The Max Difference Between Mavs' Wes Matthews and The Cavs’ Big Three ... because there are different kinds of "maxes.''
The Cleveland Cavaliers have three players that are more dangerous and liable to take over a basketball game than anyone on the Mavericks’ roster (perhaps with the exception of nights when Dirk Nowitzki refuses to adhere to the reality that he is 37 years old). For that reason, the Cavs -- 7:30 p.m. Tuesday visitors to the AAC -- can’t afford a player like Wes Matthews, and like most teams in the NBA, are trying to create a makeshift version of his impact with a number of lesser players.
