Kyrie Irving is out for the rest of the playoffs. To me, this Cavs team isn't done yet. They have key contributors that I think really could be a big impact for this Cavs team. Mike Miller and Shawn Marion are going to come and play. They both have great playoff experience. While this will be a hard task to take down the Golden State Warriors, all these 2 have to do is give some points and be great contributors. Take a look at what these guys have done in the past

Mike Miller:

• 5.2 PPG for the Playoffs over his carreer
• 7.3 PPG in the Playoffs last year for the Grizzlies
• 11.3 PPG for his career
• 40.7% from 3 point range over his career
• 4.4 RPG over his career
• 2.7 APG over his career

Shawn Marion:

• 4 time all-star
• 13.9 PPG in the Playoffs over his career
• 15.2 PPG over his career
• 8.7 RPG over his career
• 1.5 Steals over his career
• 1.1 Blocks over his career

I really don't understand why the Cavs aren't playing Marion right now. Why do they even have this player on their team if they don't even play him? This guy was a 4 time all-star with major playoff experience. He is also a great defensive player. This guy should be played but for some reason, Coach Blatt refuses to. I just don't understand it. But now with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving out, he should have to play them. I actually think the Cavs will play great with Miller and Marion on the floor, and that the Cavs are not out of the finals yet.
