Yup he's a combo guard in every sense of word, didn't mean it as a knock at all. He's arguably top 5 in the entire league.Laley23;1708409 wrote:Combo guard vs PG is my only explanation.
But they list him as PG so figured should include him.

I've watched the Cavs quite a bit this season and he's a negative def player. Advanced stats show that, as he's a negative (+/-) defender. He sucks on defensive and is hot and cold (maybe bc of injury) on offense. Dude wasn't even an All Star consideration in the shitty east for a reason.HighRoller74;1708382 wrote:Either you're not watching the Cavs this season, or just saying Love's defense is terrible out of habit.
But, Kevin Love's on ball defense since the pick up of Mozgov has been above average, if not higher. He's not a shot blocker, and he won't be flying in to contest from the helpside. But 1 on 1, man to man, defense he's been very good.

Yet has better numbers then most at his position who were all stars. I'll look it up when I have a minute at work.

Only gasol's 18 and 12 were better than loves 17 and 10. As a third option, I'll take that! His defense has also improved a ton since mozgov was brought in.

You're completely ignoring how much improvement he's made since the season goes on.Commander of Awesome;1708432 wrote:I've watched the Cavs quite a bit this season and he's a negative def player.

Great read, thanks for sharing. Love it, glad he's been getting better. I haven't been able to watch many Cavs games (smh at the EST) since around the all star break. Hope he keeps it up.lhslep134;1708450 wrote:You're completely ignoring how much improvement he's made since the season goes on.

No problem man. Just happy FearTheSword is gung-ho about sticking up for Love instead of constantly ripping him.Commander of Awesome;1708468 wrote:Great read, thanks for sharing.

Really excited for both NBA games tonight. Obv Cavs-GS, but Suns-Thunder has implications too: if Phoenix wins they're within 1.5 games of the 8th seed. I don't think Phoenix will make the playoffs, but I'll still enjoy the battle tonight.

Bledsoe on his way to a triple double tonight. 8, 7 and 5 at half.

The way Kanter is playing for OKC is making that deal look like a major steal. He and Ibaka are a pretty potent combo, and combine that with KD and RW at full strength and they can really do some damage.

Bledsoe 19, 9 and 8
Westbrook 20, 6 and 9
Through 3. Might see dual performances.

.....yeah that's what caught my eye.....39 points on 38 shots is inefficient but how do you get 11 assists? Lolgport_tennis;1708842 wrote:He still had double digit assists
And in the last 17 min he had 19 pts and 8 rb? He must've been all over the place.

With no Durant in the line-up, RW can do whatever the hell he wants.

19/7/7 for Westbrook
Decent 1st half
He's going to be the first player since Oscar to have a month of 30-10-8
