Live Thread: Mavs @ Cavs

Good afternoon CtB!

The Cavs welcome what is left of the Dallas Mavericks to the banks of the Cuyahoga River as the good guys face off against the team that made global shockwaves over the past 12 hours as the Mavs have decided to dump off Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in what might be the biggest trade in NBA history. This will be the world’s first look at the post-Luka Mavs and they’ll get to face off against the best team in the NBA.

For the Cavs, the Luka trade is a massive distraction and could cause a letdown for a team lacking in professionalism. Luckily for us fans, the Cavs have rang the bell time and time again whenever a trap game has popped up. This Mavs game certainly qualifies given the double digit spread before tip. Can the Cavs demoralize the Mavs quickly and sharply and get to Jaylon Tyson point guard minutes? Stay tuned…

Tip off is scheduled for 3:30PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
