Kevin Love

Is runner-up fatigue a thing? LeBron James sure thinks so. Championship fatigue is a more accepted phenomenon. It’s when reigning NBA champions struggle to find inspiration and drive and the motivation to play at full tilt every night following their title-toting campaign the year before. Health plays a part too, since extensive postseason pushes take [...]

Stephen Curry update: Stephen Curry is still really good. Really, really good. So good that he’s used the Golden State Warriors’ first eight games as his own personal plaything—a stage on which he has humiliated defenses, torched twine, made twenty-point quarters a regularity and, above all else, put the NBA’s early season MVP race in [...]

LeBron James and Kevin Love are cool with one another…now. You can’t really go a full day without hearing how cool with one another they are. Love is a more integral part of the Cleveland Cavaliers offenses. LeBron is older. Kyrie Irving is still on the sidelines. The Cavs are, unlike last year, off to [...]

LeBron James seems to be over whatever sort of ill feelings he had towards Kevin Love last season. His cryptic tweet from last season was both unnecessary and damning. But this season, LeBron is singing Kevin Love’s praises. Probably because he really missed him in the Finals. “We’ll use Kevin however he wants to be [...]

Something is different about the Cleveland Cavaliers’ offense. If you’ve watched their opening two games, the first a loss to the Chicago Bulls, the second a blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies, you’ve seen it. There’s more ball movement. More things are happening away from the action, be they screens, double screens or more consistent cuts. [...]

Breathe easily, and freely, Cleveland Cavaliers fans. LeBron James will be in uniform when his team opens up the 2015-16 regular season next Tuesday in a road tilt against the Chicago Bulls. If you didn’t know his status was maybe, quite possibly in doubt, well, where the hell have you been? According to the Akron [...]

Let’s cut right to the chase, with the help of Northeast Ohio Media Group’s Chris Haynes: Pacers coach Frank Vogel says he believes Paul George will have the best season of his career. — Chris [...]

LeBron James doesn’t give two flying brown-colored bowel movements that NBA training camps aren’t quite ready to open. His Cleveland Cavaliers are getting work in now. Or soon. According to Northeast Ohio Media Group’s Chris Haynes, LeBron isn’t quite over Cleveland’s loss to the Golden State Warriors in last June’s NBA Finals and has “summoned” [...]

Long before the Minnesota Timberwolves actually traded Kevin Love, the prevailing belief around the NBA was that they were going to move him. It wasn’t a hunch. It wasn’t an inkling. It was a fact. And then they actually moved Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers, after a brief dalliance with the Golden State Warriors. But [...]

Daryl Morey’s Houston Rockets are at it again. Whiffing on Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony hasn’t quelled their appetite for superstars. And, frankly, why would it? They traded for James Harden and signed Dwight Howard in consecutive summers. Two out of three isn’t bad. Three out of four is better, though. According to ESPN.com’s Marc [...]
