If Cleveland can get LBJ and Irving some rest, and not let Golden State take control, this game will be close, at a minimum, throughout. Those were huge buckets to start the quarter by Jefferson and Irving. Just adds time that Lebron can rest up.
And if I'm Lue, I'm seriously considering not playing Love again, except maybe garbage time. Jefferson does so, so much more for them on both ends of the floor. I've asked it before, but what does Love do well as a 7 footer? Aside from shooting 3's and catching uncontested rebounds, does he do anything well? I feel like you could get a league minimum guy that could do those things and nothing else.
