4. Where’s The Love?

It hasn’t been an easy series for the guy the Cavaliers traded for two years ago. Kevin Love had a solid outing in Game 1, scoring 17 points to go along with 13 rebounds and a pair of assists.

Since then, the All-Star forward has scored a total of 18 points and pulled down just 11 rebounds. This not the level of production that will help the Cavaliers win this series.

In each of the previous three rounds of the postseason, Love had two 20-point games in each of those series. During the Finals, however, he has yet to eclipse that threshold.

Although he may be a defensive liability when it comes to defending pick-and-roll situations, Love has to find a way to rediscover the form that we saw during the previous rounds, a player who can off for 20 and 10 at any given moment.

With the second unit barely having an impact on the series, it is important for the Cavaliers to get as much production from the starters — aside from Irving and James of course.

Next: No. 3
