Game Thread: Cavs @ Nets

Too bad Love can't play like this against good teams.

After 1 quarter he has 7 points 8 rebounds, 2 steals.

Irving :applause:

I like the response so far. Much better ball movement and much more involvement for KLove.

It's a work in progress, but this is the direction we need to continue to head.

[Lebron23]

This team needs to win against elite teams.

If love is cutting he needs someone to feed him the ball. I hate it when I cut and im open and I don't get the ball:banghead: :banghead:

[RedBlackAttack]

Maybe the beatdown GSW gave us will be a good thing in the long run. You can't get by just on talent alone. You need to become a complete team whose parts are all in perfect sync if you want to compete with the Warriors/Spurs. Just being individually great/good players isn't going to do it.

The way the ball is moving and the team defense so far tonight is much better. I don't care who you're playing. In fact, you have to be able to do it in these games before you can do it against the best teams.

I'd rather understand the scale of the mission as opposed to being content with an elite record while trying the same old tricks.

[RedBlackAttack]

Love looks great.

[Lebron23]

This Cavaliers team needs to play with passion every game.

[Meticode]

Love looks aggressive, but how long will this last? The last year it seems he'll have an answer for a bad game with a good game, then go and play multiple bad games in a row, or he won't get touches multiple games in a row.

I'm not looking too much into this game. The Cavs have been beating bad teams mostly all season. It's the elite teams they've struggled against.

Crazily enough, this is Love's only good game of the month so far.

[IGOTGAME]

At the game...love looks really small in person

He is rebounding well though

They are playing the Nets. But we have some old sayings that when you are angry you are motivated.

Crazily enough, this is Love's only good game of the month so far.
The game isn't over yet. He still has 2 quarters to settle and shoot his way out of a solid game. The whole month of January he's not had one game shooting over 46%. A lot of the games he's sub-40%.

I'm not all about trading him or moving him, but the Cavs need to to figure out how to get Love and Irving and LeBron working together. Once Irving came back Love's importance in the offense changed immediately.

Love 18 boards thru 3?

[Lebron23]

I hope Love is finally getting his $hit together.

[Lebronxrings]

love is taking lebrons boards... looool

[Lebron23]

Love 18 boards thru 3?


Anger, + the trade rumors = a good motivating factor.

Love 18 boards thru 3?
Empty rebounds.

Kyrie and Love have to be good defensively for the Cavs to win. Worst in the league at their positions.

[IGOTGAME]

20/20 Kevin Love game are not impactful. Seen better games that ended up 12/10
