Can shoot 3s, but overall not that big of an impact...

[DaOldLion]

16/11 on 39% FG/29% 3PT for a big man, while being the main option on offense.

Attrocious. It's actually amazing how the Cavs are 5-1 so far.

how is he the main option on offense when Lebron attempts 20 FGA per game to Love's 15 FGA per game

it really says something about him, right? main option and can't even get enough shots off

[stalkerforlife]

Love is 4th in the NBA in rebounds. (Bran's bricks from 3 and the FT line)

And he's already got 12 today.

[Akrazotile]

He might be the worst big man in the league, i'm 100% serious

When you take D into account it's definitely a very real possibility.

Lebron's D obviously compensates for a lot of short comings that his teammates have, but individually Love's D does not impress at all.

Baffling thread.

Baffling thread.

What's baffling?

Love's numbers since he came to Cleveland have been pedestrian AT BEST. And they're worse this year depsite talk of him being involved more and being a main scoring option.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Kevin Love is better than any of Steph Curry's teammates.

Can you live with it?

Weren't they gonna trade Klay and Lee for Love?

35-3 in the last 38 games that LeBron-Kyrie-Love played together and verging on 6-1 so far this season with just LeBron-Love. Those are the numbers that matter. Also, if you look beyond the raw statistics at the advanced metrics, like the Cavs' offensive/defensive ratings with/without Love, there is a massive decline when he isn't on the floor.

You can just watch the game, too. And see his impact all over the floor.

You can really detect the people who understand the game and those who don't. This thread is a good example.

He needs to improve his shooting, and scoring. At least he's rebounding the ball.

Advanced metrics tell me Love has been mediocre too. Look at his PER, PIE, and EFF since coming to Cleveland.

He's a solid player who stretches the floor and allows LeBron more space to orchestrate, so yes the offense will function better with him on the court. But is he the star player some people were fooled into believing he was putting up those numbers in Minny? No, he's not.

He is one of the best all-around PFs in the NBA and the Cavs are a FAR better team when he's playing. That's all I care about.

We have a lot of boxscore watchers here.

Fudge reversed jinxed Love. He picked up his scoring in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

Those same boxscore watchers would have told you Love was a star in Minny. It goes both ways.
