INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The narratives for the Cavaliers in these playoffs have been what?
One, that coach Tyronn Lue was going to trust the players he knows the best who've been here the longest, betting on his four champions (LeBron James, et. al) and best three veterans without rings.
And, secondly, all the roster reworking general manager Koby Altman did at the trade deadline hasn't really worked out for the Cavs in the playoffs. Three of the four players he brought in proved not ready for the moment and George Hill has been up and down.
But what if Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance can work themselves out of the red and into the black?
