They SHOULD get more shots. And Love parking out beyond the arc opens up more space for them to slash and drive.

I really hope Love decides to stay. The last thing we need is for the Lakers to take a talent like him out of the East and remake themselves into a playoff team again this offseason. Lord knows the West is hard enough as it is.


They took an MVP candidate and turned him into a glorified floor spacer. That's hard for me not to see it as a complete waste of his talent.

What did you expect them to do - put LeBon and Irving in the back of the bus and expect Love to drive the thing? Something has to give with three alpha-dog scorers. I'd say it's worked out pretty well for them considering the fact they have the 3rd best offense in the NBA.

Even before Cleveland, Love's game was moving more and more to the outside. Go look at his shot distribution by distance over the past few years. In fact, he's taking less 3's per game with Cleveland than he did with Minnesota.

Yeah, I'd run more stuff through him because he's a great facilitator out of the high post, but that's a nit pick on my part.
