    That might be true if Love had actually been an asset for Cleveland. He was outplayed in game 2 by Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson!

    This probably increases the Cavaliers' chances. Now they just need an injury to Irving and they've got a chance.

    Please excuse all 4 of Lebron's NBA Finals losses since Kevin Love is out for game 3 this year. Wash them all away, all 4 of them, and now this one too.

    Lebron is now 2-0 in NBA Finals

    I'm sure it is at some places, but was going by what I saw on covers.

    Kiss today goodbye
    The sweetness and the sorrow
    Wish me luck, the same to you
    But I can't regret
    What I did for love, what I did for love

    Look, my eyes are dry
    The gift was ours to borrow
    It's as if we always knew
    And I won't forget what I did for love
    What I did for love

    Gone
    Love is never gone
    As we travel on
    Love's what we'll remember

    Kiss today goodbye
    And point me toward tomorrow
    We did what we had to do
    Won't forget, can't regret
    What I did for love

    What I did for love
    What I did for love
    What I did for love

    Cavs win game 3 without Love: See we didn't need him. Needed to play smaller. Trade Love in the offseason.

    Cavs lose game 3 without Love: Love is unreliable. Trade Love in the offseason.
