This is why so many of us are saying that Frye NEEDS to play. The Cavs should really think about playing Frye whenver GSW or other teams have a traditional center in the game. Having a stretch 5 with LeBron at the 4 opens everything else up.

Frye has been dominate all post season and his defensive numbers are great there's no reason why he shouldn't have a big role until the warriros are able to expose him

If they win this series that could very well wind up being the most replayed highlight of his entire career. It's on the very short list. It's like the Hakeem move on David Robinson or the Jordan lefty layup vs the Lakers. If they lose it largely gets lost to history and blends in with a million other highlights he has given us

LeBron really made Kyrie and Smith better tonight. Impressive.

Credit to JR for showing up tonight. 20 points on 72 TS% , 3 steals and overally very good defense and a team high +33.

Also Kyrie did a great job finding his teammates

What?? But no part of LeBron's game is worth building an offense around! Inconceivable! /s

Kidding aside, Smith made the shots he usually makes, I don't think that's for or against LeBron.

Kyrie took waaaay too long to find him that one time, but hey, at least he's finding him!

I love Ali as much as the next guy but I mean lets just chill for a minute already with this. I'm on to NBA TV looking for some post game and they're interviewing Jim Brown live on the floor about Ali rather than discussing the game. We get it. He's a big deal. We can go 5 minutes without talking about him though. That and Cleveland Browns talk

Cavs since start of ECF averaging +29.5 MOV at home, -8.6 on the road (-17.25 removing Toronto game 6)

Check out his exchange with G35 from earlier a few pages back.

538 is a really terrible website at this point.

They tweet this after a 30 point beat down?

Well JR and Kyrie were good players before ever playing with Lebron. JR was Melo's number 2 guy and Kyrie all star game mvp

Kerr just totally scoffed at the notion that he may change the lineup before game 4. He might be playing coy, but he basically laughed at the question and said the loss tonight was simply on his team playing "soft", doesn't expect a change. "We lost one game".

Exactly. Which is why it's not LeBron's responsibility to shoulder the blame when they play like crap.

Big hypothetical, but say Love is still out with the concussion next game, and CLE pulls another win out. What does Lue do in game 5? If you bench him, you're embarrassing him a ton and might need to trade him (because you're basically signaling he's unplayable against an athletic West team), regardless of how the series ends. If you start him though, you're going to get out to an early deficit.

Cant worry about hurt feelings in the finals, love said he would sweep the floor if it got him a title, lue shouldnt worry about next year when for all he knows lebron could be a guy barely in the top 10 due to aging/huge load.

If these are the two choices I don't know how you don't take the side that increases your chance to win an NBA championship.
