[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1082572, member: 17987"] Love is such an interesting player to me to watch (and listen to the discourse on) because it's like... I think people have this impression that he's out there just giving the ball away like a charity every week. In reality, he is extremely protective of the ball...it's just that when he DOES give it away, it often seems like it's either in a very critical moment OR it's just a seemingly total bozo-moment braindead decision that defies all explanation. Those picks kind of (IMO) make it "feel" like a worse one or like he's giving it away more often. Of course the defense doesn't care the manner in which they get a pick and they don't get double points for it being an extra bad decision or whatever. Take away those one or two bozo moments here and there and he is as good as anyone in the game. I also see this common criticism that he is "getting away with" a lot of throws. Like he's got these tall, arching throws off the back foot that seem to hang for a while and just invite the defense to get under them. I think people see these throws and think "He *should* have way more picks than he does, he's getting lucky, it won't last". And I kind of get that...but as above - look at the picks he DOES throw. Usually it's not the back-foot floater that gets picked. The idea that "he's getting away with it" kind of makes sense on first watch, but the more I watch him play the more I'm coming to think that....in spite of it being a bit unorthodox I think Love actually has a very VERY good feel/touch for these sort of passes and while it looks dangerous it's often times not actually in harm's way at all. He's really great about putting these passes where only his guy can get to it, even if it feels like it takes 10 seconds to drop into the basket... [/QUOTE]
