Live Thread: Cavs vs. Timberwolves
2018-11-26
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.
Kat ices it
DAMN…. Sexton bad TO, KAT hits a tough shot.
Sexton has been awful in crunch time.
Horrible decsion by Sexton on that contested 20 footer. Thankfully Nance and to clean it up
Suspect officiating… what else is new?
That was a garbage call too.
Wolves just flopping all over the floor now…
Why is sexton in?
NICE FINISH TT!!!
Tough shot by KAT
Can’t believe TT didn’t get a 3 second call with that…
Big bucket tt!
Thibs has that SVG angry disbelieving squint down cold…
Stupid tech from TT. Obvious foul on us.
WOW TAJ GIBSON PUSHED IN THE BACK!!!! BS CALL!
Gibson just shoved TT down then flopped his way into a loose ball call. TT gets a dumb tech.
Ball doesn’t stretch the truth…
So lucky on that towns miss
Damn… nice read Sexton, Korver got out of rhythm because of the nice close out.
Nice flop Taj…
He got hammered in the face on that o board. Not sure if that was what you were talking about
After he shoved TT to the ground…
Didn’t see that
Rare miss by KK…
TO out of a Timeout is annoying. 2nd or 3rd time tonight.
How do the other refs let that terrible call stand??
Jesus was a trash call in crunch time.
1 on 3 not a great decision to ignore a wide open kyle in the korner
His worst decision a night
First time I couldn’t push aside my frustration this game
Need some threes and some stops…
Hood sitting a long time, off night?
No…. they’re rolling with Korver while he’s hot.
But for Clarkson?
He has been good.
Agreed, Sorry I meant “night off”, thought maybe Drew is resting him. But yeah KK is firing so…
Damn Sexton
Sexton misses Korver.
great defense Sexton, but HUGE MISS SEXTON…. Korver wide open in the corner.
Arfh. Collin. At least he did a great job of chucking the roller the previous play.
Shoot the glass Young Bull…
SOFT TOUCH CLARKSON!!!!!!! HERE WE GO!!!
GREAT D
JC floater!
I’m not sure what’s more annoying… D Rose being awful with the Cavs or D Rose hitting everything he shoots against the Cavs…
Best thing abt kyle: dude is absolutely rolling from three then starts setting up his teammates.
Such a high bball iq on both ends
We should trade him to a contender but man he is such a great example for the young guys
Mr. Fourth Korver!
Back to six! Love the fight. If the breaks/calls even out, we can win it.
Just can’t afford more turnovers
Sexton with lost his man which leads to two open threes thankfully the wolves miss.

KORVER THREE!!! back to single digits
Clarkson with a terrible turnover
At least the Wolves are making dumb decisions though… like a pull up Dieng mid ranger in transition…
Ovwrdribblibg by jc
Dammit… another good pass Sexton… JC can’t hit the stand still 3.
Unfortunately, Nance has missed more putback dunks than he has made tonight…
2 missed dunks, the wedgie, and the Cedi call and we’d be up 2 or 3.
Nice pass Sexton, Korver just out of range.
Wolves too much depth for the Cavs lineup.
We win this game easy at full strength.
Rose is killing them. I dont kniw why Thibs is the only coach he plays for.
Our bench units really being outplayed by Minny’s tonight.
We only have 8 guys and Harrison is one. Frye & Zizic round out our 10 suited up.
True. Zizic has barely played. Nwaba being out hurts. Harrison is bad.
Total flop from Dieng…. Cavs letting that call affect them mentally it seems though.
Covington hasn’t had a shooting night like this in a while…
Terrible block charge, call. Terrible. But dumb decision by cedi.
Terrible charge call on Cedi.
D Rose revenge game…
Terrible call. Dieng with the most obvious slide while cedi in mid air
Missed Cedi threes painful right now…
He has made a couple.
The four he’s missed have been wide open though….
Make the easy pass, Cedi
TERRIBLE CALL!!!! THAT SHOULD BE A BASKET FOR CEDI!!!
GARBAGE CALL
