Cavs: Is Kevin Love the worst PnR defender in the league?

[spursistan]

[100%duncan]

Erase PnR and you are correct

[benefactor]

What in the was he doing?

[StrengthAndHonor]

Should've kept Wiggins

[LkrFan]

Should've kept Wiggins

Truth. Wiggins and Uncle Drew would be killing it. Oh well

[SAGirl]

Its not only Love, watch Kyrie too.

[TDMVPDPOY]

white guy plays no defense its proven

[DPG21920]

It's a massive problem. He's a terrible PNR defender.

[DAF86]

Irving, wiggings, lebron. What could have been

[Nathan89]

Lebron just might leave the Cavs. I know I wouldn't want to stay with Kevin Love for the rest of my career.

[DAF86]

Heck, since everybody is playing small nowadays. Add shumpert and thompson to those three. Irving, shumpert, wiggings, lebron and thompson. Pretty nice crunch time line-up, tbh.

[Dancelot]

Maybe they can trade him to the Timberwolves for Wiggins?

[Venti Quattro]

[LakerHater]

[LarryDavid]

The guy literally looks re ed playing defense.

[rasuo214]

Cavs could have had Irving, Wiggins and Lebron. Trade the Miami 1st round pick + some scrubs for Thaddeus Young like the TWolves did or use the pick in some other trade maybe for someone like a Ryan Anderson who would be a better fit than Love.

GM LeBron DEMANDED they trade Wiggins for Love.

Love's always been a trash defender and at best a #2-3 option on a legit contender.

I guess Lebron was hoping for the next Bosh, except Toronto Bosh was consistently a legit #1 option for 4+ seasons (consistently 22+ ppg on 57% TS) as well as a good defender with a good work ethic.

Love's always been a gifted but lazy player, who never really managed to produce great results consistently. He was a top10 offensive player in the league for a season and a half stretch and that's about it. In terms of results vs. talent he's a career underperformer because his work ethic and at ude sucks.

As we have seen, he's not even a starter on a LEGIT contender

[Down Under]

Irving is just about as bad. Clueless

He's David Lee status.

[313]

B-but this doesn't fit the narrative

If he played in the finals last year, in place of Tristian Thompson, surely the Cavs would've won

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

GS didn't even need much of a gameplan - attack Love and Kyrie on the PnR every damn possession and they're hopeless. Spurs did some of it as well, though they couldn't get LaMarcus going.

LMA was being guarded by Tristan not Love, it was Tim who couldn't score on Love (before West checked in & busted his ass).
