TrueCavsFan23's Keys To The Game​

*Honestly this is a home game, I want to see Lebron get a lot of touches so he can get going for game 7 if we get there.

*I think we need to always double KG down low and take our chances on an outside shot falling

*Perkins is a good defender but Z needs to be established in this game early

*Free Throws...Free Throws...Free Throws!Make those frickin free throws!!!We can be as aggresive as we want,but if we can't make them then its pointless

TrueCavsFan23's Final Note
We have to lay everything out there on that floor so we can go back to Boston and hopefully steal a win there.
Prediction-Cavs win 99-85.

oops, you forgot the man who will turn this series around tonight:

 

[chiefwahoo]

I too am waiting for the DJ Effect tonight. If he is flying the Hawk again then the C's are in big, big trouble.

 

[The George]

Give me DJ or Give me Death

I am going down in the burning ship With Damon as Captain tonight...

I really hope he plays and bring the MoHawk out tongiht. I really think he could give us a spark offensivly and hell even he can stay in front of Sam Cassell

I also think he can play d on james Posey


God we need to win this....Gibby will give it a go in Game 7 I can just feel it...We just need a win tongiht!!!!

 

[TrueCavsFan23]

If He plays I will be happy!I just don't see Mike Brown being smart enough for that.

I agree with all of the above. We need to ride or die with Damon tonight. I am a believer after what he did in big minutes against the Wizards at the trade deadline. If anything, I like to see a guy on the court with some fire and enthusiasm. One of things that kind of irks me is that this team doesn't get energized unless they have taken a lead. Sometimes you need a guy that will rally you when things aren't going so well. I like the fact that DJ brings this on the court. I kind of wish Lebron would do it more often as well. Sometimes all you need to do is rededicate yourself emotionally to the game when you are struggling in order to get where you need to be.

As for DJ, great, give him a shot.

I'm looking for Delonte West to have a major coming out party tonight. He was a killer in the fourth quarter of Game 5. We need him to continue that energy, that tenacity, and that confidence.

As for tonight's game, I'm predicting that the Cavs pull away in the fourth. The key, as always, will be coming out hard in the 3rd quarter. LeBron needs to come out driving in the third--get the Celtics into foul trouble early in the quarter--instead of playing the passive "run the offense through Z and Wally" role.

Also, I feel that a key indicator of our success tonight will be the number of rebounds LeBron gets. When LeBron's grabbing boards--I'm not talking about the weak free throw boards, but the sky in traffic and rip it down boards--it means that he's playing full-go, both sides of the ball, intense. If that happens, we'll be tough to beat regardless of how well he shoots.

On a final note, I will probably not be able to see the game tonight. My wife went into labor yesterday morning and, 25 hours later, we'll still struggling. I got kicked out of the hospital room while they fix her up with some drugs. (I'm nervous, tired, and bored. Perfect time to check RCF.)

She predicts a Cavs victory as well. Keep her in mind, and Go Cavs. Beat the sh*t out of the assh*les. I'm getting mighty sick of them.

What can i say except that we need to fight back.....Like Spurs....We need to get solid win tonight and show them that we want game 7.....Maybe its time for DJ to make some good 3's and make his show with LBJ....If we lose i will be so sad....I want to see game 7 and then if they are better they will win....Go CAVS!!!!

This is going to be amazing.

To those who think this series is over because of the last game: I feel sorry for you. I couldn't enjoy sports if I didn't have a chance at seeing something truly historical/great...

MB should adjust the rotation to take Bron out a bit earlier, then insert him the moment that KG leaves the floor. Nobody else is afletic enough to challenge him around the rim. If all else fails on D, I pray MB will consider putting Sasha on Pierce so that Bron can guard Rondo. Worth a shot - plus Bron's a great roamer off of the ball.

On O - you must feed the Z early and often. When we don't, he gets tunnelvision when he finally touches the ball in the post. Hello 18 foot turnaround or jump-backboard-hook.

Gotta run - go Cavs!!!!!

 

[Kypus]

When the stars line up exactly right- and they have... even I am ready for 12 minutes of DJ 3-point onslaught tonight.

 

[CavsRules]

Shoot it Damon Shoot it?

Damon-4-Three?


Well, I like it... Go Cavs!

 

[Numbers Guy]

LETS GO CAVS!!
