Cleveland and the Finals

​

-: lyXo's Keys to the Game :-

* Win or the season is over. Win or you'll hear all summer how bad of a team you are. Win or be bereft of pride. Win or the Eastern Conference crown means nothing. Win or go home.

* Less of this.

More of this.​

* Take it. It's yours. Don't complain that the refs are giving it to them. No excuses. You're telling us to rise up. First, you have to rise up yourself. Take it.

* Less of this.

More of this.​

* Take it to the hole strong. Slam it on them. Strike fear into them. Energy and passion will be the deciding factor in this game.

* Less of this.

More of this.​

* Gibson had a good game and a bad one. He couldn't shoot jumpers, wide open ones, but that's because his legs were tired from such great defense on Tony Parker. Some getting accustomed to and he'll be sinking those shots and turning 27 points (see: Larry Hughes)

* Less of this.

More of this.​

* Execute. If we don't execute, we end up like last game. Find easy buckets and focus without forcing.

Final Note:
This is the Finals. In order to win, you must elevate your game, your entire game. We are distressed from losing 3 in a row, but we just received our trump card... we have nothing left to lose. We've been at our lowest, so we can't go any lower. The sky is the limit, and I expect us to soar high in Game 4.

GO CAVS !!!!! ​

Great preview LyXo.

Hopefully the guys go out there with that "nothing to lose" attitude and loosen up on offense.

The hustle was there in game 3, the execution sadly not.

This is purely for pride now, so hopefully we can get a couple of wins up at the Q.

 

[PIP]

Must win ???? :chuckles:

 

[ChicagoCavFan]

I will classify this game as a must win. This could also be the last game we see Pollard in a Cavalier uni.

Playing for pride at this point. If we can salvage 1 or 2 games it will go a long way!

Good quality start.

LeBron looks like he could explode.

Ilgauskas just working it at both ends.

Gibson has his strut back!

 

[bob2the2nd]

thank you karma, i have been meaning to do that all series and havent, hopefully that can turn us around..

through 6 minutes, not a bad showing

 

[Karma]

Someone tell the officials there are two teams out there.

Horrible officiating.

They have given the Spurs the lead....as has Parker.

 

[highplainsdrifter]

Man Tony Parker is a heck of a player. But we can stop him.
