Kevin Love out of Cavs 4th-quarter rotation; time to entertain idea (again) of him coming to Celtics?

After winning their first 10 postseason games, the Cavaliers are suddenly knotted up 2-2 in a hard-fought series with the Raptors. In Cleveland's back-to-back losses, Kevin Love shot a combined 5-for-23 from the floor (21.7%) for a total of just 13 points. And despite logging 29 minutes in Game 3 and another 31 in Game 4, Love saw only six seconds of fourth-quarter action in the two contests. Fellow Cavs big man Tristan Thompson has also played just 20 seconds in the past two fourth quarters.

From ESPN.com, here's Zach Lowe's take on the situation:

Love hurts Cleveland's defense, and Thompson cramps its spacing.
