Cleveland Cavaliers have Terry Talkin’ winning with LeBron James, Matthew Dellavedova, Tristan Thompson Author: Terry Pluto Publication: Cleveland.com
“CLEVELAND, Ohio — Who knew?
That’s what I was thinking when I looked at some stats showing how valuable Matthew Dellavedova was with the Cavaliers.
By the playoffs, it was evident that the Australian guard was more than just a so-so backup. The team seemed to play well with him on the court. Dellavedova’s rugby style defense made him hated by some opponents, absolutely loved by his teammates and fans.
