http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/48209/t-wolves-kevin-love Welcome to SportsNation! On Monday, we'll have Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love stopping by to chat about the NBA Finals. Injuries limited Love to a career-low 18 games this season, however he still averaged a double-double for the fourth straight season. His 12.2 rebounds per game average ranks second among active players, only behind Dwight Howard's 12.9 rpg. Love is teaming with Sprint during this NBA Finals to let fans know that they can, with an unlimited data plan, get the NBA Game Time app and follow the Finals in real time. Go to Sprint.com/NBA for more information. Send your questions now and join Love Monday at 1:45 p.m. ET! Buzzmaster (1:46 PM) We've got Kevin! Lindsey Young (Minneapolis, MN) How has the mindset and overall morale of the team changed or improved since having Flip Saunders back in Minnesota? Kevin Love (1:48 PM) I think we're still very focused. More than anything, Lindsey, as you probably know, we need to get healthy and stay healthy. If we can do that, we'll be more than OK. I think with Flip on, it only frees Coach Adelman more. It makes us better. pj (midlo) what makes Popovich such a good coach Kevin Love (1:49 PM) There are so many ways I could go with it, it's hard to pinpoint one thing. As far as X's and O's there are very few that have done it better than he has. He has role players like Leonard and Splitter and Green and those guys that he gets the best out of them, it seems. It's Pop out there directing those guys. Chris (Detroit) Kevin, since you're working with Sprint, does that mean you get unlimited data for life? Kevin Love (1:50 PM) I hope so! Maybe you should be my agent. Weyah (Philippines) Do you think we'll see another blowout win in the upcoming games or will it be close from hereon out? Kevin Love (1:50 PM) I hope, as a fan, it will be close from here on out. I think Game 3 will be a fight. Even though LeBron and Tim Duncan didn't have the greatest games in Game 2, but I think we'll see a very evenly matched Game 3. Bennett (Cantabria, Spain) Hi There Kevin. What kind of expectactions do you have for the next season? Kevin Love (1:51 PM) Expectations? If we get healthy and stay healthy and have a good summer with Flip on board, I think we'll be able to make sure other teams know who the Timberwolves are next year. Jeff (LA) how did you get hooked up with Sprint? Kevin Love (1:52 PM) I'm a Sprint ambassador, so I am happy to work with them on this latest project. Dave Fier (Boulder colorado) What is your shoe size and what type of cross training do you do during the summer months to stay in incredible shape??? Kevin Love (1:53 PM) I do basketball, so besides that, I do a lot of strength and conditioning. I do a lot of yoga during the offseason. Then the thing I do is eat well and take care of my body. I'm not reinventing the wheel. I have the workouts I do and I have great trainers. I stick with that. Erenz (Philippines) Hey im a big twolves fan! How excited are you to play with ricky rubio again this incoming season? What can we expect from you guys? Kevin Love (1:54 PM) Very excited. We haven't seen that much time on the floor together through the first couple of seasons. We had the lockout and then Ricky got hurt. Then this season I got hurt. For us to get on the floor together will be great to see what we can do. Mugsy (Mpls) That Lebron block. Am I right? Kevin Love (1:55 PM) In comparing it to the Game 1 shot from Parker, it doesn't hold the same weight. But the play itself, it was right up there. One was at the end of the shot clock, so they had to review it a number of times. It was a very special block that led to opening up the rest of the game for the Heat. Eric Jones (New York) Second favorite sport? Kevin Love (1:56 PM) Baseball. I grew up a big baseball fan, the Mariners. I was a pitcher and first base. I don't know how good I'd be now with the strike zone being so big, so I'd have to resort to pitching. Jared (AZ) Kevin, will we be seeing you and Kyrie in anymore Dr. Drew commercials together? Those were awesome! Kevin Love (1:56 PM) You'll just have to wait and see! Dominik Bednarksi (Vancouver, Canada) How is it playing with so many international players like Ricky Rubio and Shved Kevin Love (1:58 PM) There are guys who have played against each other in FIBA in Europe. It cultures me. I remember being at a dinner with a number of the guys and I looked around and I said, wow, I think I'm the only English speaker here. We have some talented guys from around the world and gives the fans a lot to root for. Jason (L.A.) What was your favorite memory from College? greatest moment? Kevin Love (1:58 PM) It had to be, even though we lost, the run to the Final Four and getting there. It was our third straight year being there. Deven (New York, NY) What are your thoughts about the first two games of these Finals? Kevin Love (2:00 PM) I said the other day that it was heart versus head. My heart told me to pick San Antonio. But my head tells me to not pick against LeBron. So I say the Heat in 6. It's been a good first two games. Things should get interesting now that we're going to San Antonio. Kevin Love (2:00 PM) I appreciate the questions. Much love to the fans as always. --
