I'd like to dedicate my post to Richard Jefferson. A consummate professional, i've been surprised and elated by what he has brought to this team on and off the court. I can honestly say we would not be as far as we are without him. When the team seems to give up or shows no heart, it's this guy that pulls them back into the game - playing at level and with a will that surpasses his years in the league.

I'm not very emotional usually. I've cried numerous times in the last 24 hours. I feel guilty that I'm not home. I hope you all are safe tonight, no matter the outcome, and party like rockstars!!!!!

We got you. We got all the people out of state and out of the country who are Clevelanders.
I will have multiple coronas, multiple cries, multiple screams of joy, and you guys will all be in my thoughts.
We will all party together. You're with us.

Man. Still can't fully comprehend that we're here.
Really bummed I can't be in Cleveland. Start my post-grad job in Cincy tomorrow.
I really was tempted to take a big fat vacation day on day 1 though
.
GO CAVS. Holy shit!!!!!

Ive been thinking about this poem since game 5. I know its long, but man if it doesnt sum up everything, i dont know what does
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

I'm in China for work and will have to watch this game from my desk in between meetings, for those that are watching from home, the bar, at the Q watch party, or at Oracle, make sure to rep the 216 as hard as you can.
I have never been more excited and terrifed for something in my life. 48 minutes of basketball could be one of the best days of my life, or one of the saddest. Regardless of the outcome, take the time to appreciate the greatness of LeBron James and the fact that Cleveland is one game away from history. Just a couple years ago we were watching Earl Clark, Manny Harris, and Lester Hudson, but Lebron left a championship team to come home to bring Northeast Ohio to the promised land. And he is doing it at a level we have never seen before. Whatever the outcome of this game, I know the Cavs will leave everything they have on the floor. I'm so grateful that I get to watch of the greatest players to ever play wear Cleveland across his chest. As much heartbreak as this city has faced, it is pretty fucking amazing that a kid from Akron, Ohio has ascended to a GOAT status while wearing a Cleveland jersey. As much as he fucked us over a couple years ago, it is still pretty damn miraclous that Lebron fucking James plays for our team.
With that said, I'm greedy and want a parade. I want the generations of deprived fans to expierence the glory. Golden State didn't beat OKC, OKC beat themselves. The Cavs have to play a perfect game tonight because these pricks will be there every step of the way with them. Kyrie has to attack Curry and defend relentlessly. J.R Smith needs to hit open shots and have his best defensive game yet. Tristian needs to be a monster on the boards and make smart passes out of the post. Kevin needs to be agressive and have confidence in his abilities. R.J, Shump, Delly, and Mo have to give the Cavs heart, energy, and offense off the bench. Lue needs to ensure the team continues to trust each other when the going gets tough and make sure guys get rest for the fourth quarter. And of course, Lebron needs to play his biggest game to date. Hit the jumper, lockdown Green, limit turnovers, and do whatever it takes to put the ball in the basket. Everything is stacked against the Cavs, but I believe they can do it. Something feels different. Maybe, just maybe Cleveland will be on the other side of history for once.
All in for Cleveland. All fucking in.

I am about to head down to the Indians game. After that, I am having Father's Day dinner with my dad downtown, then going to the Watch Party. I'll have my phone, but probably won't post much to save battery. So this is probably my last post here until after the game. My message:
Love you all. WE GOT THIS!
