Good evening CtB!
The Cavs are welcoming NBA Champion Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets to the frozen shores of Lake Erie for a massive, nationally televised Eastern Conference clash and current battle over the three seed in the playoffs. There’s probably no hotter team in the NBA than the Nets, it would be a massive feather in the cap for this young Cavs team to take down one of their prime adversaries in pursuit of an NBA championship.
The Nets will be missing Seth Curry and former Cav “Smokin’ Joe” Harris, while the Cavs will still be missing Dean Wade. This game will feature a top five offense (Nets) matching up against the best defense in basketball (Cavs). The Nets move the ball extremely well, the Cavs will have to be locked in and make the extra effort on defense. Conversely, the Nets are the worst rebounding team in the NBA, the Cavs need to punish this tiny team with their big boys. If there’s not a concerted effort to get Tower City going, they won’t have a chance to win.
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live and nationally on NBATV, and locally on Bally Sports Ohio/Great Lakes, Go Cavs!
