Nuggets going to attack Kevin Love in the pick and roll tonight with him starting, but the Heat are going into Game 2 knowing that. I’m looking forward to seeing how Spo has worked around that issue. He has something up his sleeve. – 7:30 PM

Will Kevin Love get a chance to play a part in these Finals? We’ll see in Game 2 tonight. But even after three straight DNP-CDs, he’s making an impact behind the scenes – just like he has these last three months.
