Kevin Love is going through what Chris Bosh had to experience with LeBron and Wade in South Beach. In Minnesota, Love was clearly the main option, but now he’s looking like the third guy in Cleveland.
The adjustment hasn’t been easy.
“It’s come to a point where I’m just trying to find myself in this offense,” Love said after scoring a season-low 10 points against the Spurs and attempting just one shot in the fourth quarter. “It’s almost related to when you come into the league; usually the guys that dominate the ball so much tend to learn a lot quicker than a guy like myself, a big man. So I’m just trying to find different spots in the offense.
Love would appreciate more touches inside.
“I’ll just say we’re 10 games in, we’re looking at different stuff. I need to find myself. I think everybody knew coming in that we’d have to sacrifice, but at some point we’re going to need some low-post scoring and some outside shooting.”
People tend to forget the 2010 Miami Heat started off 9-8. This Cavs squad is too talented to not figure things out.
