The Cavs aren't incapable of using Love the right way *vid*
Check out the highlights in Dallas the other night:

Love played great that night. He had a good variety of buckets, majority inside. I think he only made two outside shots that night, and everything else was inside. I understand that Love is great to space the floor for LBJ/Kyrie, but they should utilize Love more, espeically when LeBron is off the floor. That is a good time to change the game plan to Love in the post. If they don't end up with a good look, he can always dish it out to Kyrie who can create a shot in a split second, or pass it out to shooters on the perimeter. Love is a great passer with great floor vision.
Barkley was absolutely right that he needs to exploit the mismatches. Hopefully the tape from last night will do the Cavs a lot of good.

Still not sure if he's a good fit there, I imagine Minnesota is way different than Cleveland.

Go back and watch last nights game. He was getting destroyed on the inside. To his credit the refs werent calling shit.
Then Kyrie took over. Nobody on the Cavs even Lebron was relevant.
Outside of hurt feelings, give me a logical reason Blatt should have run more action for Love in that game as opposed to the dallas game where he was going up against softies?

I'm aware he had a bad night, and it's going to tougher to play against San Antonio's defense opposed to Dallas'. Amico reported he was having back problems and was benched in the 4th as a result. I still think it's a game plan the Cavs need to work on. The stats show that he is 1 PPP in the paint

It's clear to see.
Many times Love has a mismatch inside and you'll see Kyrie or Bron dribbling the air out of the ball then taking a contested pull-up.
At this point, 40.5% of his shot attempts have been 3's, too.
Ofc he has to adjust, now playing with those two also, but it's clear they should utilize him way better.

Kyrie is 1.1 per iso.

Because there were points where he was being covered by Danny Green or Boris Diaw on mismatches and he SHOULD be able to easily abuse them in the post. He's a stretch 4, but he was always a pretty solid post up threat in Minnesota. He can also make some good passes to perimeter guys like Kyrie/LeBron who can play well off ball, or catch/shoot

To win a championship, you need more of a game plan than LeBron/Kyrie iso.
Also, you really need to have a solid post presence to win rings. In Miami, that was LeBron, but this year LBJ is playing more of a floor general role than post-up threat

If Love isn't outlet passing he isn't being used right

He's been solid on outlet passes.

Nah, they tried to get it to him and he was unsuccessful. He was 0-6 outside of the 3. I think he got his shot blocked like 3 times in the paint. And after that Kyrie took over.
If Kyrie is cooking you let him work. Not force action to Love. That's just people trying to absolve Love's feelings. It's obvious Blatt doesnt care.

I agree you gotta let Kyrie go off when he's going off, and I wouldn't have gone to Love last night much since he was having a bad game.
But if they do get Love to be a reliable threat down low, they would be unstoppable. A true big 3
