NBA Writer Ira Winderman On WFAN: Green Suspension Could Help Cavs, Particularly Kevin Love

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- So just how big of an impact will Draymond Green's suspension have on Game 5 of the NBA Finals?

That was a topic of discussion Monday between WFAN's Mike Francesa and Ira Winderman, who covers the Miami Heat for the Sun-Sentinel.

"The Warriors are at a net minus without Draymond Green on the court in this series, so you have to look at it that way of how much of a difference he makes," Winderman said. "He's the second line of defense against the penetrating LeBron James. It'll be interesting to see if Kevin Love starts. I believe he should tonight. I believe he actually could find himself back in the position of advantage, depending on if the Warriors decide to go small instead, maybe even Harrison Barnes at power forward. So I think it evens the playing field a little more."
