After a tough first season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love was expected to have a better second season, having had a full year with his teammates under his belt. However, three months into the season and the problems of from 2014/15 have continued to hamper the talented power forward.
With point guard, Kyrie Irving sitting out for the beginning of the season, LeBron James called Love the “focal point” of the Cavalier offense, lavishing praise on the big man who he had been relatively tough on last season. To begin the season, Love responded well to being a more integral part of the Cavalier offense.
