Cavs Will Not Win it All Unless LeBron Changes His Game.

[Ballin24]

Before Cleveland Kevin Love was a guy averaging 26 points and 15 rebounds. He didn't stand out at the three point line chucking threes back then. He was allowed to get touches on the block and work in the high post and took mid-range and close-range shots.

Lebron is a guy who cares far too much about his stats just like James Harden. He likes to overdribble and then kick out to shooters in order to compile assists. This is not winning basketball he will not beat Spurs or Warriors playing this way it will not work unless him and Kyrie can go god mode in a series.

Bottom line is that LeBron needs to throw the ball into Love a few times per game to make Love feel involved and get him going. The issue with this is it doesn't lead to assists which is what lebron lives for and he won't give him the ball on the block because it won't show up in the stats.

Look beyond the stats and it is simple why LeBron has always needed so much talent in order to win it all.

Dont think LeBron worries about any stats he plays 35 minutes a game, stats would come accidentally think he just tries to get teammates involved, Love averaged 6.6 three pt attempts his last season in Minnesota, 5.2 and 5.5 the last two years respectively. They might need a versatile guy like he had in Miami in Wade.

LeBron on getting a triple double:

"I was going to stay out there until I got it," James said. "I wasn't going to let this one slip away. I've had too many games where I was one assist, one rebound away. I wasn't coming out."



And Love averaged more three point attempts because he took way more shots in general so that isn't saying much. His % of shots coming from three are way higher in Cleveland.

Thats a little different, thats a stat away from a triple double, Ive seen many guys do desperate things to get a triple double when close to it even miss shot at opponent's goal which doesnt count as a rebound, but that doesnt reflect his attitude during the game. He's been the most unselfish star in the league since he entered who's position isnt characterized as a pg.

This is not a guy who doesn't care about his personal stats people are fooled by the assists that he gets from his drive and kicks. If he was truly unselfish he would let Love play to his strengths.

He needs to be more aggressive attacking the basket is he scared of being fouled hard or what

Love chooses to stand on the 3 pt line, youre blaming LeBron for that? Unreal. Love needs to change his playing attitude, doesnt want to bang like he should all game, Im sure he'll explain it as he's stretching the floor, so what was the excuse when he was jacking up 6.6 threes a game in his last year in Minny? That Rubio's fault?

Are you serious? Love took way more shots in Minnesota so obivously hes gonna have more three point attempts. His percentage of three point attempts are much higher in Cleveland. THAT IS BASIC MATH!

He is spacing the floor for lebron to drive in and kick out because lebrons shot is absolutely broken as many stats show he is one of the worst shooters outside the paint this season.

[jtoler]

Good points, fair enough, I dont like the way LeBron plays either, other than the unselfishness Ive never liked his style really, cringe when he takes 3's should be an 18 foot in guy. Holds the ball too long, but he does know the game. I think he'd be more effective if he played off the ball more.

Cavs are poorly put together. Bron, Bosh and Wade = Defense. Bron, Irving, and Love = No Defense.

[Seto]

Love is a useless player. Everything he gives you on offense he gives back on the other end. You could sort of say he gives you enough for it to be worth it if he's the first option but
#1) He's never going to be the first option on this team
#2) We saw what happens when he's the featured guy on a team - 0 playoff appearances and 0 winning records in 6 years

Cavs with a new coach are going to win it all -- JUST WATCH
