It's hard to fathom a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers being "underdogs" in any situation, and Kevin Love isn't buying the label heading into the Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
"I don't feel like we're underdogs," Love told reporters. "I think we match up well with them and they'd say the same about us."
"We'll use it as fuel, we'll use it as motivation," he added. "But as far as the idea of playing into it, that's hard for me to say."
The defending champions will start their quest for back-to-back titles on Thursday.
