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!
Jesus. Two consecutive three point airballs.
Oof. Dg pullup airball.
Okoro so great tonight. A ton of little plays that help u win
WOW WHAT A FINISH OKORO!!!!
Sigh. Dre double teamed. Pass that out.
This is a game we deserve to lose (based on play so far).
We need a real PG. Badly.
passing on Halliburton was a mistake IMO.
Dre’s TO’s on O have got to drive JB crazy.
Garland’s been worse.
Dre held on to the ball too long… turnover.
Dre with tunnel vision in the post
Uh oh. Edwards two straight treys….
15 FRIGGIN TO’S WTF
Dre gotta finish that. Minny heating up from three.
oh boy gotta feeling bad Dre is coming LMFAOOo
I know…. dreading it. Would like to see Sexton take over in these situations where the other team is making a run
Hopefully Minny doesn’t start making treys as a team
Their shooting regressing to the mean
awful defense Sexton up top.
DG bad shot.
Okoro the only Cavs starter to ATTEMPT a 3 in the first half (he made it).
Let that sink in.
Wolves perimeter D looks tight compared to matchups inside
Good break
OKORO TO DG TO DRE!!!
Slick passing
Davis foul machine against dre.
Can’t lose beasley. Sexton lost him on a screen.
Sexton smacked into that screen
terrible turnover DG… LMFAOOOo rage timeout
Good TO. Have to make it clear they need to clean up the slop. Hopefully that works.
JB pissed again. Garland’s been terrible.
nice finish Sexton, bad defense Sexton
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I did come to play. I came to DOM-I-NATE.
DID HE AND KYRIE GET ALONG OK —–DOES ANYONE GET ALONG WITH KYRIE
Does anyone really know kyrie? Wonder what he is like in real life. Is he as weird, eccentric, and aloof? Or is that an act for his public face?
As good as anyone as I recall
As I recall, KI and Shump were tight on those Cavs teams. Probably KI’s best friend on the team. Not surprised he signed with the Nets.
Shump back to the Nets!,
NEED TO PUT THIS TEAM AWAY —“FOOT ON THROAT ” RIGHT FROM THE START OF THE 3RD QTR —-WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALLEN GET MORE MIN’S ALSO
Dig that Hyundai “Dominate” ad
Sexton with 4 turnovers and 1 assist, DG with 2 turnovers 1 assist, Windler 2 turnovers, 0 assists.
13 to 3 total tovs in the first half is why they’re still in it.
PRINCE / WINDLER PRETTY MUCH NON EXISTENT 1ST HALF —NEED THEM TO SHOW UP IN THE 2ND HALF
Need to get the ball to shooters with space to shoot. Windler had zero shots and I don’t think he passed up any open opportunities. Prince with two shots, only one was a trey.
they’re fine, they were in with Dotson, who didn’t pass the ball.
Need to get the ball to shooters. Not passing the ball means they aren’t going to get many opportunities. Where I would like jb to call some plays more. When DG and Sexton are both out at the same time. Obviously dotson had a couple buckets but he was rough for about half that time.
Yeah, Dotson threw up 6 shots in 7 minutes, Prince and Windler just didn’t get shots LMFAOOO
He ain’t shy…
IF I AM JB I AM ” LIGHTING ” IN TO THE TEAM—-THIS GAME SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH IN HAND –WITH BETTER EFFORT / TAKING CARE OF THE BALL —-FEEDING THE GD POST WHO WERE 9/11 FG ATTEMPTS ——IT ISN’T ROCKET SURGERY
Beasley keeping them in it with shooting. Only guy shooting well from perimeter. We lost him a couple times in the first qtr. Last one was a good pump fake and shot.
Honestly FEELS like we should be down by 15…lol
Prince wedgie.
Lol
WOW WHAT A FINISH SEXTON!
oh man Prince…. LMFAOOOOO
Cavs should be killing this team.
yup… but we’ve only taken 5 3s out of 42 shots LMFAOOO… choosing slow death i guess
DG just going to have to start pulling up. Though that split where he got fouled on the three was a nice set action. Hope to see more stuff like that in the second half.
Prince wedgie
SO MUCH FOR THE ‘FOOT ON THE THROAT ” C’MON CAVS WTF
Sexton with an awful possession.
OMFG ANOTHER PASS HIT DRUMMOND IN THE HANDS AND HE CANT CATCH IT!
That one he definitely should have had. First one he tried to catch one handed or had his arm held. Not a good combo with him.
And then tried to do it again one handed same result. Guards probably should pull back. Gotta be real gentle on the pass if hes trying to hold someone off.
Like that little split by the guards where sexton cuts and dg curls around. New wrinkle
Junior like a wall,
HUMILIATION!!!
DG looks like he could be Gabrielle Union’s annoying little brother.
NICE CUT DG!!! yikes almost got rolled
Cavs shoot a three, good things happened.
only reason i’m not screaming about 4 3pt FGAs is we’re shooting 60% from the field LMFAO
Lots of good outlets tonight leading to a boatload of transition.
I guess three fouls was why Garland got put on the bench earlier.
yup i was wrong posted that earlier.
NEED PRINCE TO GET BACK IN HIS GROOVE AGAIN
I’m guessing inconsistency has been his bugaboo.
AGREE MIKEO ICE LOOKING ON HIS GAME TONIGHT —-MAYBE PLAYING AGAINST EDWARDS ADDS SOME MOTIVATION
Sweet break: ice to the youngbull.
THRE WE GO SIMMO —-” FOOT ON THROAT ” !!!!
Dre shoots ‘jumpers’ like normal people shoot on a Fisher-Price hoop.
LMFAOOO
GREAT PASS OKORO GREAT FINISH SEXTON!!!!
Sexton off to the races!!
Looked like he traveled, but I’ll take it lol
A little limber there, Dre!!!
WANT TO SEE MORE OF THE 3 YOUNGSTERS ATTACKING ON A FAST BREAK !!!
LMFAOOOO WOW ZONE BEATER CAVS!!!!
Okoro pretty sharp tonight.
starters pretty good overall, bench shaky.
Drummond with maybe his best finish as far as finesse on the season.
HEY DG ANOTHER DEFENSIVE PLAY!!!
Ha heat check shot put by dre. Let’s keep it near the rim.
Collin deadly on those floaters
THE ZONE IS WORKING!!!
great on ball defense DG on OKogie
SEXTON FINISH!!!
OK CAVS LET’S GET SOME SEPARATION —
No mercy. Foot on throat.
Wow the spin Okoro put on that.
Okoro with da English!!!
OH MY GOD WHAT A FINISH OKORO!!!!!!!
