Well now this is just getting sad. All year the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kevin Love have been trying to find an even keel. Trying to get find the consistent productivity that Kevin Love had in Minnesota. Chris Bosh warned him. He said that he’ll be the third wheel. We are now nearing the Playoffs and Kevin Love is now saying stuff that even he knows is not true. No matter how much he wants it to be. After their battle with Atlanta where they got broken down. Kevin Love said via Cleveland.com that he is not a stretch four. Apparently he’s a post player, that can shoot.
Love is launching 8.1 threes per contest in his last seven games. His highest rate of threes taken in Minnesota was 6.6 last year, and that was along with the inside touches he received. No matter what the statistics suggest, Love is not in agreement on the big-man long distance tag.
“I heard some people calling me that but I know I’m not a stretch-four,” Love told NEOMG. “I’m a post player who can shoot. Right now I’m just doing what I’m called to do. For good, bad or indifferent, I’m playing my role and doing what’s asked of me. Tonight, I stayed out on the perimeter.“
This is pure denial. He WAS a post player that can shoot. In Minnesota he was a post player. But now he is a stretch four. He clearly doesn’t want to admit it but it’s totally obvious that Cleveland has forced him to be a stretch four and he doesn’t want that.
He is bolting as soon as he has FA next to his name.
