Eastern Conference Finals Game 6: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors. Fri, May 26th 2016. 8:30 pm

Raptors are a completely different team at home. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a dog fight. But I feel like if we start out strong and eventually take a 15 or so point lead. They will fold. We just can't let them get confidence from the start and let their crowd get into it.

The key is getting that lead. I do agree, that they are a team that would fold if they get down like that. They have proven that in these playoffs many times already, except for the Pacers choke job in game 5.

Oh, its going to be a dogfight. There's no doubt about it.

Well, we need to find a way to not make the refs a factor. Make yer GD 3s and we're good. Or don't take as many 3s I guess...

I think I'm just going to sleep for the next twelve hours.

I think _I'm_ just going to sleep for the next twelve hours - and wake up when the game is over. And hopefully won.

Since the 2014 playoffs began, the home team is 12-12 in game 6.

Hopefully this info outweighs the officiating.

Helpful info for the Cavs tonight. Not so for the Thunder against the Warriors tomorrow.

Good write up bigfoot... although I would personally toss Tim Horton's in the things I hate from Canada. I think their coffee and food tastes like shit.

Why wasn't Anthony Bennett a choice



Fear not!

LBJ has got this. Just like KD has got tomorrow night. Cavs win tonight.

My vote would have gone to Celine Dion if she was a choice.

Lebron leads the way, something like 35-13-11, Love and Irving top 20 each, Cavs close this thing by double digits tonight. And Canada gets back to their true love, talking about hockey.

Why can't all of these people just stay in their own country?

My vote would have been Ted Cruz...

If we lose to the Raps, can we still play to be champions of 'Merica?

 

[tocov]

Just fucking win this.

Alright boys. You've sucked in Toronto so far, but that doesn't mean today has to be the same. The Raptors are facing elimination. They're going to claw and bite (ba dum tis) to win this game. Be ready for a surge, be ready for emotion and most importantly, be ready for a fight. And Kev, don't shrink under the pressure. You got this.

 

[ice cream man]

First quarter is the key. Will we show up and get some stops and get a lead? Or will we settle and give them any shot they want...

Can't get down early in this game.

It's almost time to say good Byeombo to Raptors fans. Send em fishin!!!
