Live Thread: Cavs vs. Timberwolves

The Wolves roam into town tonight having won five of their last seven since the Jimmy Butler trade. Now there are only a couple of winning teams in that win column, but Cleveland can’t take them lightly. The Wolves are at full health, and Townes, especially, has been killing it lately.

Karl-Anthony is fresh off posting a 35/22/6 and +17 night against the Bulls, so TT and Larry are going to have their hands full. Of course, Wiggins put up an hilarious 0-12 line that game, once again proving how wrong I was on the Kevin Love trade. Robert Covington also went 1-18, which means they’ve probably been locked in a gym since Saturday.

Derrick Rose is still gunning for sixth man of the year, averaging close to 20 and five in 30 minutes a night, and ticking above that of late. Also rounding into form? Dario “Hitler Hairdo” Saric who has posted double figures in three of the last four games.

The Wolves are not to be taken lightly, and the Cavs will be without defensive Stalwart David Nwaba tonight, and I imagine Larry Nance will start in his place. Let’s see if the post-Hennessy Cavs can surprise another team tonight.
