WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Cleveland Cavaliers
WHAT: Ugh, is the preseason over yet?
WHERE: Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Ohio
WHEN: 7:00 p.m. CT
HOW: TXA21; NBATV
THE STORY: Well, Deron Williams is out maybe through the start of the season, Maurice Ndour is out indefinitely, and I'm not even going to rehash the rest of the well-treaded injury stories already plaguing the Mavericks. AND THE SEASON HASN'T EVEN STARTED! Cleveland has this guy named LeBron who I've heard is pretty good, but since I am lazy and don't feel like looking it up, not sure what their plan is for their starters as we get closer to the season. Whatever it is, I'm sure they have a healthier roster than the good guys do.
Please don't get hurt, Dirk. Let's go Mavs.
