i hope someone throws van gundy off terminal tower...oh and we need to not piss away another w tonight boys

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

Given how the Cavs normally bounce back after a loss, and that they are at home, I look for this to be a much better game for the Cavs. A win here tonight does more than keep us alive, it builds momentum for our trip to Orlando.

It's a Game 7 in a Game 2's body...c'mon Cavs, must win this...

[Walter White]

Im so excited to see the way we respond and make adjustments for tonight! On the other hand it would be an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE if we lost tonight. Just thinkin about it makes you feel horrible.

Someone needs to go down to the McDonalds on Carnegie and wait for Dwight to get his pregame meal and put some major sleeping pills and laxatives in his food and drink

[Corey]

We need Mo to wake up.

Shit, we need the entire team besides LeBron to wake up if we want to win this series.

New from the Cavs video staff. Chiefwahoo56 says they played it at the Q during game 1.

the wuck...chiefwahoo is right... they played that spoof at game #1...

Anyways, I know the dissection of the game #1 has been beaten to death (along with some historical playoff statistics), but here are a couple series level thoughts :

As mentioned before by others, this is a pivotal game. This win would guarantee a game #5 back in Cleveland no matter what happens Orlando.

If we win, the worst case scenario we could face is being down 3-1 and we would need to win 3 in a row (2 games at home, and 1 on the road). That situation would be far from ideal, but I think the Cavs have the talent/ability to win three in a row against the Magic (although it will give me a heart attack). With that said, I think the series being even at 2-2 is far more likely. Also, I think the next pivotal game will be game #5 which will be played in Cleveland which is comforting (either someone will be facing elimination or a team will be looking to take a lead in the series).


I will be going to the "Q" tonight (in Loudville), I have to admit I'm abit nervous, but I'm still confident the Cavs will pull this one somehow.Let's Go Cavs!

 

[Walter White]

We wont be in the situation down three one...the worst case scenario is winning one at Orlando instead of two than going in and closin the deal in game 6.

 

[ice cream man]

Mo and LeBron must not play out of character tonight. But whatever, it's all on our defense. Every single defender must be busting his ass.

Nice preview.

If we would happen to... Screw it we are not going to lose this game!!!!!!!!
