Kevin Love Probably Didn't Mean to Take a Shot at Pau Gasol Here, But it Was Still Funny
By Jason McIntyre
Kevin Love, the droopy-eyed gold medal winner, talking to David Aldridge about defending Spain’s Pau Gasol in Sunday’s Olympic showdown. Team USA won, 107-100. The (likely unintentional) dig comes at the :41 mark.
"Just take away his strengths, there’s not many of them."
Sick burn. Gasol was pretty unstoppable against Love, Chandler and LeBron, tallying 24 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while his brother was saddled with foul trouble.
Love vs. Gasol will be a solid undercard matchup when the Lakers and Timberwolves play next season. Steve Nash on Rubio? Nikola Pekovic vs. Dwight Howard? Kobe against Brandon Roy?
Something tell me the Wolves will be good enough to meet the Lakers in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
