Cleveland Cavaliers Playoffs: Did Losing Kevin Love affect the Cavs
The Cavs are finally back in the playoffs and unfortunately fell off in game 1 against the New York Knicks. Even though only one game has been played so far, many Cleveland fans are worried. Some fans are even speculating that losing PF Kevin Love is affecting our play. I am here to tell you what to expect and how to not be so overwhelmed about losing Kevin Love.
First of all, the loss of Kevin Love has actually given the Cavs a better chance to contend. The reason I say this is because either with or without Kevin Love, the Cavs would still be the 4th seed in the playoffs. The only difference is right now, the Cavs are using dead moments on Love’s gameplay.
I understand the concern and we all enjoyed Kevin Love’s time in Cleveland. He was here for almost 10 seasons and played a key role in the 2016 Championship series. The unfortunate thing is that everything must come to an end and Love’s style was starting to get outdated with Cleveland.
Since Love has been with the Heat, he has scored more points and even helped them win their first game of the playoff. But I would not count his current performance on this Cavs team because sometimes, players learn to play better on a new team. It’s unfortunate but that is how the game of professional sports works.
So, for anyone worried about losing Kevin Love, it is not going to make a difference. The Cavs are here, in the now, and will make this a great series. They slipped up on the first game, but we have six more to fight with this series. Let’s Go Cavs!!!!
