    Is Michael Carter-Williams for real or just a hot start?

    He seems "for real", but I would like to see a few more games before I believe it. I will start paying attention now though.

    So last night I watched the Wolves beat the Thunder and Knicks......these guys are clicking on all cylinders right now! If Martin can drill 3s like he is, they are going to be tough to beat!

    I am going to say it, even though I really don't like it. Kevin Love is a fucking Beast! I was wrong about him… I used to think that he padded his rebounding, but most of his rebounds are contested. He is actually scoring a ton in the paint as well. If he didn't have such a big injury problem, he would be the best PF in the game right now.

    You get caught up on injuries with guys. You blame Nic for getting injured as if it's his choice. And injury problems or not, really hate to say it, but I think Love IS the best PF in the game.

    I blame Nic for not resting in the off-season and working on his conditioning; which has been to the point each of the last 3 years. Hopefully this season it won't be a problem like it has been.

    As for Love… If he plays an average of 287 games out of 5 years, that's only 57 games per year. I would much rather have a player that can last a full season, wouldn't you?

    Yeah but that's with spending like 70 games out one year, skewing the rest of his games played. He's not that injury prone. I think him and LMA are neck and neck, but Love's stats are uncanny. The guy fills it up.

    Last season, he played only 3 games. The season before 57. The season before, he still missed 15 games. Only his rookie year was when he played a full season.

    I love it. I hate the Cavs. How do they get 3 #1 picks in a decade?

    And he's the reason they didn't take Oladipo. Of course, at least he's playing. Unlike Bennett, the guy they took INSTEAD of Oladipo. Oh, I tell a lie - Bennett has played a total of 40 minutes in which time he has shot an amazing 0-12.

    I'm glad I'm not a Cavs fan.

    The Cavs have made some terrible choices lately. What a waste.
