Again I would have to say that leading a good awful team in rebounding and points isn’t that great. I just hope that Love realizes that and understands that all the hype surrounding him is just that, hype. OKC, Portland and Utah all have bigs that can abuse Love on a regular basis if he does not get better on defense. And as highly touted as he is on offense I don’t think teams actually go into T wolves games trying to double team and shut down Love.

More than anything this says that management is not high on Love and realizes that he is a complementary piece to a great team, nothing more. You don’t let complementary pieces develop bad habits on bad teams if you want to be a good team. After watching the Sixers fall in love (no pun intended) with their draft picks over the years, vastly over paying them (Andre Iguodola) and overestimating their potential (Jrue Holiday top 5 point guard???!?!?!?!?!) it is refreshing to see an organization that sees its talent realistically (even if they signed Darko to a long term contract).

it cracks me up when I read about coaches who have players like love who play a system that does not cater to what a player does best.in case he does not know somebody needs to tell rambis he is not coaching the lakers and does not have the players to try and run that system there. if your best players strength is scoring why would not run a system that plays to that. it’s like that idiot who coaches the pacers who refuses to change his system that does not work with one that players to his players strengths.yes they need to work on defense but to try and make their game fit the coaches sytle might be a reason the timberwoves and pacers always suck.

The guy isn’t doing what his coach wants. His coach is hard on him because he knows he can do better. Now we have a bunch of clowns questioning it, like it is some sort of travesty.

How should Rambis handle this? Should he left his “star” play anyway he wants or should he use the tools he has to shape Love in the player he knows he can be?

The only problem I see are guys writing the article, trying to blow up nothing into something.

Maybe Helin has Love on all 57 of his fantasy teams and is pissed off at the lack of production.

That quote from the scout is hilarious and I agree. The T’wolves are mess for not upping Love’s minutes, especially when he is the perfect candidate for the triangle offense.

We get it Kurt. You are a UCLA fan and a Kevin Love fan. As the season progresses and the rotation sets I bet he will be hitting 30-35 minutes per game. Just chill out on these stories for a bit.
