Love NBA record 34 1st quarter points

[Moranis]

Pretty amazing there are still scoring records to be set and that Love is setting them.

Incredible. And suddenly I'm recalling what kind of an offensive threat he was in Minnesota. He could score down low and was a knock-down shooter at the same time. The prime of his career has not looked like everyone thought it would.

Good for him.

He is having a great season so far.  Averaging 20 and 11, though the percentages are a little down.

Only 28 years old.  His offensive game should age quite well.  Looks like the Cavs have finally figured out how to use him!

No he's not a star. He can't do this. He would never do anything with the Celtics.

anybody watched the game?

curious why loved finished the game with only 40 pts, portland played double on him or he didn't get the ball from teammates after the 1st quarter?

Only ended up with 40 on the night. That's some crazy shooting.  I truly believe him having a big game 7 in the Finals last year helped break him through Dunne mental barrier where he felt like it was ok fur him to step up his role fur them.  I think LeBron liking for assists thus year is probably helping too.

Finishing with 40 after scoring 34 in the first is really lame. If you set the record for most points in a first quarter, you've gotta crack at least 50 on the night.

He will never win an NBA championship. Not a winning player....
