This should be fun...Cavs vs Wolves

Post by FNG »

I'm guessing Target Center will be rocking tonight, unless the snowstorm puts a damper on the night. I don't know how to call this one, because we don't know if DLo is playing or not. Unlike most of the other opponents we have faced this year, Cleveland is relatively healthy...only Sexton is out, and frankly I'm not a big fan of his game.

I don't know if there is a longer team up front than the Cavs, with three 6'11" guys starting and Kevin Love getting big minutes off the bench. I don't know if many of you have watched the Cavs this year, but they are an interesting team. Garland and Allen have been very good, and it's fun to watch rookie Mobley at the top when they play their 3-2 zone (Bickerstaff admits he got the idea from how Flip would sometimes put KG at the top of the zone). It will be interesting to see how our guards react to all that length in their faces. Mobley is long and smart with quick feet. We know rookies don't often contribute in a positive way, but Mobley has been an exception to that rule this year.

Vegas has this as a pick 'em, and that's how I have it. A win would be very good, but it won't be easy tonight.

Dane Moore said DLo looked good in warmups, but still probably won't play. Line has only moved to Cavs - 1 1/2. Lots of compliments from Finch about what Bickerstaff has done with his team and how they move the ball...no bulletin board material ever from Finchy! This should be a good one tonight. I'm out of town with nothing to do tonigh, so I'm going to nerd out on the ESPN gamecast.

This team sucks. Trade Towns and Dlo and build around Ant.

I'm no longer unhappy I can't watch this game...it's painful enough on gamecast. My prediction for a close game hasn't aged well at all. How many alley oop dunks is the NBA record?

This is the definition of coming out flat.

Maybe this team should build around Dlo because the Wolves are pathetic when he does not play

Towns doesn't know how to play defense period!

It's baffling that this team's defense falls apart when D'Angelo Russell (not Gary Payton) is out.

The offense falls apart too. The Wolves are incredibly thin on actual shot creators.
