Love back

| | Comments (15) |

Here's a column on Kevin Lovethat I wrote for today's paper. Love is struggling to find his way as a rookie and is playing on a team that's 4-19 (including the loss to the Lakers).
It's been a pleasure covering UCLA for you guys the last week - and what a busy week it was. For all of you golf fans, I'll be out at Sherwood Country Club all week covering Tiger Woods' Chevron World Challenge. Check out the action at my golf blog, ``In the Rough.''
Brian Dohn is back today.

I was at the game. My dad and I concluded that the T'Wolves don't really look for Love or run any plays for him. He relies on put-backs for his scoring

I agree with the poster above. I was at the game too and my fiancé and I also notices how the timberwolves don't really try to get kevin the ball. I saw numerous times when they didn't give it to him on the pick and roll or pick and pop.

But then again the wolves seem horrible and it doesn't look like they try to get anyone the ball. They do a ton of isolation where one guy just tries to take it himself.

I wish Kevin the best and look forward to seeing RW when OKC comes to town in February.

Question from Karnak the Magnificient: What would Coach Howland like to have done to Kevin Love's father when he popped off while attending a UCLA game?

Thanks for the week, Jill. Hardly missed Dohn at all . . . "In the Rough" will be rained out this week if this weather stays the same!

You can tell by the # of attempts that Kluv is NOT part of their O.

Kev's BIGGEST obstacle is playing on that team because losing breeds selfishness amongst players who want to either pad their stats or solve the problem themselves. It is not a conducive atmosphere for Kluv's game to grow or contribute.

I wish he were on a GOOD team.

If he was on a good team then he wouldn't be getting enough minutes...

KL's biggest problem is that he is a rookie.

He's already had some solid games. He'll get more consistent every year...

Thanks Jill - you've been great!

i think kluv would get the minutes on a "good team". "good" to me is at least a middle of the pack team.

minn is one of the cr@ppiest teams in the nba.....of which there are MANY.
