 Now we see why Mr. Kevin Love couldn’t carry his sorry Minnesota team to the playoffs.  One of the more overrated players in the league, he is now being exposed.  Relegated to spot up shooting, can’t guard anyone, and highly inefficient.  He’s only shooting 40%.  He’s only a career 36% 3-pt shooter although people claimed he was an elite shooter, not the case.  He’s not hitting the boards like he did in Minnesota.  He isn’t the player most thought he was.  People tried claiming he was a top 10 player in the league, well that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

 Have you stopped to consider that no one on the Cavs is performing up to expectation? It has nothing to do with Kevin Love and everything to do with a team that is poorly constructed and a system that does not give the team an identity.

Can Love still opt out of his contract at the end of the year? Any chance he doesn’t resign in Clevland?

 There were whispers not too long ago about him wanting to head to LA after this season. 

Love went on to deny the comments, but it adds some fuel to the fire nonetheless.

Don’t blame Kevin Love, his backcourt doesn’t pass him the ball. Cleveland needs to get rid of Dion and Kyrie.

When Kyrie re-signed, LeBron signed, and Kevin Love was acquired, they were all saying the right things publicly in terms of their expectations and acknowledging that it wasn’t going to be easy, but I think LeBron is the only one who truly believed his words.

I really don’t think the rest of them understood what it would be like to have such a target on their back on a nightly basis and to get each opponent’s best game. They’re now learning that it isn’t going to be a cake walk.

But we are only 6.8 percent of the way into this season, so let’s not jump to all kinds of crazy, irrational conclusions.

 Tonight is the Cavaliers 13th game of the season and you say Kevin Love is being exposed and is overrated? If you have watched him play basketball at UCLA or with the Timberwolves, you’d realize how illogical your statement is so early into the season. He owes us an apology for having limitations, just like every player who has ever played the game.

How many games have you actually watched?

In the few Cavs games I’ve seen Dion Waiters almost NEVER passed Love the ball. With Lebron resting Kyrie would pass the ball to Dion the ball movement is very bad and they end up taking difficult shots, with Love trying to get just a touch!! His rebounding could be better but they really need to get him in his spots better too.

I loved Waiters last year but I’m a lil surprised he doesn’t pass the ball much when he is actually a good passer when he wants to.

 Or maybe he got negged for coming to a conclusion about Love less than a month after the season started. Many of the people who replied to him, disagreeing merely pointed out that the sample size was too small to come to any conclusion. If he had made the thread later in the season I doubt it would have gotten such negativity.

 It’s a bold statement, many casual lurkers on this forum and have accounts and just up vote and downvote posts because they have very little basketball knowledge to reply with a decently put argument or counter to what someone said. It’s annoying because I feel like we get a lot of kiss ass opinions here because people don’t wanna get negged lol but it’s whatever.
