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!
Delly iced this game. You can’t make this up. He shut down the MVP.
Max Contract. Let the debate begin.
Delly was the man of the game.
Delly with the biggest two plays of the game.
I’ve been listening on the radio while I worked in my kitchen and just have to log on now to say, “we’re not done yet.” This was AWESOME.
1St finals win as a cav for LeBron
First Finals win in Cavs history.

Delly got a stop. LeBron at the line.
Unreal. I can’t believe I missed it. WTF.
Come on one more stop.

WOWOWOWOWOW.

DELLAVEDOVA!
Bring it Delly.
Delly! Mama there goes that man again!
delly delly delly delly delly delly
This game is hard to watch as a Cavs can with how the refereeing have been so far
Second game in a row decided by a pump fake and Lebron doesn’t do it himself.
Cavs should send film of Green’s jump-ball fouls to the league so he doesn’t get away with it for the whole series.
For all that is good and holy in this world
The warriors are the weakest team I’ve ever seen be gifted all these calls.
How is Tony Brothers still reffing in the playoffs.
JR with 4 bad fouls in this game
Smith was robbed. He couldn’t do anything because that looked like great d.
I am completely disgusted by the officiating,
Maybe we should be watching soccer instead.
Hate that call! NBA needs to change that ridiculous rule.
This looks like it is fixed. I hate saying it but this has gone to another level.
Eh. The Cavs got a bunch of calls earlier.
The cavs got two calls. I can’t think of more. This is like five within the last two mins
Sorry, Nate, but the few questionable calls that he got don’t make up for what came after.
This is the worst officiating important game I have ever seen in my life. This is incredible.
Draymond green is such a cheater!!!!!
HE DIVES INTO JR’S BODY!!!
ARE YOU EFFFFING KIDDING ME!!!!!
Bullshit.
@mikepolkjr: Nice of The WWE to lend us their refs tonight. #Cavs #ALLinCLE
RE-TIP!
These refs are completely suspect…
DELLY!!!!
DELLY STEAL!
Delly good denial on Curry.
I mean that Iggy foul on Bron happened five feet in front of the ref’s face…
We need to get a stop
That was a foul on LeBron, but yea we are on the road, can’t get a call
TT has been fouled on nearly every play. Amazing really.
How can they miss these calls. This is infuriating.
Man Dan Gilbert needs to explode and draw a fine.
What a dream season for these assholes. What a hack. Incredible.
Man the refs sure are blind.
Shump gotta make that or pull that out.
UGH
ok now the foull….
Same old same old
that play never works…ever ever
Both teams are struggling…. Both teams are tired…. Have to be proud of the Cavs.
I can’t understand why they let steph curry dribble into the paint on fast breaks, not the kind of mistakes that is okay in the finals.
Yeah why isn’t Mozilla in the game?
When we come back from this break, any chance Moz will be in the game? They can’t handle him on offense.
Please CAVS don’t blow another game in OT!
Would be nice if JR would get his head right.
Don’t understand why Moz isn’t in on offense.
Delly got fouled there.
Same thing I said. But because it’s Delly and overtime on the road we won’t get that call
