CLEVELAND: Ten thoughts for 10 shots from Kevin Love in Sunday’s 100-93 win over the Charlotte Hornets…
1. Remember when some fans wanted the Cavs to take Derrick Williams and Brandon Knight in the 2011 draft? Not only would that have been disastrous on a number of levels, they still wouldn’t have even gotten the second-best point guard in that draft. Now in his sixth season, Kemba Walker is emerging as a star.
2. The Hornets are one of the surprise teams in the early season and a big reason is Walker. They were tied with the Cavs for the best record in the East not long ago, but it’s not a good sign that their three losses are to Cleveland, Toronto and Boston – so perhaps they still have work to do.
