NBA: 10 Storylines To Watch In The 2015-16 Playoffs

How Will Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving Look?

In season 2 of LeBron’s new Big three in Cleveland, and there won’t be any excuses this team. After last season, you could’ve said that they were injured, even though I’m not sure how many actually believed that premise. This year though, they must produce, and in a meaningful way, in order to avoid blame if the Cavs fail to win the NBA Championship.

LeBron is going to need help more than every this season, especially if they return to the NBA Finals against the Warriors. And it’s going to be up to Irving and Love. The Cavs’ championship hopes don’t lie on LeBron’s shoulders. We know what he’s going to do night in and night out. We don’t know which Love or Irving we’re going to get on any given night.

If the Cavs fall short of winning the championship this season, changes are coming this summer. And one of Love or Irving will be on the chopping block, if not both. A strong performance is needed now more than ever.
