Ok, Kevin Love showed up only in this respect - he was the only non-LeBron player on the Cavaliers to score in double figures. Also, he only really made his presence in the first four minutes of the game, where he scored 8 of this 14 points.

He's got to be more active and be more efficient on the block when there are smaller defenders switched on to him but much of his first half was disturbed because of foul trouble. Having said that, it's not like he made his presence felt in the second half.

Despite putting something to show on the stat sheet, he has the worst +/- among the Cavaliers' starters. His game hasn't been impacted by home or road as much as it has for the other players but as an overall support for LeBron, he's been disappointing, to say the least.
