Looking at the Cavaliers remaining announced schedule, tonight’s Timberwolves game should be the “easiest” game they have left. Then the schedule gets much stronger.

vs Timberwolves
vs Clippers
vs Bucks
vs Bucks
@ Suns
@ Nuggets
@ Blazers
@ Clippers
@ Warriors
vs Spurs
vs Thunder
vs Hawks
vs Rockets
@ 76ers
@ Rockets
vs Pacers

Honestly I might just want to start tanking if we lose again to the Timberwolves. And try to get more draft capital if we can find a way to trade Drummond and Love.

My biggest fear is a treadmill team like the Pistons have been for past Decade + when they were stuck in late lotto land or sweot in the 1st round. At least now it looks like they’re going to lock up a Top 5 Pick with Drummond and Wood gone.

I just assume try to be as good as possible with the new lottery odds. There have been enough bad habits learned by the young guys on the roster. Unless we really turn the corner when Love returns, I think we're a late lottery team either way.

I org had us at about 12 wins in the first 38 and then I felt maybe I would be good adding another 5 or 6 to that. Right now if the issues that have sprung up in past few continue I'd be content with 12.
On a side note I think if they are going to trade anyone tonight is the night...and guess what Dre is not suiting up

Can we try to get Windler a shot tonight?

I was thinking how nice it would be if the Cavaliers could finally get the lottery luck back. Then we can witness once again the meltdowns on the GB “The Lottery Is Rigged!”

The past 3 lottery picks for the Cavaliers were 8th, 5th, and 5th.

Even if you don't win the lottery, a lot of really good players have been selected late on the lottery.

True. Plus it’s supposed to be a stronger Draft than last years.

I really want to see Sexton take a couple of open threes in this half. He's too good of a shooter to abandon that part of his game.

Watching our guards continue to close out on Rubio is going to drive me nuts. HE DOESN'T WANT TO SHOOT! Does no one watch film.

The Timberwolves look awful without Towns.

How in the world did they win last night when both Drummond and Nance were playing?

Post #15 » by **jbk1234** » Tue Feb 2, 2021 2:04 am

Okay, good close. Now put this team down by 20 in the middle of the third and get them to raise the white flag.

We pushed everything into the middle when they had 4 defenders in there, over and over again. The result was 19 turnovers.

If Colin averages six three point attempts a game, he'll be an all star. They're dropping, he just needs to take them.

If Garland and Sexton can find one another for wide open looks at the three point line, this team has a completely different ceiling.
