Kevin Love can't start...even if he's cleared. Let the guys who were hot see if they still have the hot hand. Then, if things aren't going well...you have Love come in off the bench and maybe he can provide a spark. But you have to let the guys who looked so good last night see if they still have it.

Van Gundy made a great point last night about Jefferson. He makes such quick decisions. When he catches it...he already knows what he's going to do. He keeps the offense flowing. Love suffocates the offense when he isn't hot because he is such a volume shooter.

The team defense is also much better without Love out there.

You bring him off the bench until it doesn't work. You don't play him and Kyrie at the same time until you are down 20 and shooting is needed more than defense.

Stephen Broussard mentioned Love and his "mental fragility" if he doesn't start...not that I gaf, but just thought I'd throw it out there

I want the Cavs to win this series and would also like Love to hit a Ray Allen type shot deep in this series.

But overall I don't care who starts. I thought that was only a worry for moms of Jr high players.

lol at BSPN hottaeks being cited as an example to not play/start players. Just incredibly stupid logic.
