Cavaliers go back to drawing board with Thompson in starting unit

INDEPENDENCE, OHIO– The Cavaliers are hoping a new version of their old formula will get the team back on track during their current month-long rough patch.

After remaining adamant throughout the last month that there would not be any lineup changes, head coach Tyronn Lue announced after the team’s practice on Thursday that he would be moving Tristan Thompson into the starting five while Jae Crowder will come off the bench. Lue alerted them of the change this morning.

“Jae’s been playing good the last few games, it had nothing to do with Jae,” Lue said.
