Looks like Williams ain't an option.

Clips with their dumb sideways moves.

You push the button. You push it once. You push it hard.

Not that I'm jilted and badly wanted Lou or anything...  :-X

Moves like this might give us the 15th pick next year.  Half-full glasses and such.

Yeah, if they keep Jordan and can ever get Gallo healthy, they look like a 7th or 8th seed out West which could mean a really nice 15-17 pick. Really nice chip to use in a big trade.

You would think with as much talk as there is about the Cavs struggles right now that they would actually try to play defense. Nope, it's just as porous as ever to start this Minny game.

TWolves playing nearly as bad defensively as the Cavs.

There is simply no defense being played in this game right now. While the offense is fluid on both sides, neither team is playing a lick of D. They both seem like first round fodder if they can't better their defensive efforts and schemes.

To highlight how bad this D is, Cleveland is shooting 65% from the field and 64% from three, yet they're only up by four late in the third quarter. Minny has virtually the same offensive stats. Just no defense whatsoever.

Jeff Green looks like he's been juicing.

Wow, nice contest by Minny on the Steroid King's 3... not.

They are a DUMB team.

Game's got like 10 All-Stars (current and former) so maybe they're just getting in the spirit.

At least Butler's trash shot (with a blown chance to go 2 for 1) was followed up by James' trash shot.

Come on Minny - I am too invested in watching Cleveland totally lose!

Jimmy Butler is playing out of his mind tonight.  Ad he's one of the few SF's who can go toe-to-toe with Lebron.

Butler has been insane this game, especially down the stretch.

This game getting intense. LeBron and Wolves exchanging shots after shots.

Lol that BBIQ (lack of) by Smith there. Took two dribbles before thinking about the TO. Now they're inbounding from way in the backcourt.
