Best Case/Worst Case for Cavs with Love and JR being out !

[Kingwillball]

I think Best Case would be Love returning Game 1 and JR ONLY getting suspended 1 game. Worst Case would be Love done for season and Smith Suspended like 10 games. Probable case will be love Misses part of or all of Round 2 and Smith is suspended for 2-3 games.

There is a good chance the Cavs will be minus 2 starters for at least a part of the next round which to me takes it from Cavs in 6 to either Bulls in 6 or Cavs in 7. Will be huge storyline to next series developing next day or so..

I think it would be ridiculous if smith was suspended more than one game. Its not like he pushed the guy down, kicked him when he was down or punched him. He swung his arms around and smacked him in the face. Now, yes im a realist, im sure smith did it purposely but he made it look accidental. It was a tooth for a tooth situation. Kelly O didn't even get called for a foul. Remember a month ago when Harden kicked LeBron in the nuts? One game there. No reason Smith is out more than one game.

As for Love, it'll depend on how bad it is. The good news is, it was his left shoulder. Non shooting. Im sure a lot will depend on how safe he feels playing like that.

I was about to disagree with you, but you swung me.

I was gonna say JR should be out at least 4-5 games, but if harden only gets A game for an intentional crotch kick, it would be really odd for JR to get more than that for swinging his arm into a guy in back of him.

It's going to be fun watching Lebron and Kyrie combine for over 100 pts

better chance of kyrie going for 80 than lebron going for 50.

There was almost no force behind that kick.

JR swung through.

2-4 games.

Yeah I was seriously thinking about that too.....if anyone can beat Kobe's 81 or come close to it, it's Kyrie and the opportunity is now. You just never know when that boy catches fire.

If Lebron beats Bulls without 3 potential starters, shame on bulls LOL.

Am i the only person who thinks that, even without Kevin Love and JR Smith, the Cavs should still beat the Bulls pretty easily?

They have no depth though.

I know you hate the Bulls, but let's be real.

Love would've actually been the x factor and probably the most important player for the Cavs, matchup wise.

Yup you will see some Mike Miller and Matrix sightings next series..

[Wiltside]

Best case: They win.

Worst case: They lose, Lebron leaves, Cavs panic and sign Love to a max contract.

Pulling Bulls bigs out of the lane is a huge help to the Cavs, that they now dont have ?

Who is gonna spread the floor now ? Shawn marion's chest pass J ?

Matrix yes, but if Miller gets tick, Cavs will get slaughtered in transition D and on the boards.
i was at the game pre-all star break, here, heckling the f#@k out of Bran from two rows behind the bench.
Whenever Mozgov wasnt in, the BULLS ate cleveland alive on the glass.
