I think we all agree on the general philosophy. The problem is that Love is a liability and plays in a system that exposes his defensive flaws. Add the championship or bust expectations and you get benched for the final 12.
Eta: what I like about your post is that you highlight a point most causal fans don't get. You don't just roll out the ball and ask them to "go shoot hoops". There's a lot to having the right personnel pieces, different offensive/defensive sets etc.

well to the OP yes, but as the thread evolved, the narrative lately is that Love is somehow less of a player he was last year-which is false. Playing the PF people expect a certain defensive ability which is fair, but is something that Love is being crucified for because they have no rim protector...and Bron-Bron fanboys/ Ohio natives aren't going to blame him for anything.

If Dallas can win with Dirk at the four, then Cleveland should be able to with Love at the four.
