Dirk just needs to get his @ss on the boards more often. That is where he has had a dropoff the last few years. I am hoping that is was because he played with perhaps the greatest rebounding PG ever. So Dirk just let Kidd grab the board and go.
Love (IMO) is like Shareef Abdur Rahim on steroids. Love rebounds better and scores slightly better. But it just doesn't translate to the wins. And his mentality is like a cross between Danny Fortson and Moses Malone. Malone would miss two or three gimme shots just to get a rebound and pad his stats, and Danny Fortson would bludgeon his own teammate to get a rebound. Love needs to understand that winning isn't all about your stats but your effect on the team. When he does that he would be good.
As for Griffin.... he better hope his never loses his athleticism because he is not very skilled on offense.
