A GoFundMe has been set up in an effort to get Kevin Love to sit out Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

This comes after Game 5 in Oakland, where the "Big Three" member only scored two points. The other two members scored a combined 82 points Monday. 

Giles Debenham, the creator of the GoFundMe page, wrote in his plea for money: "Kevin Love is playing like a bum and just taking up room on the court."

"He's just a body on the court. That's about it," Debenham told NewsChannel 5.

Love suffered a concussion in Game 2, sat out Game 3, and has just under a 9 point and 6 rebound average in the finals. 

Debenham said those stats aren't cutting it. 

"He's a bum! Get him off the court," he said. 

Adding that he's not worried about backlash from other fans, after making the controversial page. 

"You get backlash for breathing the wrong way these days," Debenham said.

He proposes that fans help raise money to pay the forward to sit on the bench during Thursday's game. The goal is to raise $10 million.So far no one has donated. 

The Cavaliers hope to get their third win against the Warriors at home Thursday.
