Live Thread: Cavs vs Timberwolves
2024-03-08Happy Friday, Cavs fans. Cleveland will be without Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, and TY Jerome. Somehow (even though sports gambling is a scourge) the Cavs are 2.5 point favorites, mainly because the Wolves are on a back-to-back amd Anthony Edwards is a game time decisions, and Karl Anthony-Towns tore his meniscus in the last week. Monte Morris is also out and Jordan Mclaughlin is also questionable. Meanwhile…
I hate this lineup. Let’s hope Damian Jones has his warmups on. Oh. And this just in, ANT is playing. Go Cavs.
Shut him down
Going to overtime, BET
Rather get a good look with the game on the line with 2-5 seconds left than what DG did
Cavs really outthunk themselves there
Just horrible last 2nd offense since we had the 4 pt lead.
Thats why we have this max contract point guard to generate us some solid offense in tight situations.
Told ya gonna be Wolves anti-clutch vs Garland anti-clutch
SMH
Gah. Gobert out of the game so naturally they play for the deep 3 off the dribble.
With no attempt to drive the lane even though Gobert is gone.
Anti clutch activated.
Makes sense…Gobert clown off the floor, shoot a step back three instead of going to the rim
Impeccable logic.
Gotta start that earlier damn
Horrible offense just holding the ball .. another bad look.
What an awfully designed possession.
Garland….I just ….. ugh.
He is approaching Sexton level un-clitch.
It was not a a smart possession.
Prediction: Garland tries a too-hard pass to Allen for the turnover
Worse.
Not. At least not a live ball TO.
But only because Garland got his rebound… it was almos ta block into a fast break
Yeah. Sucks but good defense by Reid
Well… I guess the result was the same
The Gobert clown fouling out may be addition by subtraction for the Wolves
What did Gilbert get the tech for?
Money sign towards the refs.
That’s nuts. That was truly an insane decision by Rudy
Making $$ signs indicating the refs are on the take and fixing the game
Wow. Rudy given out free points!?
Rudy gonna Rudy.
Blowing such a winnable game.
Suck it Gobert!!
Sigh.
DG needs to shoot that 3 with 3 seconds on the clock, not pass it off to Levert to shoot with 1 second left
Exactly.. bad offense these last possessions.
Three offensive boards in one possession hurt. Ended in a triple.
Awful offense.
Allen slam!
Allen!!!!!!
Get a fucking rebound
Conley misses, bullet dodged.
Reid to the rescue. Agh.
Free throws aren’t free tonight.
tf is garland doing standing there and burning time and then just jacking a 3
Really good D
Keep this up, they might just sneak the win.
Hopefully our good D + Wolves poor clutch execution + Wolves on the back2back can help us squeak by
That was tremendous d by Wade
Allen gotta kick that.
Great job by Wade still managing to contest Ant (after a great fake) and not foul
Cmon boys… hold… hooollldddd
Damn it Georges
Wow niang just pass the ball in that situation
Niang fucked it up by running the lane instead of trailing. Blocked Caris’ pass to the corner.
Jesus they fucked up a 3 on 1
Damn, 3 options in a 3-on-1 and you choose Niang?
Lol. Yup. Smdh.
Looks like DG is playing well but 6 TO’s WOOF!
If you want him aggressive you live with it. Minny has been super good on getting deflections
Great finish J A
Slomo
Seems like almost everything JA shoots lately rolls off the rim.
That’s a huge call
Gobert is a complete clown of a player. Absolute least favorite player to watch in the NBA
Yuo, he’s a tool alright.
Not much of a basketball move from Gobert
Think the windup is a flagrant
Gobert can be discussed in the same sentence with Damian Jones if you’re only talking about the offensive end of the court.
That’s a flagrant (after the first uncalled hook)
Rudy Dozert
Put that drop coverage in a body bag!
DG the fuckin PG!!!!
DG! Allen with the and1!
There JA coming through for you.
Fuck yeahbSam
Sam I am!
This game is so grindy
Have that sinking feeling.
No this is a good style for us
I hate these ESPN only games. I’m unable to watch the rest of the game.
DG cookin with some english!!
Noice finish dg
Five point swing by Sam god damn it
Merrill bad miss from the paint.
All right this is gettable.
Wade -22, Jones -12, Merrill -10. Feels like it though Wade is doing great defensively
Hope we get to find out who’s worse in the clutch; the Wolves or Garland. Gonna be close
Coach Joey Triviani is not impressed by that call.
Lmaoooooo
Crowd a little quiet. Everyone waiting for something to happen.
Just weird vibes
God damn it. Need something from Sam and JA on offense
I feel like you and I are watching a different game.
JA 2-11, Sam giving nothing
He literally scored two free throws as you were typing this.
He had three good possessions to draw FTs after I posted that but he and Rudy are really off
This feels like a game from 2007
Caris playing like Kobe on the block.
