Game #30: Minnesota Timberwolves at Cleveland Cavaliers

[OptimusPrime]

Boobie Gibson out with the flu, per @PDcavsinsider. Cavs by 30 in this one. Jawad Williams with a triple double. Go.

 

[OptimusPrime]

Cavs up 28 to 17 after first quarter. Cavs shooting 52% to 28% for the Timberwolves. No wonder Love has such a high rebounding average.

least populated game thread ever? haha I like what i'm seeing from JJ so far

 

[OptimusPrime]

Well, the defense fell apart as usual. I really hope we can move Jamison. He is killing us on both ends of the floor. He is an awful defender, and he takes bad shots and slows down ball movement on offense. Time for him to go.

Cavs with 6 TOs in the 2nd quarter

doing a crap job of defending Beasely

our bench sucks

Ahhhh this team is so terrible. My favorite part of the game: JJ hickson dropping yet another pass, followed by him allowing Beasley to simply turn into the paint with his left hand and get to the rim, forcing a foul by JJ..all on the very next possession for Minny after JJs dropped pass.

I'm sure someone will tell me how that foul by JJ was a "good" foul, while overlook the fact that it was terrible, god awful, defense that forced the foul in the first place.

These are the games you have to lose if you want to pick 1-4 (potential star) and not 5-8 (potential good player).

If Anthony Paker keeps this up, the Cavs might actually be able to get a 2nd round pick for him...

Tell me he wouldn't be better than Keith Bogans for CHicago? Maybe a 2nd rd. pick AND James Johnson...

Let it be known that Hot Wad Williams has hit two necessary 3s tonight. For posterity's sake.

 

[kookoo]

I think Waddy is playing for his contract tonight.

 

[SOA]

parker and Jamison hitting big shots

sessions doing a good job of pushing and dishing

JJ still JJ

I would... but then I'd be lying.

 

[CPK]

I think what pisses me off so much about JJ is that he really could be good! He has great hops and if he would use his brain he could put himself in great position for boards and blocks; not to mention keeping close enough to the hoop to make moves for higher percentage shots.
