Love and Frye can hangout on the 3pt line and pull Ibaka/Kanter/Adams out of the paint. Thompson can also guard the pick and roll. Love could go 0-30 in the entire series from 3. His threat alone is something the masses fail to understand. When it comes to strategically matching up with the Cavs, having Love and Frye opens up the lane for LeBron and Kyrie to drive without resistance.

I will say that Mozgov is going to have to step up and play more if they play OKC.

The Warriors aren't attacking and kicking out for 3 as much as they should. The Warriors are more of a pick' roll and try to create 3's off the dribble. Compounded by the fact that they don't have a big man who can drop 20+ unless that big man has an incredible night. The Cavs are an attack the rim and kick for 3 type of team. The biggest difference is the Cavs have 2 guys who can finish at the rim, where the Warriors honestly only have Green.
