Listen, whoEVER would come out of the West would be a tough matchup for us, especially sans Love.
Let's just hope we have that concern in a month. Long way to go until it is. Agree with @Chris - let's worry about the Bucks first. Wait, he said Bulls, my bad.

1. Sign Perkins until he decides to hang it up.
2. Put Perkins in whenever Miss Olynyck is in.
3. Tell Perkins to use 5 fouls only on Miss Olynyck.
4. Commit a flagrant 2 on the 6th foul against Miss Olynyck. Preferably, taking out his knees and tearing whatever ligaments there are.
5. Rinse and repeat for his entire career.
6. Pretend to bum rush Brad Stevens when going for a loose ball. That fuck bitch of a coach deserves a concussion.
7. Bitch slap Jae Crowder whenever he drives to the basket. Glass jaw can't take a bitch slap and will fold like a cheap tent.
8. Punt Isiah Thomas over the backboard at halftime.

Let me try to put this in perspective a little bit.
Cleveland had the best football player of his generation and one of the greatest of all time in Jim Brown. The city won a championship before it was even called the Super Bowl. Since that time, Cleveland has been cursed. You all know the history so I don't need to relive those moments. Cleveland once again has the best player of its generation, in basketball this time, and a chance to win a title. The Cleveland curse has been too strong to break for most people. It takes a certain individual to break that curse. The Kevin Love injury? That is Cleveland's way of testing this team once again. Once again, the curse must be broken. The curse feeds on the weak, preys on the fragile minded. It is once again up to the game's greatest player to give this city what it so desperately covets.
Nothing is given. Everything is earned.
As fans, we have one job during this run. Stick together. Don't panic. Don't blame. Just stick together. and enjoy the ride, whatever it may be.

Expect Kevin Love to throw every cheap dirty shot he can at the tranny for the foreseeable future.
He is a legacy NBA player after all. Shit, can we sign Reggie Evans and just have him grab the tranny's junk every time we play Boston?

Kevin is too smart for that. He'll outsource.

I got so much shit for saying I'd Nancy Kerrigan Rashard Lewis' knees...
Was I wrong for wanting to do so?
Is it wrong for saying I now officially want to do it to every "stretch 4" we ever see in the playoffs?

But would you enjoy it, or only do it as a necessary evil?

Ask me this question 10 years ago? And I'd say necessary evil.
Ask me today, it's something I enjoy, and I hate the idea that moral and social constructs limit me from dismantling people on a daily basis.

So is there any new word on Love getting/delaying/no surgery?
If he doesn't get surgery then i can see him letting it heal until the Finals and see of course if we make it and also where he stands on pain, or how strong his shoulder feels.
He's a warrior and the likely done for season thing is just that, likely if we dont make the finals...

Gilbert left open only the very tiniest sliver that Love could perhaps return very late in the playoffs. Based on everything that was said, even if he did manage to return Willis Reed style, he'd be a shadow of his former self offensively. And it's not like his defense would make up for that. Maybe a poor man's James Jones.
The Willis Reed thing is the most overhyped episode in NBA history, and the only reason it is part of NBA lore is that it was played up in the media center of the world by big-mouthed New Yorkers. Had it happened anywhere else, even in Boston, it would be a minor footnote at best. The Knicks won that game because Clyde Frazier went off for 36 points and 19 assists, not because Reed tossed in a lousy 2 buckets.
It's a big deal in basketball history because despite New York being the alleged "Mecca of Basketball", their Knicks franchise hadn't won a championship since the league began way back in 1946, and the rival city of Boston had won 11 championships in the last 15 years. So if they couldn't have the greatest franchise, by God they were going to manufacture the greatest story.
Any hope of a Kevin Love "Willis Reed" moment is based on nothing more than a manufactured myth concocted by New York sportswriters. If we're going to win it, it's going to be without Love making any meaningful contribution other than being a right-handed towel waver.
