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

WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
Few more stops and scores… gotta keep pushing
Getting chippy. I like it. Grind DAWGS
what is going on/??? LMFAOOO
So loud they couldn’t hear the whistle.
Lol @ bronze turd
Five point swing.
Love just lost PBev , no one picked him up. Easy 3
GREAT DEFENSE AND HUSTLE
DLo complaining about that call is a little bit on the nose.
Let’s gooooo!
LETS GOOOOO CAVS!!!!!!! GREAT PASS LOVE!!! GREAT PUSH CEDI!
Mouse in the house!
Four point game
Use A. Challenge.
Cavs in bonus!
Russell is the new golden turd
Bronze wolfie poo
Hahahaha
Silver wolfshit
Okoro needs to get his head in the game.
Helluva second half from KLove
3 possesions wasted back to back… sigh
Two bad turnovers in a row
just a smidge off on both passes, i liked the ideas, just poor execution.
Russelol
Wtf Lauri
That was Goodwin. First real mistake.
Good foul!
Crowd stepping up for two missed FTs!!! Then a Love TREYYYY
BALL DONT LIE
MOBLEY WAS VERTICAL REF!
No. He jumped into him. Good call.
You don’t challenge cause best u get is jump ball.
Let’s go!!!!
GOODWIN DOWN EUCLID!
Ref gave Beaz the side eye.
CEDI TO MOBLEY!!! SPAIN PICK AND ROLL!!!
Beasley is a punk.
Unreal it’s back to ten.
Finally refs calling a few things in the Cavs favor
Man Lauri get it to a guard
MOBLEY FOR THREE! SHOOT IT YOUNG MAN!
Tower City needs to take over defensively, Cavs haven’t played a stitch of defense all game.
Ice needs to man up too on the perimeter, gotten clowned all game.
Some positive momentum but still a ton of ground to cover
13 isn’t insurmountable but…..
The good thing is the Wolves’ bench killed em first half.Then Minny got passive at the end of the third and the Cavs hit back hard. So much of the dog days of the NBA season is about sustaining energy.
Wow. This is a heck of a run.
7 3’s in this quarter, its like they are hitting everything man
Cedi Moved his hips instead of his feet
CEDI THE JEDI LETS GOOO
Beasley shivs a three.
We’ve been out of the flow since the refs went on an 11-0 run in the 2nd

This crew is insane …to be honest I’d be shocked if they weren’t getting paid to give this game to the wolves or at least cover the spread…
MOBLEY BLOCK KLOVE HUSTLE!
i hate PatBev but can’t deny he’s bringing a ton of leadership to the Minny equation.
Get it to 10 by the 4th
thats right
Kat leads with his forearm every drive is an offensive foul clinic.
Some life!
GO CAVS BABYYY MAKE A RUN RIGHT HERE!
Mcdaniels shooting 29% from 3 on the year. 5/7 tonight
LMFAO scrub fuego of the night!
He’s been on fire since all star break, to be fair.
Haven’t watched the Wolves at all this season but Edwards definitely has put on some muscle since last year
i think he just got a lot better on the mental side, he was a freak athlete from the jump IMO
Oh wow what happened here??
A dearth of point guards. Cavs are simply without anyone that can run the offense
This got real dumb
Game over. Goodwin’s carriage just turned into a pumpkin. You can’t win in the NBA with guards that weren’t even in the g league
Cedi gave up on that play.So did Mobley.
Welp since I signed on, Cavs have sucked. I’ll log off and see if that helps. 🤔
Things are not going well.
When it rains it pours…
They just foul every time and dare the refs to call it.
I thought that rip through was done
Wow. That looked like Isaiah Rider.
Cavs in bonus rest of way.
The way we shoot FT that’s probably bad news
Rare Stevens sighting.
Good to see STEVENS getting some minutes
Immediate impact
JB pairing him with Okoro, that’s new, not sure we have seen this Mobley-Allen-Cedi-Okoro-Stevens lineup before
OMG a Lamar Stevens sighting, he lives!
Big bucket
Bad feels about this one
Argh forgot PBev was with the Wolves. Ugh.
they just signed him for $13 million next year, yikes
