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!
TT pushed in the back on that miss!
DELLY!! Falling out of bounds!!
Delly, with superior defense.
If we hit few more free throws there would be no OT for game 1 or 2 and looking at 2_0 lead right now
Glad Bron took it to the rim at the end of reg. but I can see why he doesn’t like to do it. He’s going to get hammered and not going to get the call.
Anyone else feel like LBJ got fouled twice on that last drive of regulation?
YEah, but, you don’t get that call on the last shot in a finals game. Never have, either.
Yes, outside and at the hoop.
My sons are still watching. They said “what about mozzy”
WHEW. Bullet dodged. James to the line.
GRIND GRIND GRIND!!!
got more swagger tonight
Thank you, Shump
SHUMP!!!
Horrible game plan on offense!
I think I’m going to just start watching Harlem globetrotter games.
Argh. No Mozz. I don’t llike Blatt’s OT coaching.
Hard to swallow.
Keep FIGHTING CAVS!
#Determination
So help me understand. If i maim someone in the head in the finals, its ok but if i do it any other time, its flagrant and possibly assault.
and if i smack anyone on the last play of the game, its cool but not so at any other time.
do i have it right?
Yes, actually.
Oh and i forgot,if delly grazes someone at any time, hes out for blood and a serial killer?
could this warriors team be any more lucky?
They have momentum…. Another wasted game….
This is devastating
Oh lord. It’s overtime. Cavs still gonna win.
Need to find a way to win this.
Have to change up the lineup. Need to get Moz in.
Yes. If they want to avoid a repeat of the near shutout in OT last time.
This is ridiculous! Not again.
The whole cavs nation said this.
FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE
crap. OK. Cavs can do this. STart the quarter with Mozz.
HOW did he MISS that???
Well, lbj think OF on the road is fine so dont expect much here.
we need to remember we just need 1 point…
Set it up for JR here.
Noooooooooooooooo! Not again!
My son asked ” why is the guy cheering for the Warriors “he means the announcers
The Absense of Mozgov this quarter has been baffling.
Oh man here we go again.
This seems familiar…
Not this shit again.
UGH. Get a better possession here, Cavs.
Go to the basket please!!!
Need a drive with an and one by LBJ right about now…
When we win I’m giving jalen rose a big Simpsons “haha”
Stop the fadwaways!
Delly gets major points on that play: bodies up on Green for most of the possession, then comes up with the loose ball on the floor.
Will refrain from a dig at Reggie Miller…
We need to run some offense. I’ve seen this show already. LeBron can’t just dribble dribble dribble
Lebron is exhausted. Somebody else needs to handle it. Need to run some picks. Need some offensive rebounders in there.
Same thing he did to Korver. Didn’t look dirty there.
Yah, and Reggie miller is somewhere yelling how dirty it was.
I’m gonna have a heart attack!
Delly ALWAYS keeps his head!
Wow guys. This is big.
So now Delly is allowed to get scrappy
DELLY! JUMP BALL!
NO! He got the Timeout didn’t he?
DELLY!!!!!
He’s gonna redeem himself…
Bad foul on Jr again
He’ll just have to win the next game for us.
JR. That was dumb JR. Really dumb.
JR Smith is killing us tonight.
Third HORRIBLE decision by JR!
ARGH. JR. WTF.
“If you’re gonna boo that as a fan base… then you must think your team never fouls.” Jeff Van Gundy…
JVG – if you’re gonna boo that as a fan base then you never think your team fouls.
Mozzie would have blocked that.
No question about that
Chuups, quick 8-2 from the Warriors. Sigh we need to get some stops and score
waste of a play…
We should have been letting the ball roll and TT should have been running away from the foul. We need to burn the time.
They dont like mozgov against anyone but bogut? why no 4th quarter minutes?
Pick and roll for Moz here.
Would love to see Moz back in there…
I’d like to see Mozgov, too.
“F” Curry! He’s a mortal when he’s guarded correctly.
We need to score right now
Second bonehead move by JR on D this game while guarding Curry…
UGH. JR. Second dumb foul of the night.
MAKE EM PAY TT!!
We need to stop those 3’s man
Hand down, Man down, LeBron.
Make ’em pay, TT. Blatt should have gotten a timeout there.
