Everything will open up if he can just hit wide open jumpers.

He's hitting them because he's taking them confidently. He knows he wants to take the jumper as soon as he touches the ball. It makes him sharper woth his moves, giving him a better rhythm. He MUST keep taking what the defense gives him, even if he hits a cold streak. Forcing drives against GS just won't work.

LeBron with a 20 point lead is the greatest shooter ever.

Kerr is out of his mind playing Varejao any minutes here.

I think that's the highest I've seen Lebron get all year.

Unreal effort and athleticism still. This is why we love LeBron and keep rooting for him; he has an all-time great motor and can do things almost no one else can do.

That alley goes on the career reel.

Unless something changes drastically here in the 4th, Golden State has gotten absolutely demolished 3 of the last 4 games they've played away from oracle. Not just beaten, absolutely gutted. And in the other game they would have lost if not for a historic night by Klay. This just isn't the same team we have seen all year, that much is obvious. Wether the gap has closed enough for the Cavs to have a window here remains to be seen. Still have to somehow get one at Oracle and that's just gonna be so damn tough

Love needs to come off the bench in G4. If lue cant see that he should be fired on the spot
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.

Cavs should contemplate bringing Love off the bench the rest of the series. The starting unit doesn't need him in this series.

I'd go further. Love needs to basically not play the rest of this series; who is he better than in the Cavs current rotation? Frye is doing a great job defending and is a better 3-point shooter. RJ, Shump, JR are much better in small-ball. TT and Mosgov giving defense and rebounding. Love is useless, as I've said 100x in this thread.

And then whenever this series is over, Love needs to be traded for 3+D wings.

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.

Yeah the Love sotuation is tough. Offensively and defensively, LeBron works so well at PF with TT there to play gritty ball below the rim. Love spaces the floor better, but he's been so inept as a scorer in the playoffs, and coupled with his horrible defense he totally changes the makeup of this team....for the worse.

I'm in favor of bringing him off the bench and limiting his minutes.

I'm very very worried love starts.... Hope lue has some balls.

Lebron at the pf is good but props to RJ he's the only other guy that's turned up every game.
