Limited Upside, Episode 41: No Kevin Love, no problem

We discuss the Cavaliers’ Game 3 blowout victory, the awkward Kevin Love dilemma it yields and more in this week’s podcast.

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Another NBA Finals game, another blowout, another podcast to talk about it. David Zavac, the managing editor of SB Nation’s fabulous Cavaliers site Fear the Sword, joins us to talk about Cleveland’s 30-point victory in Game 3.

Among the topics:

  • Why did Cleveland play so much harder than it did in Games 1 and 2
  • How much of the Cavaliers’ success was due to the absence of Kevin Love? What does Cleveland do in Game 4?
  • Why switching LeBron James onto Draymond Green full time made such a difference.
  • What are the Cavaliers doing to make life difficult for Stephen Curry?
  • What explains the massive home-court advantage in this series?

We also look ahead to Game 4 and anticipate the adjustments the Warriors might make.
