Another Love Interview

[Klomp]

SI.com: Speaking of your development, what have you been working on this summer?

Love: Coach Rambis and I talked about trying to get more consistent from distance, especially on three-point shots. He wants me to be able to shoot 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from the three-point line and 85 percent from the free-throw line. That's a realistic goal after last year. And on the defensive end, he wants me to take a lot more charges and be a lot more team defense-oriented.

SI.com: Offense can improve with shooting drills; how do you improve defensively, especially in a team-oriented way?

Love: It's all a mindset. You also can play three-on-three, two-on-two, one-on-one -- those type of situations always make you better. And being with Team USA has really helped me on the defensive end as well.

SI.com: Your father, Stan Love, played in the NBA for five years, and while I'm sure he offered some advice, when did you realize that his tips couldn't everything you're experiencing?

Love: This year. We had Reggie Theus. We had Dave Wohl, Bill Laimbeer and Kurt as our coaches. Those guys come from the old school. And the things they yelled about and the things they harped on were kind of from the old-school game. But they'd have to come in the next day and the next couple weeks and tweak things to adjust to the new game. It's a lot more up-tempo [now], a lot more fast-paced, a lot more based on athleticism. I just try to find my niche in rebounding and playing the high post or the low post and be a unique player that can get it done.

Do you have any idea if Darko Milicic is playing?

Rose: Oh I don’t know… Hey, Love! Is Darko playing? (Kevin Love: I don’t think so… No, he’s not).

Curry: I don’t think he is. Is he?

Odom: I don’t really know… If I had to choose, I’d say he’s playing. Is he?

Boeheim: Darko? No, he’s not playing with Serbia.

I don't know why, but I found this discussion funny.

Patriotic circle jerk nonsense article by Raúl Barrigón for him and his Spanish buddies. Fine, Americans are retards and if it weren't for their athletic prowess, they'd be wiped off the face of the universe by Spanish intellectual dominance. You did it bro, you hacked the planet. Knowing all the names of the coaches and players means nothing, they can still watch tape on the team they're facing and know what plays they run and how to attack it. Maybe if Spain knew who Jim Boeheim was they wouldn't have pissed their pants at the sight of a 2-3 zone on the last play of the game, oops.

I've been out of the loop regarding everything basketball in the last month, why is Darko not playing?

IIRC our FO didn't give him permission to play for Serbia because they wanted him to get in top shape and trying to focus on the upcoming season.

I hope we have a plan. I don't know what it is at this point. We obviously made a lot of moves, but I'm out there playing and thinking between the lines, not making decisions. I'm just trying to hope for the best and that we keep getting better as a team.

Are people going to rip him a new one again?

[Basti]

it's good to see he's concerned about the future of the team but he should kept these thoughts in his head. sometimes it's just the best to shut your mouth.

Not positive, but I believe after his vacation/signing he came over to the states to work out in Minnesota with Rambis and the other guys. He appears to be concerned with being ready for the season, as it is apparently his top priority.

[C.lupus]

If he doesn't know the plan I suspect he could just ask his coach or GM.

I believe the answer was in this video, but too lazy to look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZLrl8dkXkk

How dare you!? Santa Claus is going to hear that you called Kevin Love into question and you're getting coal this year.

Sorry. One of my pet peeves is when someone stews about something for weeks or months and it finally comes out that they don't understand something. Then you ask them "well, did you ask someone?" "no." "well... I'm not a freakin mind reader you know and I'm pretty sure your boss isn't either or your spouse or whoever."


On a side note, I wonder if Santa Claus will be switching to the new clean coal technology.

[Calinks]

I have had years where I have been damn near Saint Like and Santa has never brought me anything. So years ago I came to the conclusion that he's either a hypocrite or a racist.
