"It’s not that I have anything against Kevin Love – I think he has a lot of potential, I like the way he plays, his focus on rebounding and ability to throw the outlet pass. But I also remember how +/- indicated early in Kevin Durant’s career that his team struggled with him on the court, at both ends of the court, despite his seeming offensive brilliance. Just as Durant’s scoring ability overshadowed some faults in his game (defense, offensive continuity – both of which are streets ahead now), Love’s prolific rebounding seems to be preventing people from noticing that maybe his coach is not just being a curmudgeon, that is a valid and reasonable explanation for it. I didn’t have to look far in my numbers to see it."
