Live Thread: Timberwolves @ Cavs
2022-02-28Tonight the Minnesota Timberwolves have revenge on their mind as they pay a visit to the shores of Lake Erie to take on the Cavs in their season finale. The Cavs served a proper beatdown in Minneapolis 123-106 in a game Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland absolutely dominated, while Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio put on a show against their former team. Much has changed since then, and the Cavs find themselves simultaneously in the underdog/hunted role.
If the Cavs have any designs on winning, they must come up with a plan to neutralize D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards on the perimeter, Brandon Goodwin and Isaac Okoro will have their hands full tonight. Karl Anthony Towns vs. Jarrett Allen is must see TV, and Allen will have to dominate that matchup if the Cavs want a chance to win. Can Evan Mobley be an X-factor in this game? Point Mobley might be a nice weapon! Let’s hope Coach J.B. Bickerstaff loosens up and get more creative in his decisions, they need to find some energy from somewhere.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs
BONUS: Austin Carr scouting report

Mins management was his biggest flaw on paper but this lack of fire might be worse
C3DI!!!
WE ARE ‘BALL WATCHING ” ON REBOUNDS INSTEAD OF “BODY HUNTING ” –LET’S GO CAVS !!—GET THE CROWD ENERGIZED AGAIN !!
Get ‘em coach !
Cavs let the refs take them out of this game. Hard to blame them but they gotta regroup. Some of this is on JB for not using a challenge, taking a tech or getting anyone’s back.
yup agreed esp re JB
The shit referees have robbed the Cavs of all their momentum. Completely turned the game around.
Rebound dummies
THERE WAS NO FOUL
Prince just ducking travelled , my gif about to turn this shit off
So far the wolves are +11 off blatantly wrong officiating…
I’m over it. Cavs are getting fucked
holy shit they ruled that a flagrant????
Are there any other teams that get road refereeing at all their home games?
Prince flops for three. They should reverse this to offensive for as bad as prince kicks his leg out.
tony brothers special huh, someone audit his taxes!!!
It’s not even a foul. Prince jumped forward three feet
LMFAOOO fuck these refs
Prince jumped forward !!! Wtf
This is some of the worst officiating I’ve ever watched.
Refballed
Jesus. Goodwin.
wow, thank goodness for Goodwin
Challenge. The. Call.
How do you call that
That’s two absolute shut calls
CHALLENGE THAT!!!!! THATS TWO POINTS!
For old time’s sake…
WHAT A PASS LOVE!
Nice pass KLove !
How do you keep leaving that guy come on Kev.
Nice pass BG!
Gotta run McDanuels off the line
We need a goon
Daniels out of control.
Damn. Kevin hit his head hard.
WTF is this officiating.
Minny bench dedefinitely turned up the pressure. Time to use it against them.
Cedi in. And a 3 !
Goodwin balling out
JB told him he’s playing 40+ tonight LMFAO
I guess we can add Cedi to the list on injured backcourt. F@#K
he’s back and dropping in threes, boom! that didn’t look good tho
Bad start up the quarter, bad missed call plus unlucky bounce
Cavs cant survive Frazier minutes, where’s Nembhard???
Agreed, he looks like some guy you grabbed in a pickup game to make five
Man Nembhard was awful Saturday night, too tentative
I will be surprised if he (Frazier) makes it back on the floor tonight, glad he made that first 2 though
oh damn missed it, that sucks
Effing Tony Brothers.
Goodwin 5 dimes in the first quarter.
what a start!!!! Brandon Goodwin a big dawg!
Frazier their emergency guy.
Nice first quarter !!! Much better than sat night
Kev hit the brakes and he’ll fly right by.
ICE ALL OVER THE FLOOR ALSO—NEED TO GET MOBES GOING ON OFFENSE !!
Goodwin might wind up with the dawg award tonight. Two tough contests at the rim. I thought he was going to get schooled by their guards tonight, right now he’s the one they can’t cover.
really enjoyed his defense in quarter one, that contest on the Beverley break was incredible
Incredible hustle by Goodwin. Love blocked twice so far, looking old and slow
GOODWIN PLAYING FOR HIS NBA LIFE
YEP –I WILL ALWAYS BE A LNJ FAN BUT HE HAS BEEN SHIPPED TO THE PELS ( HAS BEEN INJURED OFTEN THIS YEAR –AGAIN ) AND LAURI HAS BEEN A GOD SEND FOR THE CAVS
Goodwin has been incredible so far.
LIKE WHAT I SEE SO FAR —-WOOF-WOOF -WOOF !!!! ” UNLEASH THE DAWGS “
Cedi with some testicular torsion there.
Lov3!!! Finally
Goodwin shot out of a cannon this game. Wow.
Cavs are so much better with Lauri.
He’s so good. I was wrong about the Nance trade.
I guess Kat can do whatever he wants. Lead with a forearm or take 5 steps. Bullshit
This is the first time Cleveland has come out strong in the first quarter in a long time..
Lol. Kat totally took four steps.
Dn. Goodwin Ballin out so far.
I know it’s pointless to complain, but I hate that they’re not calling games like they did the first third of the season. Wouldn’t have been a foul on JA there.
That shouldn’t have been a foul in any season.
Sure but never getting the benefit of the doubt anymore. Early season I thought they were doing a good job of playing on.
Allen totally vertical there and Kat led with the forearm. Bad call.
My favorite play so far: big stop, big Finnish from three by Lauri.
Goodwin great contest on Beverly
Gotta make it ugly. Gotta get physical with Kat
