Live Thread: Cavs @ Timberwolves
2021-01-31
Cavs look to get right after a stinker in NY. Cavs mostly at full strength, with just Love, Stevens, and Delly out. Meanwhile the Wolves are nursing a LOT of injuries.
Tonight's @Timberwolves Starters vs. Cleveland:
Russell
Beasley
Okogie
Edwards
DavisOUT
Culver – Left Ankle Sprain
Hagans- G League Two-Way
Hernangómez – Health & Safety Protocols
McLaughlin- Two way
Reid- Left Wrist Sprain
Towns – Health & Safety Protocols— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) February 1, 2021
Hopefully the Cavs improve on their three point frequency tonight and are better about running a precise offense. Also hope they don’t play down to their competition and that Larry isn’t so rusty.
Meanwhile, in the good news Dept., Kevin Love announced he’s engaged to long-time girlfriend d Kate Bock. Congrats Kev, and hope to see you on the court soon!
Great outlet by dre. Can’t believe okoro finished that after the bobnle
Strength by Drummond there
DRUMMOND FOUND MONEY!
This game is UGLY.
DG with a dumb shot 4 point swing.
“YOU CAN’T STOP ME ” !!!
Boy ac said it. We’re lucky minny building a brick house so far. Hopefully that doesn’t change.
SHOULD HAVE SO HI/ LOW ACTION WITH NANCE TO DRE
Dre drawing all kinds of fouls
I was wrong, DG got the hook for his third foul, that’s his own damn fault.
Our passing to the bigs inside needs work. Lots of TOs like that
I like that guards are looking, but yes execution and precision could be better as well as knowing when to pass and when to just take the shot. Still sexton doesn’t try to pass in the lane last year anywhere near as much.
Good sexton back in.
WITH THAT SIZE DIFFERENCE —BIGS SHOULD BE ON THE BLOCKS !!!!
Agree. Timing seems off on cavs inside passing though.
NANCE DUMP OFF TO ALLEN!!!!
Worked but nance is passing too much. Had the jump hook or layin or foul there. Just go back up strong.
the only guy who doesn’t need to worry about passing too little LMFAOOOO
Yep.
Let’s not give the ball to allen or dre for that matter super high. Or if you do go and get it back from them quickly
Dotson has been a disaster… this is on JB.
Yeah. Hurting us
now he’s making his ISO shots LMFAOOOO
Jinxed him into playing well
whatever it takes!!!
and soon as post this, he finally makes his shots LMFAOOO
ONLY 5 ASSISTS —NEED MORE
WHO IS PISSED JB OR DG OR BOTH
both from what i could tell.
Why did Garland get benched
I’m guessing situationally it’s because he missed the initial roll and took the shot.
that was an awful possession LMFAOOO
DON’T THINK THEY CAN STOP ANY OF OUR BIGS
They are on the small side
Ha allen looks around and is like ok nobody can block me.
Oy. I don’t know why Allen is posting so high.
TERRIBLE LAST POSSSESSION THERE
wow, JB benched Garland for that shot and he’s pissed….
Doesn’t look like they can stop Allen
Sneaky finish by dg. May have travelled but impressive english
Nifty shot from DG. Hope we don’t have to rely on a lot of those.
WOW DG WHAT A FINISH!!!!!! FINGER ROLL KISS!!
Darius with the horse shot.
Oh damn. Hope sexton didn’t roll the ankle too hard.
How didn’t that go as a flagrant review for landing space?
Should have been a foul minimally
nice play Drummond, sexton should’ve gotten an and1~!!!!
Sexton hurt?
Thought towns was back. Boy covid hit him hard i guess. Rough year for him.
SEXTON MONEY!!!
Got to listen to the radio feed on a trip to the store. Jim Chones so good.
Love his work
Can u listen there?
I❤️Radio made it hard last year, now need a vpn to overcome location restrictions. Easier to listen to tv feed.
WOULD LIKE TO SEESOME –ROOKIE ON ROOKIE / ICE VS EDWARDS
Great second effort by okoro
Cedi making things happen in transition
WELCOME SIMMO / JOHNB / VINTAGE —IT IS AN ‘OFFICIAL ” PARTY NOW —CAVS ON NICE LITTLE RUN
OKORO CLOSEOUT ATTACK AND HUSTLE!!!!
Cavs woke up a little…
CEDI OPEN COURT IS GOOD!!!
Thought he got a little lucky it got goaltended. Didn’t think that was gonna go in the way it came off the backboard
That’s one of the best moves I’ve seen from Drummond all season
WITH THE SIZE / WT DIFFERENCE –THEY SHOULD ALMOST GO TO DRE EVERYTIME DOWN—DRE NEEDS TO CATCH AND THEN CONVERT —COULD GET 40 TONIGHT
Key is convert. So far ok.
His hands look OK so far
Drummond just feasting on the small Minny bigs!!!
We’re losing people on the perimeter too much
nice defense but Okoro a step late.
SEXTON TAKE!!!
Damn larry got caught in the air a few times so far.
larry still rusty.
Yeah looks like it
good take Sexton
WOW GREAT PASS DRUMMOND! nice finish Cedi…. joke defense from Minny LMFAO
Dre blows the layup and 5 point swing just like that.
Drummond taking it up strong… gets the bounce.
Terrible turnover Cedi… move the ball.
4 turnovers and Minny shooting over 60%
HEY ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE—LMFAO
Just me and you I guess!!! LMFAOOo
Joining in now!!
oh wait, just saw John B
Here, just getting shouted at by my kids.
WOW, this is awful a lazy start…. precise is the opposite of what the Cavs are doing.
WAY TOO EASY
Drummond fumbles a pass that hits him right in the hands LMFAOOO
Hand.
DG getting free throws is a good thing.
WOW THAT WAS A SMOOTH JUMPER OKORO!!!!
NICE STROKE BY ICE THERE —JUST NEEDS TO BE MORE CONSISTENT
NANCE TOUCH LEADS TO GOOD OFFENSE!!
FANTASTIC DRIVE AND FINISH OKORO!
Glad Dre took it up strong… he usually doesn’t.
DG set up Nance perfectly, and Nance forces it to Dre… silly play by Nance at this point.
POSTED ON THE OTHER PODCAST —–EVERYONE ELSE DIGGING OUT FROM ORLENA SNOWFALL —-WOW GRANDKIDS WORE ME OUT PLAYING IN THE SNOW TODAY —–KIDS JUST DON’T GET COLD OR TIRED— ( ULTIMATE SACRIFICE OF THE BODY FOR THE GRANDKIDS :-) —-I MIGHT ‘STRUGGLE ‘ TO GET THRU THE 1ST QTR
CONGRATS KLOVE –HOPE YOU FOUND A ‘SPECIAL ” ONE LIKE I DID WITH THE MRS NOMAD 40 + YRS LATER
Read that initially as “their point frequency”. Which I guess also works.
LMFAO by the hook or by the crook!!!
Hell yeah congrats KLOVE! Glad he’s happy, can’t wait to see him play again.
