No but the stones can theoretically beat anyone on a given night, 4/7 would be kind of absurd though

They play small-ball with Love at the 5 sorta frequently. Usually not for this long, but its been working. Love can actually guard Drummond pretty well, where he is bad is rotating over. Since Drummond's game ends 3 feet from the basket he can cheat over pretty easily. It's a good lineup call by Lue.

Even with their starting lineup the Cavs quite often will have Love guard the opposing 5 and Thompson guard the 4 for precisely this reason.

Yep, though they'll usually throw another big in there after a few minutes because teams start figuring out the guards can attack Love.

Wow, that last play Irving got iced on the arm-in-arm screen again, and he took one step back and the Pistons almost fell over not knowing what to do next. That was a pretty play.

Two very different guys. I think it's kind of interesting that they've managed to find a way to respect each other and play well together. Well, most of the time anyway.
