Agreed, it looked pretty unusual to see Kevin Love on the bench down the stretch of the 4th quarter tonight.

and to think.. they broke the bank to get him literally. in terms of assets and capspace. OUCH! wasn't a fan of the move.. but you have to please the king.

Well, they took a 24 point, 12 rebound, 5 assist guy, and asked him to go stand in the corner and be a role player. What does anyone expect?

They (LeBron) also took a guy who never once made the playoffs to the NBA Finals and they also managed to make it without him the year before. Some guys are not as good as there numbers say and Kevin Love is a shining example.

So Richard Jefferson is better?
You basically have to go Iverson route and surround Love with 4 defenders/shooters. Actually Love is only Kyrie injury away from being in absolutely perfect setup for him: best NBA player, who is also an elite defender in POs, plus 3 defensive role players. Last time Love had only defensive roleplayers around him it was only good for a low lottery pick.

This makes me ask why? Is it the role Love is being asked to play in Cleveland? Is he not able to step up the physical side of his game to the level of Playoff basketball. Can Love go toe to toe with Draymond Green? IMO that is what needs to happen for Love to earn his salary. Love is a Big Man and I don't see a place in the NBA for a finesse only Big. Certainly not on the Kings.

Look, Love is a very talented player. No, he's not Lebron James, and no one is saying he is, but by your definition, Cousins sucks as well. Last time I checked, he hasn't made the playoffs either. My point is, Love has some excellent skills, and if your going to trade for him, and want to get your moneys worth, then you need to play him in a way that utilizes his strengths. The Cav's aren't doing that. If all they wanted was a stretch four, then they should have traded for Ryan Anderson.
