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!
God damnit Andre!!! Pass to a f$&@“& guard!
Drummond 7-15 FGs….. right on schedule.
so sick of watching Drummond on offfense. JB can kick rocks with this shit.
Jesus. This is a terrible game.
Game
Drummond a black hole
WOW, Prince wide open 3… brick.
bad Drummond.
They are constantly going under screens on the p n’ r but our guards still won’t shoot
This team can’t get Kevin Love back fast enough
Cavs really have to work on getting decent looks from 3…
They need Allen to sub in!
Yeah. That’s been my drum beat. They ran a nice little split earlier to get garland a wide open trey off ball. Would like to see some more actions like that every possession.
DG 9 shots, 1 3pt attempt, unacceptable.
Nance 0 3 pt attempts, unacceptable.
Sexton 15 shots, 0 3pt attempts, unacceptable.
And we’ve taken a grand total of 12 three point shots. Guess guys better start pulling up.
That stretch reminded me of when my 6 year old brothers used to play 2K.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO perfect description.
Lord this team looks bad, can’t pass, doesn’t shoot 3s, poor decisions with the ball
Nance gotta wake up
Terrible take DG, 5 point swing off his bad shot.
This game is hideous.
embarrassing for both teams.
So is Russell’s haircut – he honestly looks like a lamb
Lol what is going on for both teams these past few possessions
Lots of slop.
Soooo sloppy!!!
Jeez what an uggo
Drummond had Cedi on the kickout and threw up some bullshit
Luckily Rubio threw up some BS right after that
Great hustle, cedi. This game is ugly
dammit great pass Drummond, Nance can’t finish.
Collin getting a too mid-range happy. Really hasn’t looked for his 3 pt shot of late
God, Sexton’s reads are so late. Had prince on left wing forever and only passed when he got in trouble.
lazy shot Sexton but great defense Prince!!!!
Messy few minutes
Slop.
WOW… ugly transition possession.
ALLEN BLOCK!,,
ALLEN WHAT A BLOCK!
bad shot Sexton, 3 was open.
Great save by allen after getting backdoored.
Then a great contest on the dunk
Not getting it done at the offensive end, and wolves don’t fear Cavs D. Not looking good.
Like this lineup to start the 4th: Sexton, Cedi, Prince, Nance, and Allen
Sexton feasting on the midrange, and the Wolves perfectly fine with it LMFAOOO

Yeah this game rough. Would be nice to get him some trey looks in the halfcourt, but I don’t think that is the way we’re going tonight.
GREAT TAKE ALLEN!!!
Awful tov by sexton.
16 turnovers and some defensive lapses keeping the Wolves in the game.
And threes.
DG BLOW BY!!!! WHERE’S THE FOUL CALL REF????????
GARLAND ANOTHER CHARGE DRAWN!!!!!
Cavs overhelping on D is their worst defensive problem.
FINALLY !!! DG WENT UP STRONG!
terrible turnover DG, 4 point swing.
Allen looked like he went straight up.
Yes
Arms not quite vertical. That’s a tough call to get.
Windler’s D is bad from everything I’ve seen so far.
100% agree… rough tonight
right on cue, couldn’t stay in front of the perimeter player.
another nice drive and kick DG, Prince passed up an open 3 IMO but got the foul.
Allen can win this game for the Cavs. Will JB let him?
GREAT DEFENSE CEDI!!!!

DG POCKET PASS ALLEN FINISH!!!!! GREAT HANDS ALLEN!
TP!,
DG misses cedi on perimeter and then misses pullup midrange.
THERE WE GO!!!!! DG DRIVE AND KICK PRINCE FOR THREE!
Ha prince was like I’m taking this no matter what. Drilled it in the guy’s face who was closing out.
rather that than his OTD midrange!!!
I’m fine with it. Was not the easiest shot against the closeout but if he has confidence it it, shoot away.
Jesus, Windler. Close. Out the damned shooter.
So Garland has been terrible on O, but his defense has actually be decent. Weird game.
except for the fouling.
Fair.
The gameplan of pounding the paint is working… just have to take care of the freaking ball. 16 TOs versus 4 for the Wolves.
TOs: 16-4 Cavs. Yuck.
This game has me dreaming of Cade Cunningham.
.
Cedi with the lifesaving 3
Huge cedi trey
DG NICE DRIVE AND KICK DO MORE OF THAT!!!
DG STEAL AND ASSIST!!!!!!!!
Feels like momentum is sliding to the Wolves
Finally a three
Smooth quick release by the JEDI
OH MY GOD DG JUST BLEW AN EASY LAYUP
Brother, if they play like this against the Bucks or Clippers they’ll lose by 50…
8 tovs between the guards and darn near everyone else has at least 1.
Put Dotson in
Garland is awful tonight.
Got his +/- ? Must be dire
+1 and Nate’s exaggerating IMO LMFAO
Well he’s had some bad stretches at least
the turnovers are awful… and blowing the easy layup was too.
It’s actually +1…but he hasn’t been good…
We should call Yogi up again.
Pump thy brakes!!
WOW…. ugly offense from Sexton…. when is Nance gonna touch the ball????
