James has previously said dealing Irving was the beginning of the end of the Cavs’ run. Love concurred this week. “It was significant,” he said. “Take away any of the off-the-court stuff — it’s easy to say that — but on the court, they were devastating together. Playing downhill like that, when they were on, outside of the Warriors, we didn’t believe that anybody could play with us. With how we spread the floor, with how Bron was so powerful and dominant. Kyrie as well. He was a magician with the basketball and playing in the open court. Hitting 3s and shooters all around them. It’s tough to bring in so many new players and not know what that’s going to look like.”
