TORONTO– Deciding whether Kevin Love plays center or power forward is walking “a fine line,” according to LeBron James.
“Obviously it’s a fine line,” he said after the team’s Thursday morning shootaround. “We’ve been very successful with Kev at the 5, but we have to listen to what Kev needs as well. If there’s times throughout the postseason or the game where he’s feeling a little worn down because he’s battling with a lot of bigs, then we’ve got to make the substitution properly.
“I think Coach Lue has done that, obviously with the start of Game 7, being able to start (Tristan Thompson) at the five and allow Kev to play his natural position.
