    I love Kevin Love, but is anybody else scared by his health? He'll finish this season having only played 18 games.

    Same here . Health , low % , weak defense . I always remembering Chris Weber interview with him , when Weber was persuading Love that he is the leader of his team. I honestly believe that stats is not everything , but i am not sure he have this leadership, mental skills to get it done.

    Love can get his inside or out which would be good for the playoffs.

    I really like Love, but I think DMo has potential to be special, so I would pass on him now.

    To be honest I've cooled off from liking Kevin Love on the Rockets. The team seems to have no problem with offense; and in fact it seems like the offense stagnants when their defense isn't on point.

    Honestly, I'd rather Rockets sign Josh Smith for cheap (and he'd released a statement that he never actually requested max), and stop him from taking stupid jumpers (or only give him open jumpers), than Kevin Love.

    lolz...wut...Kevin Love has been extremely durable and was off a career year(26ppg and 15.5 rpg) last season. This season was his first ever significant injury in his career..and that being that he fractured his shooting hand, and reinjured it by coming back to soon...Kevin Love is a bonafide star and Houston would flourish with him here...

    Lol he is 24 years old and we are blaming him for being on the TWOLVES.

    And I didn't know breaking your hand makes you injury prone? Wtf?

    14 rebounds per game while shooting 40% from 3.. pretty legit

    Low %? Health?

    Wow.. just wow.. his field goal percentage was low because he was playing on a broken hand.. and he has no injuries before this.. I don't know how a broken hand translates to being injury prone.. it's not a chronic problem like a knee or an ankle. :rolleyes:

    People please use logic!

    When has Love ever been injured?? Before this year with a broken hand? :confused:

    Anyone can break a hand.. LeBron, Dwight.. it's not a problem like Greg Oden's knees..

    Yah drafting marbury the next year...basically landing 2 studs in the draft 2 years in a row...could definitely help your case from going from lotto team to playoff team. lol Not to mention upgrading your coach to flip saunders the previous year....

    Just think its funny the guy is making it out like the wolves were exactly same team...and added garnet and bam playoff team.
    His first year they were just as bad...they then made trades to cut fat...moved aging players....

    they also added a top 3p shooter in james robinson, and other moves that made them a better team. They had just accquired Tom Gugliotta the year before garnett and he became their 2nd best player. Both he and garnett were named all stars.

    So changed coach the year before (huge improvement)
    lost several older bad players
    traded to add an all star in gugliotta
    Drafted Garnett
    Then Drafted marbury
    then added several key starters a 6th man and starting center.

    It was a completely different team.

    Its like saying...well yep... all the rockets did was add Harden and went from lotto team to playoff team :rolleyes:

    Then that season were swept in the first round....by The rockets :grin:
