Cleveland Cavaliers Vs Miami Heat: Chris Bosh Warns Kevin Love ‘Playing With LeBron James Will Be Difficult—A Sacrifice!’ Shots Are Fired, Will LeBron React?

The Cleveland Cavaliers Vs Miami Heat will be the NBA headline. There are already too many reasons, and Chris Bosh adds more with the shots he fired!

Most of the new, casual NBA fans would forget that Chris Bosh was a franchise player. As NBC Sports  pointed out: "Just two players in the last eight years have averaged 24 points and 10 rebounds per game in season -Chris Bosh and Kevin Love."

Now, in an interview with Bleacher Report, Chris Bosh lets it all out-four years of taking a backseat (Dwyane Wade rode shotgun) after being in the driver's seat sounds like this:

"Yeah, it's a lot more difficult taking a step back, because you're used to doing something a certain way and getting looks a certain way. And then it's like, well, no, for the benefit of the team, you have to get it here."

"So even if you do like the left block, the volume of the left block is going to be different. Now you have to make those moves count. So with me, it was like a chess game. I'm doing this move and thinking about the next move and trying to stay five moves ahead. You're not getting it as much. If you got one or two a game, it's a lot different."

On Kevin Love: "It's going to be very difficult for him. Even if I was in his corner and I was able to tell him what to expect and what to do, it still doesn't make any difference. You still have to go through things, you still have to figure out things on your own. It's extremely difficult and extremely frustrating. He's going to have to deal with that."

Kevin Love is rather calm and collected in the face of his new role:

"I'd be lying to myself and lying to everybody here if I was telling you I didn't have to sacrifice. I think it's going to have to be an effort throughout the entire team to do what's best for the Cleveland Cavaliers. And we don't know what that is really yet. But I'm going to do what's best for this team to win, because at the end of the day that's what we want, is to win."

Sacrifices that big can only be worth it if you win the championship. When the Miami Heat stopped doing that, someone bolted. It should be worth noting that Kevin Love is on a short leash-he'll let his current deal expire at the end of the season and re-sign with the Cavs. Will he do that if they don't win the title?
