I'm sure we'll rebound from last night's debacle. If we lose this game and Lebron plays like shit people are seriously going to start saying he's not the MVP

we have no choice BUT to win big tonight. bron and wade usually have great games against each other and i expect tonight to be no different. it just gets old when you see the stats and the cavs are getting killed on points in the paint against the better teams. MB better figure something out and end that stat before it leads to an early playoff exit.

dont want to get too far ahead of myself but that is a telling stat.

I think we are going to need Boobie to show up tonight. Today has to be the day where he gets his confidence back and hits thoughs open 3's. He should be told once you get in the game play off the ball and set up for the spot up 3. Plain and simple.

For the people that are going to the game chant "STD" everytime Wade goes to the line.(not really)I'll be chanting "STD" everytime he goes to the line at home.

 

[Thunder]

I hope we win.

Props to Da James Gang for a dope thread, I really like "So Fresh" and "Try Again"....and thank God you spared us a photo of STD Wade with the band-aid lol.


I've officially brushed my shoulders off like Jay and said last night is last night, I'm focused on Miami. I expect that there will be a different level of intensity on the defensive end especially around the paint area.

I hope Lebron shows up tonight. He has been playing poorly on the first night of a back to back and then playing better the second night.

I have a friend at work who has been trying to tell me all week about how much better Wade is than Lebron and I won't be able to face him if Wade tears up Lebron tonight.

Let's go Cavs! Renew my faith.

If MBrown substitutes Wally in for Z as his first substitution, then my friends, im afraid this season is lost.

This is almost a must win, as much of a must win as you can have at this point in the season. We need to keep up on Boston...and we need to win as many of the final 21 games as we can.

Definitely. But this is even more than a must win for me. This needs to be a major statement game. A milestone game we look back on.

We NEED to return to the style of play we had toward the beginning of the year, and this is the game to do it.

Ideal Stats for me:

LeBron takes less than 5 threes.
Mo has over 5 assists.
LeBron and Z each have double digit rebounds.
5+ players in double figure scoring.
LeBron and Mo don't exceed 72 minutes (combined).
Kinsey and Pavs combine for 20+ minutes.
Gibson plays less than 15 minutes.
Cavs win both Points in the Paint and Rebounding categories.

 

[Sock]

We have home court advantage people. Come on. Be more optimistic. We only lost to the Lakers this season. Heat will be no problem for us if we keep our heads up and not letting yesterday's game bring us down

Kinsey and Pavs combine for 20+ minutes.
Gibson stays home to ice his toe and ego.
Cavs win both Points in the Paint and Rebounding categories.

Now it's much better.

They almost beat us at home this season, took a comeback almost as amazing as the one you witnessed (haha) in Miami a week ago. They are not to be taken lightly.

Seriously though, you're right, Miami is a playoff team and Wade's playing out of his mind right now. Just as the Cavs can beat anyone in the league when LeBron goes bananas, the Heat and Wade have have the same ability.

If you guys want a hoot, check these Heat forums out

http://heat.infopop.cc/eve

I'm not encouraging trolling, I am just saying go read them after the game if the Cavs prevail tonight.

I have done so after the previous 3 meetings with the heat. When they beat us, all was good. The two times we beat them, their forum was literally OVERRUN with posts/threads talking about how badly the game was reffed, people were posting entire articles (written by themselves) about "Miami Got Robbed"...it was worth quite a chuckle.

Check it out if we win tonight. I guarantee the same thing happens.
