Kevin Love’s time in Cleveland has been called uncertain and unproductive on average. But after winning a ring, reaching a lean physical condition, and now achieving his Cavalier career best of 40 points (previously 34), Love has finally found a new, rightful place with a surreal view on this team. Last night, after breaking a number of NBA and Cavalier records, Love took his appreciation and inside jokes to Instagram.
While Tyronn Lue always prioritizes him early in the offensive game plan, Love is still locked in as a third option that has capped the once NBA-leading double-double specialist to a 21-point, 10-rebound average this season. Perhaps nights like this will solidify more primary and secondary opportunities for him in regular season games. Either way, Love has found his way in Cleveland.
