Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2731799, member: 488"] I don't know. I'd rather have him than not if I'm Cleveland, but I almost feel you're better off surrounding LeBron with athletes and trying to win a low-scoring game. Love has gotten exposed as a primary defender and a help defender in this series; abused might be the better word. Stevens has proven pretty proficient at targeting weak defensive players - one of the reasons Milwaukee hung in there for seven games is that they were fairly stout across the board. Jeff Green isn't good, but can he play well in one game? Maybe. We know what we're getting with Love - a minus defensive player who looks good on offense when his shot is falling. Where they'll miss him most will be when it comes to preserving LeBron. Love can at least lift some pressure with the occasional post-up and maybe even direct the show for a minute or two if LeBron needs a rest. [/QUOTE]
