Mike Scott, a stretch 4, is shutting Kevin Love down in the post.


Mike Scott is a 6'9 3 point shooting 4 and Love cant even post him up. I thought he was good in the post.

Kevin love cant post up where did this myth come from

[LoneyROY7]

He is who we thought he was.

[JT123]

Bullshit! It's not Love's fault that Lebron ball is forcing him out to the....oh wait. :lol

[senelcoolidge]

He can't even put up empty stats.

Haha what? He played wth no one in Minny and had great games on the reg he was the only target on that team every night.

[Keno]

but but lebron makes his worse.

[Kingwillball]

No excuse for Love Not to have big game without Lebron playing this guy has been huge bust so far this year one one of major reasons Cavs are mediocre.

[NBASTATMAN]

Horrible move trading Wiggins for LOVE... They should have kept him to learn under Lebron.. What a mistake.. Under the tutelage of Lebron Wiggins would have been a star by next season..

[LAZERUSS]

Well, to be fair here...as of the moment, Wiggins has 4 pts and 4 rebs in 18 minutes, and on 2-9 shooting himself.

BTW, the Bulls are also getting blown out at home, in a game in which Rose and Butler have combined to shoot 4-25.

Just some food for thought...

[R.I.P.]

They don

[navy]

No stats. :oldlol:

What's up with K.Love? I haven't been watching a lot of Cav games, but this guy is a 26ppg and 13 rpg type of dude. Where the hell is that and why is Kyrie Irving getting more shots than him?

K.Love 3pt pct is down as well. So, what's up? I would figure he'll be more efficient with less volume due to LBJ and Irving getting all the attention, but nope.

Anyway, don't think K.Love is garbage, but he hasn't been playing well lately. Maybe it's the system?

[Mr. Jabbar]

Irving is thhe only one from the "big 3" worthy of the cavs organization/fans, the other 2 are either busts or a backstabber

He's playing like garbage. It's pretty obvious that it's not Lebron or Kyries fault like people tried to say. Cant even get play time in fourth quarters.

He's apparently having back troubles, so let's give him a slight reprieve for now. Back spasms have a huge effect on someone like his game as he isnt athletic to begin with.

[sbw19]

He used to be #1 guy and now he's having a tough time adjusting to a new pecking order. Bosh cautioned him. Something about appetizers and desserts.

Lol can't use that excuse

[sbw19]

Lol can't use that excuse
It's a new role, a different role. He says all the right things, but it's obvious he's struggling to fit in and it'll take him a while before he adjusts. Doesn't help that he has a rookie coach either.

[Droid101]

I know right? He must have forgotten how to.

I mean playing with Bron/Kyrie you will get less touches so its obvious your numbers will go down. But i just think hes on a bad stretch or something, i know Blatt ain't a great coach ( yet) but a lot of TV announcers say why is he not on the post, If i remember correctly he ain't that special from the post, not bad but certainty not a must feed

[robert de niro]

he had rubio to spoon feed him, and get all the rebounds from his missed shots :lebronamazed:

He's posting up more than anyone of the team. That's not the problem. He's just playing like garbage. And playing no defense.

Like I said maybe it's his back, but there is no reason to blame Lebron, Kyrie, and Blatt for such terrible play recently.

[Warfan]

Whenever I watch cavs games (to be fair, not very often) it seems that he will often have a really good 1st qtr, score 10+ points and then not do much the rest of the game and end up with 16-20 points while playing poor defense. Also seems to be missing open looks too.

Anyone have stats to compare fg% and pts/reb/ast through each quarter? I'd imagine his 4th quarter shooting and stats are noticeably worse than the 1st.

Heard he got benched in the 4th in some games too :wtf:

Heard he got benched in the 4th a couple times :wtf:
He doesnt play in fourth quarters recently. Non existent defense.

Yes, he fades in games. They try to get him going early despite people claiming otherwise. I think he's the only person that has plays run for him. Usually it works but then he just gets cold missing easy shots and open looks. Maybe he's getting tired or something. Or it's just a bad stetch magnified by him being in the spotlight. His fourth quarter numbers werent good in Minny. But I cant imagine him being this bad for long. And he's been playing worst with no Varejao. So you cant give up on him yet.

Because he's a better scorer. Period.

That should be pretty obvious by now. Love is a very good player and will eventually begin coming around, but having watched them for 30 games, Kyrie is the clear No. 2 scoring option and sometimes moves to No. 1 when he has it going. Love is a pretty consistent 3rd option on this team.

[navy]

Love is a pretty consistent

Does not compute.

And from that time on Wiggins picked it up and finished with 21, his 3rd 20+ point game in 4 games, also the 3rd game in which he shot over 50% in that span. He's getting there.

Another thought, I wonder what people think now of Chris Bosh saying Love would have to adjust his game playing with Lebron and Kyrie.

I suppose this year?

But K.Love was still the guy who scored 26 pts on 18.5 shots on 45.7% FG and 59.1% TS. That's better than Kyrie Irving ever did. Coming to the season, I thought K.Love would've had the second most shots on the team and not Irving.

It's been a weird down season for him since all of his numbers are down. Granted, it is to be expected that the volume numbers to be down, but not his efficiency.

Love is skilled, but he's not what I would call a go to scorer. This is why in fourth quarter he struggles. He can hit threes. Obviously struggling from previous seasons and he has been open so that will probably adjust back up. But he's not a person who you give the ball too and expect lots of points on a given day. His post game is solid, but not unstoppable. He's not fast so very few transition points scored.

Lebron and Kyrie can get off 25 shots a night and not even think about it. They are that talented. Love is not.

[Lebron23]

I thought he's gonna have a good game without LeBron.

[christian1923]

Cut em some slack guys... the man already has enough problems on his plate... he lives in cleveland now :(

I used to support him saying that the reason he was bad in the 4th is because there no one on the Wolves who could command defensive attention, so the defenses were focused on him. He has been garbage this season. From a top 5-10 player to a top 30ish player.

[AirFederer]

Lebron ball means Love has to adjust. At this point the team doesn't utilize Love where he is at his best. Kyrie is taking too many shots.

Love has willingly accepted to give up in a sense to have great individual stats. As you would to get a ring.

You guys Are too obsessed with basic stats.

This team will have more success than now, but as they miss rim protection and intensity on D they are not in contention right now.

[navy]

His defense is garbage. Might be the worst in the league for a player of his caliber.

[keep-itreal]

poor man's Chris Bosh

[pastis]

kevin love isnt garbage, he just isnt that good the media and fans wanted to make him.

he never ever sniffed playoff air in his whole tenure with the wolves, never was the impact player, just a player like kevin martin, great stats, but just not impactful.


he isnt in the category of griffin, davis, or LA, hell not even in the actual dirk category

[I<3NBA]

They should try to play him without both Lebron and Kyrie and see how he fares. If he blows up, then it means one of the two is holding him back.

If he still sucks, then maybe he's just suffering from some injury we don't know about.

They are forced to do it when Lebron or Kyrie sits. Love was still bad. They need to get a rim protector. Anyone will pretty much do. First thing first.

And Blatt needs to change his rotations. Im sure he's noticed that every time he goes to the bench the lead disappears and his team cant recover. Obvious they need another bench piece but he needs to stop with those clearly bad bench lineups.

[R.I.P.]

He was just hyped to epic proportions. There have been so many new players that have been compared and said to be better than Kobe, Duncan, Dirk or KG that are simply not in that league. Love is not even in the same league as Aldridge, Bosh, Randolph, Amare, Griffin, and those guys.

He plays absolutely no defense.

And above all he

[SpanishACB]

and only a while ago people were saying Love's post game was elite

[GimmeThat]

you know what happens to the play, when Kevin Love tries to go for a post play/drive, and Lebron replaces his position right where he was.

as for him playing alone leading a team.


I can only say he isn't necessarily a TO prone player
