Love looked passive and disengaged on the offensive end. When Love's lack of involvement was brought up to Cavs coach David Blatt during his postgame press conference, he admitted that it's an issue.

"That shouldn't happen," Blatt said of Love only shooting seven times. "That absolutely shouldn't happen."

Blatt later said: "I don't think we moved the ball well enough. We could have played at him a little bit more. We haven't practiced for a while. We have to work on a few things and clean that up."

LeBron James, who finished with 18 points and 11 assists in 36 minutes, felt like Love had more opportunities to contribute to the scoring outcome.

"I think Kev had some shots that he passed up on," James said. "Maybe he just felt like he wasn't in a good rhythm, but I know I hit him for a few shots after the first quarter where he had some good looks and he decided to swing, which is OK because it kept the ball moving.

But as to skepticism about whether he can make the triangle work in a league in which no one else plays it, Jackson said: “I’m not daunted by the number of people who have commented that this way of playing is arcane, that the game has moved on. The game has moved on.”

He also believes that the game, stylistically, moves in mysterious ways.

“I think it’s still debatable about how basketball is going to be played, what’s going to win out,” he said, leaving no doubt of his disdain for the point guard dominating concept of “screen-and-roll, break down, pass, and two or three players standing in spots, not participating in the offense.”

He prob will goto Lakers if he leaves Cleveland but if the Suns didn't have such a horrible ower with a bad rep we might have a shot. I feel like this is no longer a destination in the post Colangelo world. Sarver is like a troll on Reddit but less interesting.
