    Wow that and 1 by Bron was great. I still don't know why he has to lose 2 games by nearly 50 to wake up, but whatever.

    Wtf was Green saying to him after that? Lol.

    It's not like he played bad in the first two games though. He just finally has some help and it's elevating his play too.

    Idk about you guys but I don't remember another year in the playoffs where there's been so many blowouts. I mean we're in game 3 of the Finals and none of the games have been close.

    well obviously its cool to see the cavs win, because it makes the series a little more interesting. but this series has still been boring as h---. games 2 and 3 were both blowouts. who wants to see that? and although game 1 wasn't a blowout---the warriors still won by a comfortable margin.

    good win for the cavs, but they still need to get their bench going. the starters scored just about all of their points this game and you can't keep depending on that. you need relief from your bench if you expect to win the entire series.

    Big question now is if Love is cleared for Game 4, do they go with him or leave Jefferson in the starting lineup?

    kevin love is getting paid a lot of money to play for the cavs. he's getting paid that much because he's a difference maker, and certainly better than a mid 30's richard jefferson. now i understand he might not be the greatest defender, but unless he's not cleared to play, he should most definitely be in the starting lineup

    it's just a matter of fit at this point. Maybe go to small lineups earlier and let Love be the focal point of the 2nd unit.

    Don't fix what isn't broken, btfo Love.

    Nah give him minutes off the bench, make him hustle for his game time.

    I really think he could thrive with the bench. Hopefully he accepts it because at this point it's prolly best for him and the team. The match-up just isn't in his favor this series.

    He couldn't be with his team last year and now he's on the edge of not playing again. The next few days will define who he is as a player and how badly we wants to win.

    I think he takes it in stride. He was consistently losing in Minny, missed the Finals last year like you said, so I doubt there's any issues.
