Live Thread: Cavs @ Mavs
2026-03-13Good evening CtB!
The Cavs have traversed to the banks of the Trinity River to take on the Dallas Mavericks in a primetime nationally televised showcase. The good guys are licking their wounds after two losses against some of the Eastern Conference’s elite and will be looking to right the ship. The Mavs are stealth tanking to the end of the season while getting Rookie of the Year candidate Cooper Flagg some first option reps. Let’s see if the Cavs can take care of business…
Tip off is scheduled for 7:30PM Eastern time and will broadcasted live nationally on Amazon Prime, go Cavs!

SARR / BRANAHAM SOLID AGAIN LAST NIGHT 25 pts / each 👍🏀💪
HEADED TO STATE RAOUL—-SEMI s THURSDAY EVENING
I have been trying to give an upvote for NOMAD’s team, and I keep getting “you cannot vote for your own comment”, which it is not.
I just tried to like this comment, but alas….
same, the + button appears to not be working
NATE YOU WOULD REALLY ENJOY THE HS ( STATE BOUND) TEAM s DEFENSE—- TOTALLY FRIGGIN LOCKING DOWN OPPONENTS—- OUR ROTATION s ARE TEXT BOOKS ———- “ AM LIVING THE HOOSIERS DREAM “ 👍🏀💪
Next few games are against bread loaves. Would be nice to see Allen and Merrill back but get why they don’t rush.
I’d give them a real long rest, until they need to get up to speed. I’d like to get Hardin a week off too.
WE JUST WON BOYS REGIONAL FINALS—— HEADED TO STATE BABY———-“ MORE FRIGGIN 🍺 BEER PLEASE “ 👍💪🏀👍💪🏀
MR STEAL— AGREED—- LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE STRUS TOMORROW—— A HEALTHY JA IS THE KEY !!!! —- IF HE IS HEALTHY—- FINALS ARE A POSSIBILITY!!!👍🏀💪
Wade and Ellis have been shooting great on a percentage basis. I’m wondering if teams will guard Ellis or leave him in the playoffs.
We’re not playing particularly well, but we’ve been finding ways to win. Core 4 plus Tyson/Merrill/Strus/Ellis/Wade is going to be a lot to deal with. Wish we had a chance for a signature win in the next 15.
I totally do not buy the theory of “signature win”, and never have. no point in wasting energy and possible new stuff on a game that means no more than any other. save it for the playoffs when you need it.
Great news on Strus.
5-5 in the tough ten was disappointing. Injuries a factor, but still should have won at OKC, at Det, and at Orl.
Catching Detroit ain’t happening. Still only 1 game (effectively 2) behind the Knicks.
Catching the Cs is gonna be tough. Will have to nearly win out to do it. Effectively down 4 in the L column.
I’d like at 14-2 close, min. 1-0 start.
I see the Cavs and Celts as the two best teams in the EC, so I would rather be at 4 than at 3 — put off playing the Celts. getting to 2 might be good — have home court against the Celts.
Love the Spida Carmax ad (at least in moderate doses).
About time our boy got some shine!
TOMLIN HAS OFF THE DRIBBLE JUICE!
MINUTES FOR MINNIX—-SHOOT IT YOUNG MAN 💪🏀👍——- FEEL GOOD GAME
WOULD LIKE FOR BOTH TO GET MiNUTES —— WANT TO SEE NYQUIL “ COME ALIVE “ AGAIN
Couple of buckets, including a dunk
Minute(s) for Enaruna or Minix this evening?
hope so!
Mission accomplished
WHO IN THE HELL IS THIS ROBINSON CHARGE PICKED UP 42 pts —-8/11 from 3 —— BRANAHAM/ SARR WITH 24 / each
mediocre college player, maybe he’s figured something out
LACK OF KILLER INSTINCT
ZERO DEFENSE IN THE 3RD QUARTER QUIT SLEEPWALKING
QUIT PLAYING TINY KENNY
Strus back Sunday
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
Looks like a much needed win. Good to see some offensive flow. Though certain players have to start hitting their free throws with more regularity…
Harden +21, he’s feeling comfortable in Texas
CLF — HAVE TO STAY 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
CAVS STILL LACKING THAT KILLER INSTINCT—-GOT A TEAM DOWN—- KEEP THEM THERE
HATE TO SAY IT BUT WE ARE PLAYING OFFENSIVELY 4ON 5 RECENTLY WITH WADE IN THERE—— HIS OFFENSE HAS BECOME OFFENSIVE
He hasn’t figured out how to play with Harden, but he and Mitchell are indispensable to Cavs’ success
CLF NOMAD đź’Şđź’Şđź’Şđź’Şđź’Şđź’Şđź’Ş
Donovan!!!
Plus a Tomlin sighting
kenny got the memo (for now) to play bigger lineups
I’m sick of watching Tyson at the 4, and Schroder jack dumb shots
even more sick of Amazon Prime games, #BezosForPrison
Evan!!!
looking aggressive as he was before the injury
BRANAHAM HAVING ANOTHER SOLID GAME/ CHARGE—- WHEN IS STRUS GOING TO PLAY FOR THEM
OK LETS TAKE STOCK OF THE SITUATION—— REHABBING KNEE SURGERY AT HOME—- HAVE LOST POWER ALL DAY ——MISSED OUR GIRL s STATE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME/ BUCKEYES GAME AND NOW THE CAVS GAME————-POSITIVE IS THE BEER 🍺 IS COLD ——— DAMN CANT EVEN HAVE A BEER ( on high narcotics pain meds ) ——- DAMN LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST ———- DONT PISS ME OFF CAVS !!!!!!
HAHAHA STAY STRONG NOMAD!!
