Game Thread 2020-21 Season | T-Wolves @ Cavs | February 1, 2021

[red.]

Now that was a good game!

Players need to stop passing up open looks. You’re open. Launch that bitch!

JA was wonderful. Five blocks!

DG 11 assist!

Sexton getting his fouls called!

 

[MirORich]

Allen was awesome tonight. The only caution I would present is that the T Wolves have almost zero interior size. Just like with all our other 4 years or less guys, there will be moments were we need to exhibit some patience with him.

Great first start though in very metric possible

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Guys what in the fuck.

He played Stevens to give them someone a little bigger who could switch and guard the 3.

They aren't gonna play Javale McGee when all they're trying to do is guard the 3 point line.

Lord Jesus.

Team-worst -18. By far. He killed the team every time he was out there.

 

[Rich]

Wow one bad game. Geez

????????????????????????????

You miss the last game? And the game before that?

In his last three games he's made FOUR. A combined 4 for 23.

 

[Kouki]

Drummond gets that same line all the time........

Just on 21 shots and with a few less blocks

And 1/3 of the rebounds are from his own missed shots.

Team-worst -18. By far. He killed the team every time he was out there.

It was for a single possession defensive sequence to stop 3 pointers at all costs.

You're simply wrong.

 

[Kiddo]

Wow one bad game. Geez

No kidding, he did have 9 rebounds 2 blocks and a couple huge free throws.

You're simply wrong.

The dude got 14 minutes too many. There was a reason he was buried on the bench. It's because he sucks scrota.

 

[redscoon]

Garland flashed at the end and made a couple of incredible shots in crunch time. I think he will get there. He’s got the talent.

Allen was a theft. Landing a likely cornerstone player as cheap as we acquired him is massive for a rebuild. He did tonight what we want Drummond to do. Rebound. Dunk. Defend. Know your role. He’s a great fit with what is building here.

Dude he was a throw in in the deal. He will not be around for long. Maybe no coffee after 5 for you

 

[Dr No]

He wanted someone bigger than Dotson.

And that should tell you what he's thinking about Cedi atm.

I knew what he was thinking, just couldn’t figure out “why?” The biggest risk in that situation was someone getting lost a giving up an open 3. And Stevens only has 1 or 2 inches on Dotson.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

That game was like shitting out a stale baguette: It was was way more difficult than it needed to be, it kind of stank, one was glad when it was just OVER, and it will take some time before one really feels clean again, what with all the crumbs.

I knew Jiggo would appreciate that one.

Jiggo appreciates the arcane.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Ugly win. The bench was awful. Stevens was a -18 in 14 minutes, but to be fair he hasn't played in a couple of weeks. McGee was scoreless. Windler is scoreless in the last two games covering 18 minutes of action. He has one rebound and one assist. The bench combined for 20 points and six assists in 61 minutes. Ugh.

With Drummond, Nance, and Love out the Wolves feasted on the offensive glass, grabbing 15 offensive boards. Allen didn't get much help. If he challenged the shot there was nobody to clean the glass.

Allen had a great game, putting up Andre Drummond numbers (23 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks) only with far fewer shots (7-for-9). He missed five free throws, though, which made the game closer than it needed to be in the end. Sexton had his usual 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 41 minutes with only 2 turnovers. Garland had 2 turnovers in 38 minutes along with 19 points and 11 assists. Very nice numbers.

The Cavs reduced their turnovers by six from last night, which was probably the difference in the game.

Prince got a chance to start and failed to impress, going 2-for-10, which was another factor in keeping the Wolves close. The Cavaliers only made 7 three-point shots but at least they held the Wolves to 11 after they got 16 last night, so the deficit was only 12 points instead of 36.

The Cavs held Beasley and Edwards to a combined 23 points in 64 minutes, a far cry from the 46 they scored last night. The improved defense was probably the biggest factor. Good win but we aren't going to get many with this bench. Need to get Dre, Nance, and Love healthy ASAP.

One feeling I got from this game was that offensive rebounds always turned into points, for the Wolves. For us, they turned into turnovers.

We each got 15 offensive rebounds. I don’t know the second-chance points numbers, but I remember at least a couple of sequences early in the game where we got multiple offensive rebounds on a possession, but still did not score.
