But that kind of attention is creating a headache for Bush. His stated goal is to go out, “look [people] in the eye and find out if there’s the kind of support for me the polls seem to show.” But every time he tries, a fuzzy boom mike will be in the way.

He also went 5-of-7 from the 3-point line, thanks to the kindness of teammates who kept an eye out for him. Such is the beauty of the current construction of the Cavaliers. They have three players who are accustomed to being the feature player, and Love appeared especially comfortable as the No. 1 option in Cleveland’s 106-100 preseason win....
That isn’t sustainable in the long run, but it’s important to remember the Cavaliers were also one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the regular season. They were second to only the Warriors in makes (10.7 per game) and their 3-point percentage (.362) was tied with the Hornets for seventh.
