I wonder who the Cavs try to trade Love for. Hopefully they get a better return then they did for Irving lol.

Love + BKN Pick for Leonard?

Love for Carmelo straight up lol?

I recently had that same thought, and yeah, it would be pretty funny to see, imo, should it ever happen.

When did Kevin Love devolve into this below avg player?

It's like he's Channing Frye who rebounds at this point, lol.

As much as I want to see the Cavs, Lebron in particular, fail in the second round, how funny would it be to see these vaunted Raptors choke once again? Lol

They literally choked their lead away at the end LOL.

Dumb turnovers, rushed shots, and horrible perimeter defense overall.

It's amazing how terrible he looks around the rim.  His confidence has been shaken since coming back from injury.
I wonder if his panic attacks, injuries and seeming mistreatment in Cleveland shook him a bit. I hope he can regain form somewhere without LeBron

I have never seen a player make late passes like LeBron. It's almost unbelievable how close he lets the defense commit to him before he makes a pass.

It still irks me that Lebron literally shoves Van Fleet, yet Van Fleet gets the technical.

SMH wow. Refs really scared to give Lebron the technical??  ::)

I think all of the above are contributing factors.  Cleveland has been a toxic environment for a few years now.  The organization can try to downplay things but it's no surprise that both Lue and Love were facing legitimate health issues related to stress.

Raptors come out and start extremely well in the 3rd. Lets see if they keep it up or choke the lead again. Also, Kevin Love might be Toronto's best player tonight lol.

Yeah, the whole organisation is a complete mess. Without LeBron keeping them in contention, as he has done over the last couple of years (besides maybe this year), I think they could be in some serious trouble.

Love just looks defeated on the court

It's absolutely crazy that Lue allowed Love to get abused by JV for nearly the entire quarter.  Somehow the Cavs are hanging around.  Maybe they go on a big run while JV is on the bench.
