Is Kevin Love for Real?

[mgent]

Does a Geico ad campaign get played out fairly quickly?

Hahaha, yes!

It's good to see another team's fans accurately describe one of our players for a change. We usually just hear about how much Darko and Beasley suck...

Beasley isn't a good SF, unless you just look at PPG average. Darko is a middling C who checks out if he doesn't get more shot attempts than is wise.

That more like it?

Ahhh, That's more like it...Poor take, but expected.

Kevin Love is definitely the Real Deal.

He proved it to me in that LA game, vs Gasol and Odom when he pulled in 24 rebs and had 23 pts earlier this year.

Don't forget the 31 and 31 game. The sad thing is that Minny isn't winning a lot. They are a lot more competitive with KL than without him, though.

Man can hit from anywhere, too. I like what he and Beasley are doing down there, even if their record isn't showing it.

But yeah - Kevin Love is certainly for real.

He's definitely a beast! too bad he's on the Twolves... too many good players but no direction.
If only they can get a true leader on that team, and maybe some good vets..

... I'm also wondering what Rubio's thinking right now? Does he plan to play with the wolves at all?

Beasley and Darko might be leaving a lot of boards by Love, but consider this:

* He is leading the league by almost 3 RPG despite playing on the perimeter enough to shoot three 3PT attempts per game. If he camps out down low as much as a Dwight Howard, he probably gets 1 or 2 more offensive rebounds per night.

* 43% from 3PT and 88% FT. Compare that to Ray Allen... I'm not saying he's as good of a shooter, but just digest for a second that you can actually compare the numbers.

Now he certainly has his flaws - few blocked shots, not great low post scorer, but his combination of rebounding and long-range shooting is not something I've EVER seen.

Poor take? well have fun with a SF playing poor defense, a usage of 28%, and scoring .93 points per shot he takes.

You and your crazy new math.  Timberwolves fan's dont care about usage%, they care about putting the puck in the basket.

Geez leave a poor TWolves fan alone and let him bask in his one very promising player while he still plays for his team

Of course he is for real. You have to be blind to not think so immediately, just from looking at his statistics.
