Chicago was keying on Love and brought a defender to cover him tight outside. I love the Cavs' reaction to this: they simply left the defender on Love outside and passed to a wide open Andy.
That was the proper response. The Cavs took what was given to them. If the defender collapsed on Andy, Love would have been wide open. The Bulls picked their poison: guard Love or Andy. The choice was obvious. Compare this to years past when the defenders merely collapsed in the middle and left the wings wide open. No threat there.
Now keep in mind LeBron was in coast mode. They are not going to be guarding Love outside during the regular season. If they are, then LeBron is going to be driving to the lane with a single defender--or Kyrie will--and neither can be covered by one person. After this happens three or four times, Chicago will call time out and collapse the defense. Then Love will be wide open and rain with his threes.
So worry not. It's not about getting Love his stats: it's about winning. Besides, once Miller gets his shot back and we sign Ray Allen--and we will--pairing Love with Allen or Miller (or James or Kyrie) on the outside will cause Chicago--or whomever--to either guard the wings or collapse. If they continue to guard both wings, WOW--LeBron, Kyrie, Dion, Andy can have a pick and roll fest at the rim.
Sure it will be ugly during the first month or so against better teams, but it will start to make sense to the younger guys and become second nature. When it does, the Cavs will not be defendable.
We can also play Love at center and use Miller, Kyrie, James or Allen as the wings, with Love and LeBron playing a pick and roll game in the middle. Then the question becomes do you cover the wings or double LeBron or Love. Someone will be open.
