The Cleveland Cavaliers will be going up against the Atlanta Hawks on the road Friday in a game that might get ugly. Why things might get ugly is not because of the previous reasons, however. Tonight, the Cavs play shorthanded against the Hawks just a day after dealing half of their roster at the NBA Trade Deadline.
The Hawks, on the other hand, have put out the worst record in the entire NBA and are just holding on until a top draft pick comes in to become the newest face of the franchise. After only dealing Luke Babbitt on Thursday and completing a buyout with Marco Belinelli, the Hawks still have most of their roster intact.
