So, with 2 days rest and home court, will the Cavs offense come to life?  They are ranked last or 2nd to last in every major offensive category in the playoffs so far.  They also haven't had anyone outside of Lebron score 20 points.  Pacers have been playing good D, but the Cavs have also been missing wide open shots.  If they hit their good looks, they would have blown the pacers out in their two wins, and probably would be up 3-1.  Can they stay this cold for this long?!? Also, Kevin Love needs to start acting like a max player.  Right now he is just the white version of TT.

It’s all about Love. We need him to score 20+ 

When he disappears, they don’t hVe a second player that can score that 20. 

I hope he shows up, but so far he’s been a complete fucking bum.

It has been a terrible matchup for Love.  He is getting manhandled. I will take anyone that can score 20 at this point.  It probably won't happen though.  Lue thought Clarkson was too hot last game, so he benched him to cool him off.

I’ll take 4 3’s from Korver with 17 pts from Love

I think that will be enough alongside LeBron’s 33/14/12

Sounds like Hill is still questionable. Sucks Cavs can't get their entire team healthy. I think a healthy Hill would make a big difference in this series. Lebron, Love and Hill should be the core 3 for the starting lineup.

Korver getting hot should help. Pacers will probably focus on him more than usual to start, which could allow Love to get better looks. I know Love has had some good ones, but not like the regular season. I think Cavs put up 110 tonight and win relatively comfortably (110-96 or something).

So, apparently today Lebron is allowed to get iggy'd and get no calls.

Korver makes first, then nothing. JR missing wide open shots. Still can’t get Love open looks. Goodness.

I don't understand how Love's performance can drop off that far.  He has gone from all star level player to a guy that TT should play over.

Awful, love shouldn't be playing as much as he is. Giving us nothing.

Because what we feared about him in Minnesota is 100% true: he's a good basketball player but puts up stats in irrelevant regular season games that doesn't lead to wins. He's been great the last two years in the regular season, but when it gets to playoff time, he's outclassed.

Love is an All-Star. LBJ is a superstar. This team could use at least one more superstar.

Seem to have not fallen asleep in the 3rd quarter yet. And Lebron's playing like he's possessed.

I think we can all agree this series he has played at G-league level.

My post was literally about being very good in the regular season but not much of a contributor in the playoffs, and you remind me he's a regular season all-star?

Not disagreeing. Hell, Kendrick Perkins might give them more than Love. j/k  I've thought previously that Love has been the scapegoat for the Cavs woes but he's brought it on himself this series.
