I can see a situation forming in the playoffs in the event that the Cavs stay away from Love. Lebron's doing his best to run the offense by himself because everybody freezes up and can't find their own dicks, much less the ****ing basketball hoop. It happened to Lebron when Moe Williams went cold and Delonte West would go cold. There was nothing that could be done.
Kyrie is still getting better as a shooter and might be that guy. But contrary to what RustShack says, the Cavs don't have anybody else who's a consistent shooter. Dion Waiters is still unproven as ****. They have nobody else but Lebron and maybe Irving and a small chance that Waiters could do it.

Kylie can shoot. Don't let Mike Browns offense fool you. Waiters has improved significantly as an outside shooter. LeBron is a solid shooter. And you have James Jones and Mike Miller any time you need a shooter. Even though many dismiss Bennett, they don't know what they have in him. But he also offers ability to be a stretch four. He was a solid three point shooter in college.
Keep in mind these guys have had to create their own shots last year in Mike Browns ridiculous offense. They will have opportunities to be pick and pop shooters on open looks.
Now let's do this exercise for who can defend the paint. Varejao who hasn't played fifty games in umpteen years. Tristan Thompson who is a good paint defender at power forward and very average at Center. Haywood maybe as a one year rental.
