Cavs vs Wolves

Niko23 · Post #1 » by **Niko23** » Mon Nov 4, 2013 4:13 pm

First time I have ever started a game thread and it wont be fancy. My keys to the game:

1. Scoring - apparently we are last in the league. If we score under 90 we lose
2. SF position - No reason to keep Earl in for long stretches. Need more Gee and Miles
3. Contain KLove - I have Tristan keeping him around 22 points tonight
4. Dion needs to torch Kevin Martin - Dion goes for over 20 tonight
5. Anthony Bennett - Time to wake the rookie up. Look for Brown to get him involved early.

Prediction: Cavs win 95-87

Minnesota's frontcourt should be enough to overpower the Kyries. As long as Waiters and TT are held in check, it won't matter what Irving does. Too much firepower from the Wolves, and lack of scoring threats outside of Kyrie and TT make it look like the Wolves move to 4-0.

Cavs 5th in the NBA in Defense. Last in offense. Typical Mike Brown lol

It'll be a tough game to win. Containing love is key, both on the boards and his scoring.

I really don't see a win tonight..
Bold prediction for the night: Bennett scores 10+ points.

A ray of hope for you: Wolves key players (minus Kevin Martin) played too many minutes (over 40) last night in NY.

Was going to say that we are catching them on a back to back. But Adleman will have them ready

Would be a great night to get Bynum some more burn. If we can put Andy on KLove I think we match up very well across the board. Basing that IMO that Varejao is much more apt to guard him than my boy TT. Should be a really fun game to watch.

I gave away 12 tickets to the game tonight. 5 years ago I would have been there with 11 of my buddies drinking the night away. Man, it's tough getting old. I cant imagine what it will be like when I get to be TheOutlaw's age.

Bynum will be getting a couple of stretches of minutes tonight. Slowly but surely he is coming along.

Have to try and keep the wolves under 27 this quarter.

Started well offensively so far. Balls moving well, kyrie still can't buy a bucket.

Would sure be nice if Kyrie chose this game to snap out of it.

Kyrie's eyes are lighting up seeing Rubio guarding him. All in all the offense looks real solid against the TWolves who dont look like their playing any defense.
