The Cavs have a true Big Three right now. Love has been the best PF in the Eastern Conference through the first 14 games. In fact, the Cavs arguably have the three best players at their respective positions in the conference in their starting lineup.

This thing is really starting to take shape. And, they're doing it with basically no bench and JR Smith still working to overcome his idiot agent's decision to have him sit out the entire offseason, training camp and preseason.

Smith is the only one on the team who is currently playing below his potential. Once his shot starts falling, look out.

To be fair. I've expected a little more from Dunleavy. Besides J.R. him and Jefferson have struggled with their shot this season. Dunleavy 30% from three and Jefferson 28% from three. Last season Jefferson shot 38% from behind the arc and Dunleavy 39%.

Yeah, I'm not putting too much stock into Dunleavy's early-season struggles. He's had a ton of wide open looks. Now, it could be that he has truly fallen off the cliff, but something tells me they will eventually begin to drop. If not, it isn't a huge hit. He was found money, anyways. The Cavs involved themselves in a trade that had nothing to do with them just to absorb Dunleavy for additional depth.

Keep in mind we played the last few games without Channing Frye, who has been unbelievable.

Jefferson isn't shooting well, but he pretty clearly still has something left in the tank. His defense has been stout and his basketball IQ will have him on the floor in important games all season long.

With JR, it is just a matter of time. Not so sure about Dunleavy.

On the bright side, Shump has a better three-point percentage right now than Steph Curry. lol

Lol @ pretending that Kevin Love is some scrub. He can basically score at will if given the green light...much like Kyrie.

About time. No reason why he should shoot below 40% from three with all the wide open looks he gets.

I'm really glad for Shump. People forget that he's still only 26 years old and he can be part of the future for the Cavs. Thompson is 25, Irving is 24, Love just turned 28 two months ago. Cavs have a lot of young good players still. Just around the time LeBron is hitting his mid-30s those players will be in their late 20s.

If we talk statistical numbers and fantasy basketball was real life. Kevin Love is the best power forward in the league. Numbers can lie?


Rebounds- Check
3pt Shot - check
Free throw percentage -check
small block party games -check
Scorer - check


This dudes good, criminally underrated for 2 "find your feet" seasons with Cleveland.

This is 100% accurate. Both those guys are offensive powerhouses that can fill it up on excellent efficency.
