So far, really like how they're using Love. He's been a totally different player. BUT let's see how he plays tomorrow.

Love has looked good since Lue came on board. If they find a way to get him more involved in the offense and it helps the overall team AND it helps them in big games, I'll be fucking ecstatic. Yes, despite my negativity towards him lately. Tonight is a big game for him.

Didn't get to watch the game, but saw he was 5/7 from deep. So, my question is, how were they utilizing him to make him so much more effective? Or was it a case of he made his shots, and an 0/7 would be the same "he sucks" narrative?

Seems like they are moving him inside then sliding him outside,instead of just having him hang out around the three point line. He seems to be more comfortable in this role. He was getting very good looks last night.

Watch for yourself.

Kind of an embarrassing game for Lebron lol missed that wide open dunk, got swatted on that three before half, and then the whole push thing with Morris.

Missed dunk live, I just smh. What that highlight didnt show was the made 3 pter we got after TT had the ball knocked out of bounds.

He got a ton of post touches, he also was taking the ball to the hole from the 3 point line. Giving the defense more to think about.

He also played terrible defense. End of first half he missed a rotation himself but sixers scored to end half and he started scolding TT. He also early in the game twice lost his man and they got open 3s. That actually seems to happen a lot.

He's been garbage until tonight in big games. Tell me more about how he's so good but can't even make the all-star team in the East LOL.

Accordingly to you, after last night, are we still not championship contenders?

It was great to finally see a full 48 minutes of good effort from the Cavs last night. Not sure if we were purposefully leaving effort out there or not under Blatt, but we look good under Lue so far in that department.
