KEVIN Love out for NBA Finals Game 3, Cavs are done

[coined]

Wow

[bluechox2]

shit backfired on the dubs...love was the weak link...when they replace him with a competent big..the game changes

[bigkingsfan]

Cavs would have won at full strength.

[NBAGOAT]

I put Lebron at the 4 and start richard jefferson. Jefferson's been pretty much the only Cav who's played well this series. Maybe he can keep it going even with big minutes.

[SpaceJam]

Watch Cavs actually make GSW work for it now.

[34-24 Footwork]

He was gonna be the scape goat anyway.

At least dude went down battling for a contested rebound. He and Tristan are the only people on that team who battle like that for boards

[MP.Trey]

This should be a big improvement according to Lebald fanboys
I thought that was the haters argument, that LeBron makes his stars worse and they were a better team last year without Love and Irving?

[HylianNightmare]

Cavs by 12

[Goldrush25]

What a soft piece of crap. Fake ass "star."

[SpecialQue]

Guaranteed Cavs win tonight. Might even put money on it.

[LakersForlife]

lol.. klove is the hole on the defense.. dubs are fakkked actually moskov will get minutes.. size is one of the dubs problems and rebounding.. this is a blessing for cleveland

[elementally morale]

He played as expected. I didn't expect much and he didn't do much. At least tried to defend.

[Ca$H]

What a soft piece of crap. Fake ass "star."

The Doctors won't clear him if he still has symptoms. If it was up to him he would obviously play.

[DukeDelonte13]

doesn't even matter.

doesn't even matter if Curry, Klay, and Braymond all tore their ACL's within the first 5 minutes of game 3.

No professional sports franchise based out of Cleveland will ever win a title.

We are cursed.

[bdreason]

I wish he was playing. Cavs will be better without him.

[ShawkFactory]

That was a blatant over-the-back on Barnes (I think?).

:lol

[D-Wait]

yes... no more constantly bricking layups... at least Mozgov and Frye can somewhat finish around the basket

[DukeDelonte13]

:lol


its true bro.

Those Browns AFC championship games.

Michael Jordan f*cking the cavs in the ass in the earl 90's.

the 95 and 97 indians.

the 2007 indians.

the Cavs squeeking into the finals against the prime spurs.

the 2009 Orlando all steroid GOAT 3pt shooting performance

Cavs getting Lebron back ONLY at a time when a historically great team is in the mix.



My further prediction is that seeing how the indians are in first place in their division they will surely find a way to choke in a deep playoff run.

[Dragonyeuw]

Delly, Irving, Shumpert, Lebron, Thompson is probably their best lineup against GSW anyways....

[UK2K]

Shit I put him at the 5.

No love for my man Stipe that won the UFC for Cleveland? I grew up with that nikka.

[D-Wait]

And at a time when Lebron forgets how to make a jump shot. How potent our offense would be if defenses couldn't back off him all the time.

[PP34Deuce]

Will be interesting to see. The switching defense has gotten better without Love there but offensively, theres more load on Kyrie and Lebron.

Defensively, Richard Jefferson at the 3 can defend Iggy,Barnes, and co. He can switch on Thompson and hold decent time defending him.

Lebron at the 4 means post Lebron with transition. the 5 should be Mozgof only when Bogut is in the game. I don't know why he won't play Mozgof.

To the one poster, Mozgof is a shaky finisher but he can hit his free throws and will draw the foul.

[stalkerforlife]

Like another said, Love knows he's the scapegoat, anyway. They'll probably try to move him in the off season if Bran doesn't jump ship again.

I can't believe Love willingly put himself in this situation.

There's a lot of teams that would appreciate his skills and work ethic.

You can't honestly believe what you're writing.

It's clear the guy is an overrated stat padder

Trade his arse to Phoenix so he can put up 25/12 and win 30 games. Yeah he's a real "star."

You have no idea what you're talking about.

He won 40 games in a bloodbath west with a horrid roster and had some of the greatest advanced impact numbers in the game.

[bdreason]

Cavs were 1 point dogs yesterday. Now they're 1 point favorites.

Kevin Love is undersized and not as bulky strong as he was in Minny. He got skinnier and it affected his post play. He used to be a hoss his first 3 years in the league. Then he got image conscious and pretty boy.

His issue is if the front court is lengthy like an OKC or strong and stout, he will struggle. He's still a 19-11 guy though but first option, Nope. Amazing 3rd option, Good 2nd option.

Love's problem is he's not a guy you can build a championship team around and he's not a great 2nd/3rd option. Bosh was able to make it work because of his defense. Love has some valuable skills, but he's not a great fit for most teams.

[Duderonomy]

Cavs will play better without him. Mosgov bangs in the post which GS hate and Frye has range. Honestly this injury is a blessing in disguise for Lue. I can't believe Lue hasn't figured out which lineup to use effectively, he was sitting on the bench during last year's finals, right ? :facepalm

[r0drig0lac]

start Lebron/Jefferson or Jr/Shumpert/Tristan/Mozgov

[bluechox2]

start mozgod... play big, put bran on dray, start shump on klay

bring out 6th man JR's spirit off the bench with the green light

[STATUTORY]

Neither is lebron

[HALLandOATES]

People forget rj was a legit all start 20-22ppg for a period . Was a good role player to once he's changed roles.he can still go every now and then and these playoffs he's in a rhythm .

Start James at pf and rj at sf.

[Tmuston Beltics]

Remember to bet on GSW then, they are +100 today. Easy money!!

w/ bran that is.

Love could be playing in a totally different capacity with a superstar that can spread the floor for him and hit him in his spots. Just need a tyson chandler esque center next to him.

Wizards haven't had a 50 win season since the 70s so i can relate. But i did very much enjoy the Redskins 3 Super Bowls, not to rub it in or anything. :lol

[MJistheGOAT]

People here are underrating K.Love, it

[Hizack]

Damn, don't want to hear Cav's / LeBron's fans using that as excuse and claiming Warriors' title as another asterisk.

[Draz]

Might just be a blessing in disguise

[jayfan]

Doesn't matter. Cavs are a lock tonight.




.

[Lamar Odumbb]

why is love getting all the blame. Irving has been awful, JR Smith cant score, Tristan Thompson has morphed into Kwame Brown, and their bench cant shoot 3's because Golden State isnt leaving them open to double Lebron.

[Hoopz2332]
