This is not a drill. Kevin Love really dropped 34 points and knocked down eight three-pointers in the first quarter against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. No matter what way you slice it, Love's performance was absolutely insane. Just look at his shot chart!

Ridiculous! Going into halftime, the only thing J.R. Smith wanted to discuss was Love's first quarter.

While this was all going on, the Internet was wondering if Love did something to the NBA 2K sliders to produce such a dominant quarter. 

Kevin love put up 34 in the first is equivalent to playing @NBA2K with the sliders low and your my player at least a 96...who guarded him 😂

You can't blame people for wondering, because Love went off tonight.
