Game Thread | Game #44 | Cavs @ Timberwolves | Jan. 14, 2023

[Real Deal]

The Wolves played last night..we should be tiring them out.

You'd think, something about the last road game of a long trip and first home game back.

Getting done in by the scrubs minus Rudy and KAT is alarming though. They have to figure this road thing out, they've been talking about it most of the year.

Losing to these scrubs smh.

For the people saying Mobley is injured. He’s been getting layup drills ran on him all year

 

[bleedwineandgold03]

Mobley was incredibly weak this game. Maybe shouldnt have returned when he went down with an injury.

Yup soon he came in with love lead went to shit

 

[Nphan]

JBB let them hang around so we lose. This team ain't going far with him as coach.

 

[Tlyons]

That ball going off Mobley feet is inexcusable. You’ve got to get on the floor.

Mobley is run ragged on defense for this team.

Playoffs? Sure, dive all over the place. Regular season in Minnesota in a game where Evan already banged his knee, no.

 

[eChameleon]

Better get some players who don't play down to their opponents at the trade deadline.

OK. we just gonna ignore his great defensive games.

 

[2 For The Brew]

You can’t really blame JBB much here. It’s the last game of our 5 game road trip. Donovan fighting through an illness and trying his best to play but he looks gassed out easily. The legs are not there for him tonight.

It’s similar to the Phoenix game except we’re on the other side. We put in our bench and dominated Phoenix’s exhausted starters in the 4th and won. This time Minnesota bench had energy against our tired starters. It happens.

I would have had Okoro and not much Love/Mobley but a 5 game road trip is tough especially the last one.

Unfortunately too many people can’t resist kicking the team when it’s tired and down.

We usually win fourth quarters with team defense and clutch shooting but we just don’t have energy / health tonight.

No reason to panic or freak out. Long season, games like this happen.

 

[Real Deal]

JBB reached for that challenge himself. But whatever with tonight. Disaster game, and we even dodged a disaster.

 

[pinoycavsfan]

Yup soon he came in with love lead went to shit

If love is not bombing from three, he is a liability.

 

[Dr. Claw]

Why was Okoro being handled like he was Rubio who is on minutes restriction?
The Cavs desperately need someone other than Love to go to as a reserve forward.
Losing to this team 2x in a season with no Booty Gobert, no KAT? Unforgivable.

 

[2 For The Brew]

This team is soft. Punch them or their teammates in the mouth and they cower. Starts with the coach.

Cheap shot. Also untrue.

Yeah I thought with Rudy out, they would just attack them and it didn't happen.

 

[ice cream man]

Cedi with more minutes than Okoro tonight. That’s a head scratcher.

Yeah Mitchell is sick but barely cracking 100 points ain’t gonna cut it. Garland didn’t really step up. He needs to be an elite scorer to make up for his poor defense. He wasn’t tonight.
