Why did Love shoot seven 3's tonight?

[JT123]

:wtf: I was under the impression that Lebron was forcing him to take outside shots.

[I<3NBA]

even in Minny, he was always three-happy. difference was, he was making them at a decent clip.

now, his shot just went to shit. idk why.

JT... You order this McEther with a Thick shake?

I just don't understand. All season I've been told by the great basketball minds on this forum that Love is only struggling cause he's being forced out of his comfort zone to make things easier for Lebron. Tonight he had the opportunity to demand the ball in the post and put on a show, yet he decides to launch seven 3's(while making only 1 of them) and score 17 points on 19 shots. :facepalm

[keep-itreal]

He's an undersized power forward

[theaussieguy]

I honestly feel bad for Love and how irrelevant he has become

[SamuraiSWISH]

He really does put up hollow stats, and plays no defense. Chris Bosh was definitely, easily, land slide the better player ... without putting up the same gaudy numbers Love has the past few seasons. He led his team to more wins. Kyrie is entertaining, albeit selfish, and tends to overdribble ... can get buckets but he too doesn't have a great deal of impact on winning ball games. I can see why LeBron has legit MVP case. And we inherently know he's a better player than the two leading candidates.

[Lebron23]

He's a stretch 4.

[Fudge]

Best PF in the league.

Shareef was better to be honest.

[Lebronxrings]

hes terrible. Product of rubio.

[sirkeelma]

Because there are no 4's
<------ :pimp:

[DavisWarriorsFan]

Cause he's a chucker.

[D-Wait]

It's not like he's been more efficient with shots nearer to the rim...

[gts]

Context OP context...

yes he took 2 more 3's than his average but he also took 7 more shots overall than his average...

you actually didn't prove anything with this thread other than you're a knee jerk dipsh*t

That being said I don't buy into the Lebron's style of play forces Love to shoot more outside shots.. Even if it did one of his assets is his outside shot so it's not like it's that important as long as it works for the team as a whole

LeBron* ball.

[CarlosBoozer]

He used to be such a prolific scorer :wtf:

[J Shuttlesworth]

LeBron* ball.
LeBron wasn't playing tonight, idiot.

[CarlosBoozer]

Don't feed the troll

[Budadiiii]

Ok? When did he imply that LeBron played tonight?

Because when you make close shots and get to the line it's easier to work into a rythym. Also it's expected at this point for defenses he's going too shoot a long ball so closing out is more utilized effectively.

8.2 to 4.9 ftas.. that's a crazy difference

Pretty sure the day Lebron isn't there, you will still suck d1ck the same way Lebron made you.

I honestly think Love has been hurt all year. Not that he was ever super athletic, but he seems to have lost some lift on his jumper and in general.

[Beastmode88]

Sounds like a product of lebron ball. Turning proven all stars into spot up shooters.

he didn't play last night POS.

[Optimus Prime]

Because that's what LeBron turns All Star big men into. Spot up 3 point shooters.

:kobe:
