Live Thread: Cavs vs. Wolves (#HungryLikeTheWolves)
2018-02-07
If there’s one thing the Cavs are not these days… it’s hungry. At least they don’t act that way. Well, the young and very hungry TimberWolves are waiting for them tonight at the Q… looking to devour what’s left of the reigning Eastern Conference champs after they got gunned down by the Magic in Orlando last night. The last time the two teams met, Minnesota crushed the Cavs 127-99 on January 8th at the Target Center, and things haven’t really improved for the wine & gold since. Cleveland is also 0-8 on nationally televised games since Christmas… and of course, this game is the featured one on ESPN (so much for LeBron suggestion).
I’d like to believe that the Cavs will be competitive, especially since they still own a 19-7 home record. But, my instincts tell me they’re once again going to be lambs for the slaughter. Who knows, with any luck this will be the last time we see a few of these guys in a Cavs uniform with the trade deadline looming.
Prediction: The young Wolves make a meal out of LeBron, IT and co… leading the pack to a 124-109 feeding frenzy.
There’s always hope that tomorrow will bring at least some new faces to root for, and allow us to say goodbye (and good riddance) to a few others.
JR, TT, & IT were good to decent to passable tonight.

Cedi has to play. Take minutes from JR (who was good tonight) & Crowder.
Hey Mike Podracky, your judgement on game attendance is sound. Must have felt good.
Crowd was pumped tonight. James winner reminded me of his shot against Orlando in 2009. Whether the game was 50-49 or 140-138…..man was this win needed. Sure glad I went. Several fans has Free Cedi sings in our section.
You saw a HELL of a game Mike!
Never been happier to be wrong on a prediction!

64-63 Buckeyes!!!! 2.8 seconds left!
I am often critical of James. He was off the charts tonight.
I have no doubt LeBron can turn it on for the playoffs. I hope enough other guys can too. Got to get minutes for Cedi.
Jesus we needed that.
Hopefully it’s a spark.
Cedi was crucial. Hoping Lue plays him more.
Duck Fans for everyone!

we needed that. Cedi should play 30 min a night. LeBron still on a different level from everyone else
Cedi needs to freaking play…you are playing chumps like Rose over him?
I missed the start. Why was Holland active? Shump news?
Wade out;
Shump was part of the Anthony Davis trade…ho hum…
Shump out. Needed the body.
The King is not dead. Long live the King.
63-62 Bucks, one minute left!!
Sorry, 63-62 PURDUE, but Bucks have last shot…16 minutes left…
CEDI AND LBJ WITH THE STOP!!! LBJ WITH THE FINISH!!!

GAH. JR has to just grab that and call timeout.
Brain cramp by JR not calling TO right away
8. Either way, Gilbert is said to be enraged. He’s not taking the team’s issues lightly. Just the opposite. The Cavs (30-22) have been the league’s biggest dumpster fire since Jan. 1, and it’s not even close.Ow, great D by Cedi and Lebron…
Doh, no idea where that came from!
BLOCKED!!!!!!!!
AWESOME SWAT.
Here we go…
Take the hoop. The clock mgmt was not so good.
Can they get a stop here…

I totally would’ve avoided the timeout there to keep Ike on the floor if I was Thibs.
Well… Minny can milk it until the end now… gotta play D
LOL Thomas at the top of the Key doing his best Dion Waiters impersonation.
IT with his arms up like Dion…
Bad TT D there. He just isn’t very smart.
low bbiq
bron is always yelling at him for bad positioning
shouldnt korver be out there instead of jr?
That was a good pass by IT… JR just missed it
Shoulda swung to Korver.
JR shoulda swung it to kyle. Dang.
IT back in for Cedi on offense…
Nice play Wiggins.
https://twitter.com/cavs/status/961442803732529152
And the play started with Cedi’s good contest
Easy to forget about Wiggins with Butler out there…
Cedi is one of the Cavs 6 best players, right now…no excuse he’s not playing…
No matter what happens, Cedi is showing that he should be out there for 20 minutes every night.
LeBron with another triple double…
Cedi with a fat lip… bleeding… JEDIS FEEL NO PAIN!
Good look JR. Just a little off.
NBA Record for combined threes! 40!
58-57 Purdue…!!!
WHEW.
LETHREE!!
Hope the game keeps going with no whistles so Cedi stays in
I would lock Cedi onto Butler…
Look for your shot JR!
Dang. Good shot, Cedi.
GUARD BUTLER!
