Kevin Love’s concussion issues have not been handled well from start to finish, and that apparently has the forward cutting an unhappy figure.
According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, Love is not happy that the Cavaliers would not medically clear him to play in Game 3 on Wednesday.
ESPN sources say Love has been lobbying hard for clearance to play Game 3 but has been told Friday's Game 4 is the soonest he'll be cleared

Kevin Love is "really frustrated" by the Cavs' insistence that he sits out tonight's Game 3, according to one source close to the situation.

On one hand, this isn’t surprising. Of course Love would want to play. It’s the first time he’s been able to play in an NBA Finals and the Cavaliers are facing a must-win. On the other hand, he clearly was not right, and the Cavaliers dragged their feet on putting him in concussion protocol. If he can’t play, he can’t play. You can understand his frustration, but directing it at the team seems misplaced.
