In case you didn’t check out EvilGenius’ superior piece from earlier today, “On Determination,” it should get you sufficiently pumped and in the right mindset for tonight’s game. After that, check out this Uninterrupted video about LeBron’s mindset for game two. Then, note that Delly’s starting tonight.
Let’s finish that off with the greatest motivational speech in the history of motivational speeches. I’m not talking the Gipper either. Here’s the final verse of Alfred, Lord Tenyson’s Ulysses, the poem of an aging King, older, home, and returning to the sea to take on new quests with his wizened mariners, the outcomes of which are unknown.
There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil’d, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Go Cavs!
Can’t let Curry get hot…
Curry is heating up.
Still time left guys… KEEP UP THE INTENSITY!
Too open. Someone has to recover there. Come on, TT.
Hack-a-TT going on now.
This is a pantheon game. Keep it together
Loved the spotlight on Delly’s D on Curry …
This game is incredible. Cavs getting it done with duct tape and putty.
Can you be a champion without being tough?
Mcguyver will be proud.
There’s a lot of time left. Gotta keep keepin’ on on D.
Gotta score a few more times too. Hopefully, off offensive rebounds and a 24 second reset.
Lebron actually smiled like a Cheshire Cat when the crowd saw the replay of that horrendous foul call. I love it. He has embraced his light and his dark sides. He is complete
I was on the phone and LeBron made that big 3, I scream out whoooooooiiii, my brother and his two friends very quiet in here
I think this could really set the tone coming east. Just bring in mozzy so he can get the podium with lbj.
You could almost hear him scream “THAT ONE’S FOR UNCLE DREW!!!”
Dagger!!!!!! LBJ!!!
Too much time left to be a dagger, but I’ll take it any way ;)
An eleven point lead in this game is like a 20 point deficit in any other game.
ALL THE WAY WITH LBJ!!!!! The DEEP triple with the shot clock winding down! WHOOOOOOOO!!!
Wow?!?!? LeBron with a “I’m tired” 3 chuck! I’ll take it!
Let’s hope he’s not tired.
#DETERMINATION!!!!!!!
I wonder if the next few days they will just practice free throws. Because the determination is there
that’ll do LeBron. that’ll do.
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!÷!!!!!!!!!!
LeBron!!!! With a EFF YOU three. Nothin’ but net.
THE KING IS FEEEEEEEEEELING IT!!!!
Fellas that might give us the momentum to close it out.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Go to the hoop every time. Bring Moz in on offense.
I told you guys use the pump fake!!!
Right, cause Curry and Thompson don’t do that like five times a game…
HAHAHAHAHA! Curry got that call twice in overtime the other night. I do not want to hear it.
Exactly………..
Iggy has 5 fouls now.
Need some Beast Mode LBJ right about now…
Cavs one point Away from the magic eighty
I think first to 88
Huh? How was that a foul on TT?
Wow. Draymond fouled three times there.
Wheres the foul on curry?
So it’s ok if Curry bangs LeBron…
Delly splash. We need another.
DELLY TREY!!!!!
DELLLYY here we go!!!!!!!!!
DELLY DELLY DELLY
Big shot from Jr
Borderline foul call on curry there.
My boys are still enjoying the game. My 6 said “dad that was a big shot”
But I’ll take that miss for a 3.
JR! Yes yes yes…..
JR SWISH!!!!!
Great play by TT on the missed FT!
CAVS continue to struggle at the FT line.
Hit a three and we’re up 10.
You mean liek thaT>>!
That’s what I’m talkin’ about. JR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TT!!!!
Delly doing work!
Cavs have led for what 75% of these games?
This game is from 1993. I love it.
Was just thinking the Cavs were channelling their inner 90s Knicks…
There’s a reason Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy are here.
Halfway through the 4th quarter, the second-half scoring is Cleveland 25, Golden State 21.
LOL AT THAT COMMERCIAL FOR TRAINWRECK
Man, if they counted that Curry shot for 1.5 points I would be ok with it.
Curry tight. Doesn’t have that loosey goosey swag
I wonder if it is Delly playing way above his perceived level.
No swag at all. That’s good.
Anyone else think LeBron lost all that weight cause he was filming Trainwreck?
Wow. That ball did everything but go in.
Just like Shumps the other night…
Curry cannot BUY a shot right now
Let’s hope that holds for the last 5 minutes.
TWO FREE THROWS FOR SMITH.
Man curry is lightning quick.
Green just football tackled JFJ out of bounds…
It looked like that. Once again the ref had his whistle in his hand I bet.
They need Moz to make the offense work.
Sure looked like JFJ got fouled on that shot…
I think so, too.
Attack the rim and get into the bonus please.
Warriors in trouble with the fouls.
Get in the bonus guys. Then let Delly get foul shots
Cavs in the bonus rest of the way.
I am impressed with James Jones
Really glad he hoisted that one.
Literally every time after a hard foul…
Bring on mozzy.
LBJ needs to get mad off of that…
