    One two three punch?

    Lin pnr with Harden, Harden goes to basket, gets double team, dish out to Love for 3.

    When you talk about glue guys Kevin Love appears to be one of them. He doesn't demand the ball to be effective. He'll chase down loose balls and work hard every possession. Think of chuck wagon, but with natural offensive talent and proper PF size.

    Harden is one of the better defenders on the team. Now Lin.....

    David Lee is having a fantastic season, but no one will mistake him for a superstar player.

    Lee pretty much has a similiar game, except without the 3pt range. However, Love doesn't even put up a shooting % anywhere near 50% which is expected for big men.

    What does Love do exactly that makes him valued as a franchise player?

    Pretty sure it's the other way around.

    Perhaps he is some kind of half wolf, half rocket engineer.

    .45% FG and .360 3PT, again, is it bad for big men? With 12.1 rebounds and 17.4 points as averages in career. Is that not enough to be franchise player?

    WOAH WOAH WOAH Calm down cowboy. Are you saying that letting your guy blow by you, moving out of the way when an opponent is driving in, and constantly losing your guy are all attributes of good defending?

    45-46% is elite level for guards and wing players, but 50%+ is expected for bigs.

    Frontcourt D matters much more than perimeter D. That's why I would take Derrick Favors over Love any day of the week.

    For bigs without 3PT range, agree :)
