On Tuesday, Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin didn't seem too confident in Kevin Love returning to the 2015 NBA Playoffs after dislocating his shoulder and suffering a torn labrum during Game 4 against the Boston Celtics, calling it "highly unlikely." One day later, the Cavaliers and their fans can throw any remaining hope out the window.
With J.R. Smith out for the first two games of the next round and Love out for the remainder of the postseason, the Cavaliers have a steep climb ahead against the winner of the Bulls/Bucks series. It's definitely not going to easy for Cleveland. Can they overcome these new obstacles? We will find out soon enough.
