I question the quality of a superstar who puts up those kinds of stats routinely and still loses routinely.

Love is a monster, tbh, his supporting cast is atrociously built..
I agree overall he's great, but I dont think he has the kind of arsenal in his game to take over late in the 4th. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see it.
Needs a defensive first center to complement him. Pekovic ain't that guy.
I agree, I don't think Love is a clear-cut cornerstone, but he's easily a top 10 player and would thrive on a team with a sidekick..
Minnesota is one of the most poorly built teams I've ever seen..
They have a frontcourt with 2 weak defensive players, yet they compliment them with 2 average defenders + 1 of the worst in the league(Martin)..their bench is one of the 3 worst benches in the NBA, too..
dude's unfortunate to be playing for a ty franchise imho. His game ain't perfect but you couldn't expect a 2nd banana more perfect than he would be for a le contender. Dude's just doing his utmost to impress scouts so some team will make a huge bid for him once he comes a FA. s play in this league for money and for glory, and good stats deliver them both.
he has a better supporting casts then the KG wolves
there should be no excuses man
Love is a decent player, his supporting cast sucks. His starting PG is having the worst shooting season in NBA history and his bench sucks. They can't seem to win close games when trailing, either. They're like 1-12 in close games this season.
the whole supporting cast excuse just doesn't make much sense to me. The wolves' supporting cast seems to me just as good as the guest team's imho, Rubio/Pekovic/Derrick-Wiiliams/Martin/JJB. They seem to have a good mixture of vets and young prospects but what? people are still seeking excuses for this white fat ?
He's choked a few times in late-game situations this year that I can remember, tbh....
This guy has "loser" written all over him and it isn't just his supporting cast.... he's literally been whining to the media about end-of-the-bench players and formulating excuses in advance for when he leaves.... can't imagine his teammates enjoy playing with that stat-padding bag, tbh....
Rubio is a black hole on offense when they need him to score a basket, Martin is just a streaky shooter, Barea is average, Pekovic is the only bright spot.
Guest team has 2 all-stars and a bunch of young studs that the Wolves do not have.
Blame Adelman for destroying Williams' trade value and ending up with Mbah a Moute. Rubio is not a plus player if he can't shoot. Martin is the Anti-Danny Green, which would be fine with a better supporting cast. I like Brewer, but he's not going to play well in that system. Adelman is just being exposed as a horrible coach.
I don't think Love can win as a team's best player unless his second banana was almost as good. There are a number of teams he'd make into le favorites, but he's not a player you can build around, I think.
Put Kevin Love on a team with something to play for and both side of the equation will thrive.
KL's team is a gimmick, a facade of a team with an over the top big ass monster center who really cannot do much, a hyped up Euro got PG who shouldn't even be in the NBA and a group of tired ass has been role players.
If Love was on a real team where he was the PF and played along side a true defensive center, Love would get fewer boards, but his points would mean something. Right now he's the 1st, 2nd and 3rd option and the rebounder for the team. The Wolves have always been pieces of , they should shed their names in honor of the real creatures who would never quit as easy. I've never had any respect for KG because he stayed in that ty system and just suckled at the corporate teat then cried about it behind his millions, nor for Love who's stat padded himself to a gold medal and too much consideration in the league. Eventually these clowns make their beds and they choose money over glory. I don't blame them for that, money is important, but when it comes time to separate the chaff from the wheat, don't ing cry to me when you're not chosen to move forward with the reaper.
People are acting like Love's on the 7-59 Bobcats or something, tbh.... if he was as good as he was hyped up to be, his team would at least be over .500, end of story....
He's not a good leader. Plain and simple.
Oh, so because he's not a top 5 player he's not great? Only guys like Lebron and KD can make ty teams relevant. How many games did Blake Griffin win before CP3 came to town, despite putting up 23 and 12 for an entire season? I would take 2011 Clippers supporting cast over current Wolves one.
Not every great player is a great leader.
You're kidding, right? The Clippers team from Griffin's rookie year was once you consider that Eric Gordon and Kaman missed significant time.... I'd rather have Pek, Rubio, and Martin instead of relying on Fatass Baron, DeAndre Jordan and Ryan Gomes.... not to mention, Adelman > VDN as a coach.... even after starting 1-13, Blake still led that team to 32 wins in his rookie season with a significantly less-developed game, which is still a higher win total than any of Love's teams have ever had
Love has been hyped up as the league's best PF because of his stats, but they are so unimpactful and blatantly padded.... 's a joke, tbh....
Pek is the only good player the Wolves have besides Love, Rubio is a good passer but a very inefficient scorer and terrible on D, Eric Gordon played 56 games in Griffin's rookie season and he put up all-star numbers, who does Love have to rely on to score buckets? It's why they're so bad in the clutch, Love is the only player who can create his own shot on a consistent basis. Kevin Martin can shoot but he's overrated, as we saw last season when OKC needed him to score after Alpha got injured, he wasn't that great as a 2nd option, was he?
Rubio is basically Kendall Marshall, but a bit better on D and a worse shooter. And he's the only "legit PG" the Wolves have. Kevin Martin is a streaky shooter, who had a hot start (when the Wolves had a decent record) and has been cooling down since.
People are overhyping the supporting cast that Love has, put him on the Clippers and he'd have the same success as Blake Griffin, put Griffin on the Wolves and they're the 2011 Clippers. Love is stuck on a horrible roster with mostly medicore players, it's not his fault that the FO can't put together a decent roster.
i dont like it when clowns come up excuses when earning a max contract
Pau for Love, will throw in an anonymous future murderer to make the #'s work. Deal?
