An optimistic Kevin Love in the USA Today piece on the Cavs:
"We know that things are going to work out," Cavaliers forward Kevin Love told USA TODAY Sports. "I know that we have a lot of talent here, guys who can do a lot of different things, so I tend to look at that more than the negative stuff...
You saw what J.R. can bring (in scoring 27 points on 11 of 23 shooting against the Warriors). Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he can fill it up. Shump, he can add a lot, especially defensively, he brings a very high energy there and is a big player. With T-Mo (Mozgov), I've never played with a guy of that size and you saw a little bit of what he'll be able to bring tonight (Nine points, eight rebounds, one block in 26 minutes)."
"This has been a hell of a process here with these guys out," Love said in our chat. "The last four, five, six, seven games – I can't remember how long it has been – but we've dropped four straight, and it has been trying. But we know we have to get everybody healthy, and when we have a full roster, we're a totally different team, so we have to continue...
If this would have been my second or third year (in Minnesota), I probably would have been very upset and not talking to anybody, but I know that we have a lot of talent and we're going to be able to make some stuff happen – especially with the moves that we made. They'll help us."
