I agree that Kevin would not have turned around the series. Where I do think it matters is that JBB & the team removed him completely from the rotation and let him go thinking he was expendable. We desperately needed defensive rebounding, an outside shooting big and someone to provide physicality under the basket. They let him go and then had NOTHING to counter the Knicks physicality and packing the paint on defense.I'm done caring about Kevin Love not being here was this series. He might have helped the Cavs steal a close game 1, and sure, that may have made a difference.
But Kevin Love wasn't saving this sinking ship anyway. At absolute best he'd have made it Knicks in 6 - and that's probably a stretch.
Wade, Lopez, Diakite, Stevens, Windler - all useless in this series.
Kevin is good enough to get minutes for the Heat who are up 3-1 in the series and up tonight in the second quarter in Milwaukee but NOT good enough to get minutes when Allen and Mobley are getting sand kicked in their faces down the shore and the bench is unplayable.
Like Flounder I fucked up - I trusted that the team knew what it was doing. It doesn’t. They made a bunch of boneheaded decisions that were exposed against the Knicks.
You abandon ship for a lifeboat better make sure the latter doesn’t have a big hole in it.
