Game 2 | Cavaliers vs Raptors | October 28, 2009 | 7:00 PM EST

[Powerslave]

Revenge.

A dish best served cold. The ultimate factor in a rivalry. The most basic yet deadly human emotion. But how does it apply here? A common theme projected in this epic Cavalier season. For it is we, who had our championship taken away from us by a bunch of 3-point shooting vermin.
Spartans! Sharpen your blades for one of our past enemies surfaces up ahead on a mountain. His face, douchy as ever, is fresh from pizza stains and his pockets overpaid with Canadian currency. And tonight, we start our revenge on Magic players. We feed on their souls, extinguing them for their past sins against us.
The Big Ghost Rider, if you will.

Cavaliers! I hope you came hungry, for tonight you get the first taste of revenge. And it tastes ever so sweet.

Cavaliers Doin' Work

- Turn your offensive swag oooooonn. The Cavs need to develop a creative offsense throughout the season and carry it into the playoffs. Mike Brown needs to step up.
- Cavs need to monitor both Shaq and Z's minutes to ensure optimum freshness
- Role players need to solidify their roles. I'm looking at you, Gibson!
- Have LeBron whisper into Bosh's ear: "Yo, you seen Andy's shot? You won't have to battle much to get his starting job. Holla atcha boy in 2010."

Raptors Not Doin Much

- don't bother doing anything, you still suck

Great Moments In Raptors' Coaching History:

Jay Triano: "Hey, let's play single coverage on Shaq!"
Andrea: "I do it coach. I do it!"

"I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before - make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."

Damn you, Turkey Glue!

 

[SoundBreaker]

Toronto will bring it.


It's their season opener and they will have a lot of emotion.


Wouldn't be surprised to see us drop this one...

 

[The George]

nicely done lol

as for us dropping this one... well I would be pissed unlike tonight where I was more disapointed in the fact that we had a chance to win and we didnt

Lets go out and pound these guys inside and let LeBron be LeBron

 

[AMC]

Turkoglu, ew

 

[JJ Smooth]

Like the Boston game, this one will be ugly Cavalier basketball until we get our rotations down and continue to gel. Unfortunately, with a goofy training camp and our opening schedule the cherished practice time won't be coming soon. We'll be playing on the fly yet again against the Raps.

We'll see how we do here, and although I'm predicting a Cavalier victory, it won't be pretty to look at nor by a wide margin. Don't lose the faith Cavs fans, we won't be looking like this for much longer.

 

[Karma]

The beauty of a back to back game after a loss isn't there isn't too much time to dwell. Tough game on the road but I think a touch more impact from Mo and Shaq will get us over the line.

 

[Green Lantern]

Cavs aren't dropping two in a row at the start with all this talent.

 

[Mr. McTavish]

Good, but it needs more of the "center" code.

 

[TAS]

4 Games in 5 nights and they got time for a party in Toronto.

 

[Chris]

I got a bad feeling...probably because Turkeyfuck is on this team now

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

Looking forward to MO making calderon his bitch

 

[chrisrich91]

I got a bad feeling...probably because Turkeyfuck is on this team now

He only caused us problems because we had smaller players defending him. He'll be kept in check from now on.

I think the Cavs will win by about 12-14 points. Our offensive rhythm and chemistry won't have as much of an impact on us winning or losing games outside the elite teams IMO. We just have too much talent and that is what will keep our record great while we work out the kinks for these next few weeks.

Hopefully Delonte gets some action tonight.

 

[di0p]

Toronto will bring it no doubt, however Boston is probably the best defensive team in the league, where as nobody on Toronto plays defense. We should be around 100 points tonight for sure.

Also, don't forget many of Turkey-glue's 3's last year were a direct result of Howard. Bosh is very good, but he does not command the respect that Howard does. Parker should be able to handle Turkey for the most part.

 

[Chris]

From the sound of Windhorst on RBS, don't expect Delonte to play for a while.

 

[Maximus]

I got a real bad feeling about this one...
