This is Kevin way of sending a message to Coach K to stop hating on him.

Coach K is playing favorites, and K prefers NIKE players, Love is signed to adidas?

Kevin Love went against the Wolves to play in the Olympics he was injured last season and should be in rehab for this summer to get ready for 2013 NBA, but he pressed for the games, to live up to UCLA and Bill Walton expectations.

Yall making too much out of nothing. Clearly any player who works hard enough to make the Olympic team will want to play. Any player who would be fine with riding a bench wouldnt be able to make the team.

The reason Love doesn't get more minutes is because is only really effective in a few facets of the game. In terms of his offensive game, he's actually pretty good when he's facing up his guy near the paint, has a few moves to create space and can take his guy off the dribble occasionally ( and I do mean occasionally, he's still too slow to take a good number of players off the dribble consistently ), and can drain the three point shot.

With that said, his midrange game is kinda weak despite being pretty skilled at getting off his shot, mediocre with his back to the basket, and he's pretty average at finishing at the rim. He still get's his numbers, but most of them come off of free throws and put backs ( because the only thing he's truly great at is rebounding ), not because he's some great offensive player. Kevin Love is probably the only "top" player in the league who doesn't draw a double team anywhere on the floor, and since he can't do that he really isn't making his teammates better since he isn't taking any attention away from them, he can space the floor for them but that's about it.

In a sense, yes, Kevin Loves numbers where inflated a bit, but only in the sense that they're not indicative of his value as a player; there is nobody else on his team who can score and he played the second most minutes a game in the league. As the Timberwolves get better we probably won't see the insane stats we were getting from Love anymore ( except for rebounding )

as for defense........ well, he sucks.Can't keep anybody in front of him and he isn't as strong as I figured he would be tbh, seeing players have an easier time backing him down than they do Melo ( even though Melo's a great post defender FOR A SMALL FORWARD, peeped it last year during his run at pf ) was kind of suprising tbh.
