:

[ralph_i_el]

He's never on the block. Not a lot of rebounding opportunity 20 ft from the bucket

[dunksby]

Here are the stats regarding rebounding opportunities that most people cite as the main reason:

Rebounding Opportunities: The number of times player was within the vicinity (3.5 ft) of a rebound. Measures the number of rebounds a player recovers compared to the number of rebounding chances available as well as whether or not the rebound was contested by an opponent or deferred to a teammate.

http://s22.postimg.org/z3p9gfmlt/Reb.png

Love is pulling 61% of the rebound opportunities he gets off the boards.

[upside24]

Don't know what the deal is with Love. Maybe he is being used poorly in the offense like others have said but I havn't seen anything positive about his play so far this year.

LeBron is playing well as is Kyrie, but Love isn't contributing a lot to the team. Watch the Spurs game and how Diaw abused him.
