Saw this on the KFAN board when I was perusing just now, thought it was an interesting article.

The article is basically saying Rubio is the perfect fit for Kevin Love, while LeBron is the perfect non-fit for Love.

I gotta admit, it would be pretty funny taking Love back from the Cavs. I'm not a huge fan, but I can't help but think he'd be the perfect fit with Karlito.

That has to be bogus, I mean, Ricky is so injury prone there is no way he could have helped Love. Besides his shooting is so poor and makes such a negative impact that teams would only load up on Love and leave Ricky on an island. Did I do that right?

As Q mentioned in another thread Adelman should get some credit for Love's success too. Its not hard to say at this point in time Adelman is a superior offensive coach than anyone that the Cavs have employed. History may tell a different story later, bu that's the way I see it now.

Its interesting to see just how skilled Rubio is watching him compared to Lebron who is far from a slouch as a passer.

One other thing that hurts Love is that TT does alot of the garbage points stuff that Love really was/is likely still good at.

Anyone just see Love handle Curry on the perimeter on the defensive end?

Man that Kevin Love guy really sucks. He only made the second most important defensive play of the game on Curry.
