Live Thread: Cavs vs Mavericks
2026-03-15Today, on the Ides of March, Max Strus returns to the lineup! Six months after Jones Fracture surgery, Max is slated to play this afternoon, covering for a bevy of Cavaliers who are out, including Jaylon Tyson, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, Craig Porter Jr., and Tyrese Proctor. Meanwhile the Mavs will be without Klay Thompson and Daniel Gafford. (Kyrie and Derrick Lovely are already out for the year.) Expect Mobley to dominate inside and Spida to try to put it away early. Just hope Cleveland doesn’t play down to their competition.
NOT SURE THE 4th SPOT IS A LOCK
IT IS WHO THEY ARE LOSING TO AND HOW THEY ARE LOSING THAT LEAVES ME WITH NO CONFIDENCE FOR THIS POST SEASON——- WITH WHO THE MAVS PUT OUT TODAY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A “ NO CONTEST “ GAME——-AGAIN MAGIC/ HEAT COMING INTO PLAYOFFS LIKE GANGBUSTERS ——- WE ARE “‘HO – HUMMING ALONG “——- GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER GUYS——- IT IS PUT UP OR SHUT UP TIME——- NO MORE FRIGGIN EXCUSES 🤬🤬
I am OUT in this team contending.
WAY TO RUIN STRUS s FANTASTIC “ COMING BACK PARTY “
That’s a bright spot. What a great return!
led the team in +/-, with a 0
MR STEAL— POSTED “ BUCKS / BULL s / PELs WINNABLE—— AFTER THIS PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE MAVS—— DONT SEE IT HAPPENING—- WE ARE GOING TO “ LIMP “ INTO THE PLAYOFFS——-/ MAGIC / HEAT COMING STRONG—— JUST DONT LIKE WHERE THIS TEAMS MINDSET IS AT
TOTALLY DISHEARTENING/ FRUSTRATING—— AGREED JASON “ CHARMIN CAVS “. — HAVE HAD 2-3 SEASONS/ DIFFERENT COACHES/ PLAYERS TO “ TOUGHEN “ UP 🤬
DIFFICULT TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS TEAM / COACHES SO CLOSE TO PLAY OFF s AND LAY AND EGG LIKE TODAY 🤮
I have to agree. Why were we not ready to play today? Sure, use the Sunday afternoon excuse if you want to.
maybe because they will likely finish 4th no matter what they do?
Didn’t see a lot of pick and roll with Mobley today. I’m not sure why they didn’t do that.
Welcome back, Max 😢
Not sure I see the Cavs winning this one. They should, though.
I mean unless they are trying to stay nestled in the #4 spot. Seems too early for that.
We have more than enough to win this game and are down 12 at home.
Charmin Cavaliers.
WELL THIS SUCKS
Let’s see if Cleveland wakes up for the second half
Sam, Allen, Tyson generally day to day…being “careful with soft tissue” sez Kenny.
Next 3 are Bucks, Bulls, Pels. Winnable
Bryant!
Mad Max!
Sunday afternoon Cavs… 😔
STRUS IS LOOSE — FINALLY—- PUT THEM AWAY EARLY—- GIMME SOME NYQUIL TIME——- WHAT IS GOING ON WITH SAM ??? —— GO CAVS 👍🏀💪
