The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Minneapolis this weekend for their season's lone road appearance against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Naturally, the game's dominant story line is the return of Kevin Love to his former team.
Cavs' JR Smith Explains His Improved Game
However, it seems like the Timberwolves themselves feel otherwise.
The team released a video to their official YouTube channel on Thursday, pointedly titled "#TheReturn." As is the case with most NBA hype videos, the music is propulsive and the editing top notch. The written narration describes Saturday's match-up as "The Game We've Been Waiting For," and rattles off the names of LeBron, Kyrie Irving, and a host of other Cavaliars in short succession.
All except one, that is.
David Blatt Questions Kevin Love's Contract
In an inspired (and pretty ballsy) twist, the ad turns out to not be teasing #TheReturn of Kevin Love, who played six seasons and made three All Star teams with the club, but rather the #TheReturn of Mike Miller, who played one forgettable season there in 2008-09. Oh, SNAP.
Granted, Love didn't leave Minnesota in the most amicable of circumstances last summer; he pretty much forced his way out. Still, that's some serious shade.
The omission stings, but Love can take solace in the fact that his ex-squad is 8-37 and in the basement of the NBA, while his Cavs are 27-20 and in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.
