Yikes, the Cavs beat a good Wizards team by 38 in Washington! The Big 2 was awesome, but Love only put up 8 and 6. Mozgov has really helped them...only 8 and 4, but a plus 42 last night! Got to admit they are looking more like a championship team lately. It will be interesting to see If Love's ego can handle the reduced role he is being forced to accept. Probably yes, because winning makes everything easier. Still, watching All-Star weekend on TV had to sting a little.

With James and Irving out against the Pacers, Love has a chance to step up and show that he truly is a top 10 player in the league. I look for him to have a good game tonight and show the kind of leadership he is known for.

judging by the quality of ur overall posts I woulda thought u were above trolling. The Cavs lose their two best scorers and lose?? Whoa that's unheard of.

The Wolves were at full strength and lost to a team without Rose and Taj . And U make the argument that Ricky is more valuable to his team then LeBron is??? Hmm

When it comes to Kevin Love, pork. I fully admit that I am a hopeless troll. He just makes it so easy. His 6-19 last night (1-7 on threes), with #'s 1 and 2 of the Big 3 out, was as predictable as the sun rising this morning.

Shabazz, AB and KG (not to mention Pek hurting so much he couldn't participate in the pre-game warmup) take issue with your comment that the Wolves were at full strength last night...Robbie might be wondering about it too. And no, I am not comparing Robbie to Rose. I'm just saying you and I have different definitions of "full strength".

Does anyone think Love will be offered a max in Cleveland? His limitations have been exposed. Does he end up in LA with his buddy Westbrook? All our trials and tribulations, OKC could lose Durrant next year and Westbrook the year after. They shoulda kept Harden. Oops

Agreed! I'm not bitter about Love forcing his way out, I was souring on his sourpuss attitude long before. It's always easier to subdue those feelings when that sourpuss in Love's case, or punk in KG's case is playing well for your team. It's very telling that he's reportedly having trouble fitting in with his teammates once again, off the court, he's just not a very likable person.

It's easy to fall in love with his offensive game but I believe there is a better than even chance Love ends up being remembered as a great player on bad teams while being pretty average on good teams. Love was relatively humble that first year with Beasley but those years of putting up great numbers while not making his teammates any better seriously inflated his self worth.

I wouldn't blame LA for trying to build around Westbrook and Love but I wouldn't do it at anywhere near max for Love.

Crazy talk. Love's the same animal that can drop 25/15/5 on any given night. Cleveland just hasn't used him the way they should be. He's in that Chris Bosh role where Love's a spot-up shooter/ball-swinger and not much more. How often do you see Love facilitate from the high post anymore? Rarely, if ever. Still a no doubt about it, max player.

I think Love bolts from Cleveland. LA is a perfect fit for him.
