The Pitters' Place

Cleveland has won one game of the Finals so far - the one he missed. This would be like the Bulls of the nineties doing better with Pippen on the bench or the Lakers of the eighties improving after an injury to Worthy.

Love needs to play with a passing point guard. He's the third option on a team where the first two options are primarily scorers. They just don't fit together well. The only way it would work is if they prioritized ball movement and moving without the ball. But LeBron is the star, the coach, the GM, and owner so that's not gonna happen.

LeBron is Basketball Jesus. But how the Hell did they come back to tie the series? I think another part of Cleveland's problem (it's odd to talk about a team in the Finals having problems but the eastern Conference sucks) is that LeBron is a much better power forward than small forward so they're starting two power forwards. Love should go to the Lakers. They need a power forward... and a small forward and a shooting guard and a point guard and a center. They've pretty much got their starting lineup set for next year except for those five positions.
