Game 49: Cavs at Timberwolves 8:00 EST, NBALP FSO 

Post#1 » by King Stannis » Sat Jan 31, 2015 6:53 am

Kevin Love makes his highly anticipated return as the Cavaliers carry a nine-game winning streak into Minneapolis. Love has downplayed any notion that this is any different than other game but did admit he expects more boos than cheers and that it would be "weird" to be in the visitors locker-room. Love had yet another double-double against the Kings, scoring 23 points with 10 rebounds. LeBron James is expected to play.

Carried by NBA League Pass and Fox Sports Ohio.

Keys to the Game:

1. Continue playing great defense.
2. Share the ball.
3. Intensity.
4. Contain Wiggins.
5. Love for Love (feed him).

Honestly, this should be an easy win. But no lie, I hope Wiggins doesn't go off against us.

Wiggins had what had to be about his best game of the season in our first match up. That said we have more size and atheticism than we did then

We have way too many turovers and fouls. I also will never understand why we are so awful from the foul line

This team is just teasing people now. Just like that, they flip the switch and it is over.

They said on the broadcast we are only the third team this season to win all 4 games during a 4 in 5 night stretch. Pretty tough to do that even against a bad team.

The final score doesn't really do the game justice, but we were just too talented to lose this one.

Were coming for you Chicago.

Entertaining game (at least for the first 43 minutes). I don't think Love deserved the reception he got from fans but it is what it is. The Wiggins-Lebron duel was fun.

Ricky Rubio is just a beautiful man. Hard to focus on the game when he's on the sideline looking like that.
