Best rebounder in the league!

He is a great player on my fantasy team. He would be putting up crazy numbers if they knew what they are doing in Minesota and give him the minutes, but for some reason they like riding him on the bench. That is just amazing stats!
Baby Jesus!

I just read that it hasn't happened since 1982, when Moses did it. That kind of says it all.

Amazing rebounder.  That was 5 more than KG ever had for the Wolves, and KG led the league in rebounding a million years in a row.

Against the Knicks.  ;D

Apparently the last person before Moses did 30/30 was Parish versus the Knicks in ’79.

Love just put himself in some good company.

Please. He's out there with Darko, Beasley and Bassy in a game where the teams missed 114 shots, combined. And his "competition" on the other side included the likes of Gallinari, Chandler etc. I'm guessing that Love was the only one within ten feet of the basket on most plays.

Actually, kidding aside, this is impressive.

He was matched up with the $100 million dollar man Amare most of the night. Amare ought to forfeit some money after this debacle. K Love had 22 boards in the second half!

Guess Kahn made the right choice in keeping him instead of Al.

Yeah - he is so far. I love watching him play. Talk about flying under the radar...we rarely hear about him.

He averaged nearly twelve boards last year, too.

Wouldn't mind him ending up in Green in a few years... :)

I couldn't believe it when I saw his stats this morning! Amazing performance, what's even more impressive is that he got 12 offensive boards out of the 31 rebounds.

I know that the NBA makes its money being entertainment, but its a ridiculous shame that Amare Stoudamire gets an enormous contract and Kevin Love will not see anything close to that.

Quality teams are built around players who do the dirty work and make the most of possessions.  Phenomenal night for Love.  I'm happy for the T-wolves fans.. if you watch the game highlights @ nba.com you'll see that Love makes a 3-pointer at the end and the crowd went crazy.  Great guy to cheer for, and for kids to grow up emulating.

SGD - Agreed. I only watched the highlights of that game, but it makes you wonder if Amare even attempted to "Box Out".

He seems to have a decent amount of humility, too. I hope Minny can build a good team around him and Beasely.
