Mr. Love Watch
All Minnesota's Kevin Love may do after being snubbed by assistant coaches in voting for the rookie-sophomore game at All-Star weekend is finish in the top 10 in the league, not just among those at the kids' table, in rebounding and barely miss averaging a double-double. And that doesn't begin to factor in the immeasurable asset of an advanced court IQ. Love has had too many shots blocked, a predictable issue for a power forward lacking the athleticism to burst off the floor, but he's at nine rebounds a game in just 25.3 minutes, and only Orlando's Howard collects offensive boards at a higher rate. "He's one of the best rebounders I've seen come into our league in years," Timberwolves coach Kevin McHale said.
Kind of puts this year's rebounding troubles in perspective.
