No Love in Cleveland tonight. Someone's getting fucked, but it won't be with love

 

So now Cleveland's season rides on Richard Jefferson, the salary fodder thrown in so Ws could make trade to facilitate acquisition of Igoudala, who then bounced around; wow its amazing how things turn out; or its Channing Frye, the outcast in Orlando; either way, IMHO the odds are better now for the Ws to take the vital Gm. 3.

 

Personally I think the Cavs have a better chance without Love, though that is maybe an increase from 15 percent to 20.

The Warriors abuse Love's defense.

 

Is Channing Frye that much better though? Although I suppose they'll just go small, but as you suggest, I think that would only marginally improve their chances.

 

This is true. But it's not like Channing Frye's D is any better.

If they really want to shake things up, I think the Cavs best option now might be pulling Mozgov and Delly from the mothballs and going back to Blatt's scratch and claw ugly ball approach that got em a couple wins in last year's finals.

 

I am utterly fascinated by tonight's Cle -1 line in Vegas. After getting boatraced by a combined 48 for two games in Oakland.

 

Is that irony,satire or karma that the Cavs best chance to win a game is to revert to the Blatt's game plan? Does LeBron have the ability to swallow his ego and reinstall Blatt-ball?

 

They had some success with Mozgov last year. That ultimately fell apart because they had to gamble with him leaving Iguodala open, and Iguodala went nuts. Given what they're up against, though, it's as viable a strategy as anything else.

 

Cavs would win easy if they just let Sasha Kaun play.

 

Some have said that the Cavs are better off without Love; I'm just stating my opinion, however obvious it may be.

 

Warriors look awful thus far but are only down 8. Cavs held a 20 point lead in the first but have been outscored 30-18 since that time. Third quarter will be huge for both teams.

 

No way Cavs maintain the first quarter pace. And can't see Curry playing like this all night either.
