I know the topic at hand has been discussed feverishly but Kevin Love was my biggest takeaway from tonight's contest.
23 and 9. Shot 50% from the floor, 60% from the three. While the front office formed the big 3, they hand this Love in mind. I will maintain that if he can consistently contribute similar to this, this team is poised for awesomeness.
It's a shame Irving had a quite night because I would have loved nothing more than a dominate big 3 performance on the biggest stage but James and Love would more than suffice.
Gotta give an honorable mention to the glue guys. Smith with 12, Thompson with 13 and Shumpert with 14. Nice distribution from those guys on the offensive end and so nice to see Smith get into some sort of offensive rhythm.
Time to handle business and sweep this squad on Sunday. To be honest, I thought that Chicago-Milwaukee series would have been hard fought but it seems both teams are looking to sweep. I want nothing but blood from this Bulls squad, I want them to bleed and I want them to taste defeat to LeBron again. Sweep this Boston team, even if Chicago sweeps their series the league will not start the 2nd round THAT quick, study and rest up and go at it.
Also, I am undefeated in game threads.
