Love just took a huge shit on his haters/Bran...

[stalkerforlife]

And they aren't mutually exclusive.

Bran and company will use Love as their scapegoat, but Love called his ass out and then dominated tonight.

17 and 18 tonight for Love. Wouldn't surprise me if he manned up and started taking more control of the team.

[LoneyROY7]

Love's only good game of January.

[JohnFreeman]

He should do this against good teams

[navy]

Cavs dont need scoring or rebounding. They need him to defend.

[Lebronxrings]

18 defensive boards

[outbreak]

Cavs dont need scoring or rebounding. They need him to defend.
blame management then because they traded for the wrong player

[stalkerforlife]

Cavs dont need scoring or rebounding. They need him to defend.

So you're saying they acquired him to defend? :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

18 defensive boards

That's insane

[Marv_Albert]

Now let's see him do it against good teams

Love has been playing like ass this entire month shut the fck up.
He deserves to get shit for playing like garbage.

[TommyGriffin]

Kevin Love is one of the best Power Forwards in the league. If anyone watched him in Minnesota he used to put up 26 points and 12 rebounds a game on amazing efficiency. He was a legit MVP candidate and would of won if he wasn't surrounded by bums.

Kevin Love is criminally underrated around InsideHoops.

No, just that his defense has to be better. Nobody cares what his numbers are.

How about we ask Lebron to become a catch and shoot three point guy and see how his numbers pan out?

[Mr. Jabbar]

What a huge di.ck alpha, i never doubted this stud

if lequit cant win one with this cast he will never crack that top 30

The OP should be slapped in his f*cking mouth for such a stupid thread

He performed well against a 11-32 team:facepalm

I watched all of the Cavaliers game this season. And in the past games even when they were winning. Love was struggling from the field, and shooting poorly. This was the game where he literally was more aggressive offensively, and taking smarter shots.

How did LeBron perform against the big boys? Why don't you hold LeBron to the same standards as Love? It starts with their leader..

[TripleA]

If Kevin Love gets applauded for a 17 18 performance against a lottery team that just tells me how bad he has been playing. I've watched Love since Highschool and he is my favorite player. I going to set him to a higher standard than this shit. You kobetards are ridiculous.

Look I'm a big Cleveland fan and it's really awful how you player only fans try to throw the rest of the team under the bus. Kevin Love is a great player and has been doing fantastic adjusting to his new role. Let's be objective in our criticism in our teams here.

[Nick Young]

Kevin Love is one of the best Power Forwards in the league. If anyone watched him in Minnesota he used to put up 26 points and 12 rebounds a game on amazing efficiency. He was a legit MVP candidate and would of won if he wasn't surrounded by bums.

Empty stats.

He was never a "legit MVP candidate"

[G-Funk]

Cavs dont need scoring or rebounding. They need him to defend.
Why doesn't Lebron defend and lead by example?

[bluechox2]

against the warriors...wow..o wait the nets

Great psychological tactic by Lebron. He is forcing KLove to break out from his beta nature. There is a plethora to learn from Lebron when it comes to sports psychology. Phil Jackson is the only guy in basketball that has been able to decipher even a modicum of Lebron's ways and been able to add it to his coaching.

GOAT gonna GOAT

[tmacattack33]

Kevin Love's lack of success is directly correlated with Irving coming back.

First thing i did after hearing that Love played well was look to see how much Irving played...and low and behold...he only played 21 minutes and took 7 shots.

This team needs to figure this out

[Mr. Jabbar]

STATEMENT game by Kevin, I love it. He is the heart and soul of that team, its a perfect symphony when he is in charge. :applause: :applause:

Reminds me of Bosh and Wade back in the day.

[Coach Eddie]

Team strategy to raise his trade value.

[TheBigVeto]

Kevin Love is criminally underrated around InsideHoops.

Because of his skin color.

[bobopenguin]

LOL, and if Love has 0pt 0rb and shuts down the opposing players, he will still be a scapegoat.

He took stat padding to another lever in Minnesota. Can't defend and has no basketball IQ :confusedshrug:

[oarabbus]

Love has been playing like shit but if you can't see the problem is Blatt and LeBron you may not understand basketball very well.

If Durant were to take a year off and Kevin Love played in OKC he would revert to the 19/11 guy he has been for his entire career besides playing next to LeBron and for Blatt. Maybe he puts up 18/10 since Westbrook likes to dominate the ball but this is terrible misutilization of Love.

We're talking about a guy who averaged 26/12.5/4.5, sure it was on a bad team, but those numbers are insanity. He's also averaged 20/15 for an entire season before.

[AintNoSunshine]

0 offensive rebound, following a 3 point game... Yeah he's straight garbage.

Kevin love struggles against GSW and the Spurs. It sucks because those are the 2 teams most likely to make it out of the West. Just bad matchups for him.

[sd3035]

2nd most talented player on the team after Kyrie :applause: :applause:

Teams/star players on the losing end of blowouts more often than not, get much better looks and chances at building their stats. They're playing against bench and role players once the 4th quarter starts.

Now I'm not saying that's the exact reason why KL achieved 26-12 but it had somewhat to do with it.

When you're on the winning side of a blowout, you sit out the 4th like Love did last night. Plus remember Blatt has sitting him in 4th quarters this season due to his defense
