P.s. this is the 3rd post...:



KLOVE IS AWESOME:

klove plays for points and rebounds. he doesnt believe in defense. just watch him play. a guy drives, stops in front of him for a jump shot and he will NEVER put a hand up. he stops and turns waiting for a rebound. that KILLS us.

just look at our points against since he came back. (and record).

yes he plays hard and i think he has a role on this team, but man he kills our defense. even worse then dwill and thats just sad.

Yeah that is hard to watch when Kirilenko and CunningHAM are flying around contesting everything. Love can say what he wants about practice and defensive schemes, but never putting a hand up to contest a shot only has to do with effort. And we saw it last year too, so it's not like it is just an out of shape thing.

It really makes no sense at all. Love goes to battle in the paint and outworks most guys. Why is he completely lazy when it comes to contesting shots?!

Because it's much harder to get rebounds when you actually contest your defender's shot. And that would hurt his stats.................

Which is sad from the guy who was pushing Kahn for improvements and supposed to be about getting to the playoffs.

I'm sure he'll be playing better soon, but this is going to be a real test for him to see if he can up his game not to just improve individual skills, but play at a high level in a winning team environment.

Let's hope this is the next big step and we can get busy winning.

Love actualy made a really athletic (!) defensive play last game, early on... in the first half. I think one of the biggest problems is that he's out of game shape. And he missed AK schooling our team into defensive discipline first few games.

How the heck is he out of shape?!? Didn't he play in the Olympics over the summer?

And he just "broke" his wrist from punching the fridge because he was cheating with Denard Span's woman and his chick found out... doesn't mean he can't run to keep in shape.

What a putz.

WHOA...you held out on that info bruh...If it's true, bad look KLav. You gotta be about that moral high ground my dude.

Anyway, more importantly, I never saw this.

How did this go unnoticed? That is the best play I've ever seen in my life besides every play Malcolm Lee makes, every game. Oh man, that was the shit.

Ha, that's awesome lol. I never saw that play. And I don't recall a player bouncing a ball off a teammate before... opponent yes, but not their own guy!

Yeah K-LavWristGate12... it was on Twitter. I retweeted it a little while back. Apparently Luke Ridnour's cousin sent it out.

A little less Love in this thread for KLOVE recently (besides that insanly play - thx daddy), so I'll go on in my task to spread Love for Love:

P.s. Maybe I could reactivate my I-Like-DAVID_KAHN-thread again, too...

I appreciate your enthusiasm. Howl.

But it is increasingly difficult to like Love lately. 12 Society, the whining, the lack of D, the broken hand (however it happened, fail...if he isnt breaking it on Oleksey Pecherovs elbow then it is unacceptable...but I vouch for the rumor CW posted), 2 technicals in 2 games.....and usually I ride Love's dong more than most around here. Getting harder to like him. He has a bit of a hole to crawl out with the fans and that's just the way it is. In 2-3 weeks I suspect the tone will change again.

Good points all around. The thing that bothers me most is when he doesn't get back on defense. It has happened many times in his first three games. If you turn the ball over or miss a shot you run back on D rather than stopping to cry to the refs. We have given up a few baskets in each game because of this foolish, selfish habit of his.

I need to watch the coat drive and new kyrie irving video with Love in them later. I haven't seen either one of those. That will help I am sure. Speaking of commercials, did you guys see the new Ricky commercial?!

I never saw that Love play either during the game.

I was watching Nets- Blazers game. If I remember correctly Lillard inbounded off the butt of teammate Leonard, then picked it up and took it up court. I've seen the inbound off the opposition, but can't recall having to inbound off your teammate who is turned and heading up court.

YES! Here it is.

My guy I grew up with, Jamil Lott, is the guy who catches the oop from Rubio. Another dude I grew up with (but didn't get down with like that) is teh guy on the sidelines in the purple zubas during the wrestling match.

Oh man Ricky had my screaming in the wrestling part. I re-watched that 5 times.
