On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 146-134 on Saturday afternoon. Danny begins the show by discussing how the Cavaliers played with a much higher intensity level on both ends of the floor in this game, even if the Wolves shot the basketball very well. Next, Danny dives into the offensive performance of Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland in this game, as all three played very well. Finally, Danny talks about the Cavs moving Sam Merrill into the starting lineup and the immediate dividends it paid.

Great job Cavs I wish you could be like this every day
Let's go cavs!!!!!!
The Cavs are not a Legitimate Championship Contender still after this win and it's because of how the roster is constructed and mainly Kenny and his inability to put the right players on the floor because the Cavs do have players that if put on the court with players that makes sense offensively around them and keeping the requisite Size around Darius and Donovan when both are not on the court with each other is important but why their not a Legitimate Championship Contender is Darius is still the Cavs second most important player and it's not close because Mobley still needs Darius and actually his game is reliant on if Darius and Donovan are having good games or are healthy and available the same for Allen his game is depends on how Darius and Donovan are playing so none of the Cavs tallest players in a League that's predicated on Height and Size are reliable possible number 2 scoring options consistently outside of Donovan and Darius "!
GREAT JOB CAVS…NOW let's ROLL!!! DG..looks like he's FINALLY ready…TIME to skyrocket up the standings!!!
DG was locked in, floater was perfect, and his movement was back to last year, that was the difference.
Offense was never the real problem. Outside of the 3 point shot selection and Evan Mobley/Allen lack of agression and physicality
Good win played good defense minny hit some tough shots
Dean needs to continue to be the starter even when the team is fully healthy. Max, Sam, tyson, porter, hunter if he can get going will be alot of pressure coming into the game off that bench
