    Nothing. I was incorporating mr response in one. Mainly because the posts were similar in message.

    We were speaking offensive efficiency or the lack of it.

    But I agree. This goes for the same for the other 11 guys.

    Missing shots is a way of sacrificing for team good?

    The thing with Love and actually giving a shit on Defense is more important to the franchise, imo. Too much effort is maid trying to recover when their opponents are making role players look like all stars by posting them up against Love

    Maybe. It all depends where his main focus is at on the offensive end. If his goal is to be a team player and to get his teammates involved. As i said its early. It's a new team. New environment. New role. He may not be as quick but he will adjust. To say he sucks would be erroneous. Just look at his skills as a whole. That answers your question

    Defense is a Prob but as Damian Lillard has shown us, it's correctable. Will he in this dynamic? Only time can tell

    But Dame wanted to improve. Love has never shown that

    He is taking less shots total but almost the same 3pt field goals. This puts his effective pg% at .466.

    Lebron's eff fg% is also down about .1 over last year. Is he any good?

    I've always thought he was the most overhyped "superstar" in the NBA. Nowhere near Aldridge's level.

    Saying this for years
    I always felt Love was a good but vastly overrated player. I got ripped on a certain other board for essentially saying people that wished they had Love instead of LA were out of their minds.

    But it's still early in the season. I am sure his numbers will improve. Whether they mean much of anything, we'll see when he starts playing meaningful games. I always felt he was a guy who put up big numbers but they were somehow inflated because he didn't elevate his team and he was a defensive liability.

    They'll be back if the cavs go on a run. At the moment I don't think they can do it. 11 games in and the Cavs are pretty much the team you see.
    If LBJ doesn't go off, they lose.
