Kevin Love reacts to Kyrie's vision

Looks like he did a little fist pump at the end. He's just not used to playing with prolific scorers yet but he'll get used to it. If I'm not mistaken this was during that few minute span where Irving was on fire.

[Cocaine80s]

How did he teleport to the rim tho?

[RidonKs]

that's hilarious. to the first poster who replied, it doesn't matter what love's goddamn expectations were based on his experience in talent-less minnasota. irving made the wrong basketball play. he didn't pass it to his wide open superstar 3pt marksman. he knocked down a tough shot but that's inconsequential in the sense that, not just as a point guard who's ENTRUSTED with playmaking on a team, but just as any basketball player who's EXPECTED to just make the right play, kyrie failed.

but that quick crossover and hide behind the screen for the pull up = goddamn he can put it in the hoop

the higher percentage shot and CORRECT play was to give the ball up to kevin love.

Just terrible. Doesn't matter if he made the shot..because if the same play or situation came up 100 times..the cavs would be at a net LOSS with kyrie taking that shot as opposed to giving it up to Love.

The point guard needs to L2PLAY pg.

[HomieWeMajor]

Love should be happy. More rebounds for him to statpad .

[Magic 32]

Love this.

[Suguru101]

Saw that live and noticed Love's reaction. I was really put off. Kyrie is just not a pass first point guard.

Hopefully his vision improves. It wasn't that he didn't choose to pass... i think he literally had tunnel vision and didn't see Love wide open, which is a problem.

not necessarily in all cases. and certainly not necessarily in cleveland as lebron james' wingman. the team would be better if kyrie made good pg-like decisions ala chauncey billups or gary payton or isaiah thomas. but kyrie is such a spectacular shotmaker and he's running with one of the greatest playmakers in nba history. so no, the point guard doesn't need to L2PLAY pg.

even though he probably should. but so should blake griffin and dermarr derozen. everybody should have the trained instincts of a point guard... in a perfect world.

[stalkerforlife]

Kyrie made the shot, but giving Love the wide open look was a better precedent to set. When a player of Love's caliber is ignored due to selfishness, it can easily turn into a debacle.

Hit the open man, Kyrie...you're going to lose the team.

[Undisputed]

I like Kyrie, but damn...feed the talent dude. You're a point guard.

[stalkerforlife]

Rondo may be a better fit for Cleveland.

Kyrie is like a young git in jail that has a lot to prove, but isn't really all that hard or experienced enough to take down the vets.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

no one even REMOTELY close to Love

[VeeCee15]

The PG needs to L2PLAY pg because he has two 25+ ppg scorers on his team..and on that play, one of them was WIDE OPEN.

Not to mention kyrie isn't even a 25 PPG scorer.

It was a bad basketball decision by Kyrie dude needs to learn to pass first or be more aware. IF that was lebron with the ball, 100% would have saw Love and passed it to him. Love was wide open.

PS: kyrie Irving also has the worst defense of any PG i've seen in the L.

goddamn never thought of that but no question he would be. and waiters would fit in all the more... in fact he'd probably turn into a ray allen paul pierce slightly worse hybrid.
