No Iggy is a huge break for the Cavs especially for Bron, he has to take advantage and get the split.

 

[bob2the2nd]

Fuck em.

Let's. Go. Cavs

All i got for this series right now is when I was a kid I always just believed Jordan ( i hated him) was gonna win no matter what. All the shitty teams he faced in the NBA finals and i knew he was gonna win. Lets turn the clock forward to now because Lebron is Jordan now and the kid inside me wants to believe he will over come this and win this impossible series some how. Its like a WWE match where they have no chance in hell, with pitting our hero, Lebron James into hell where he must accept it and truly not give a fuck and become the best player ever to play this game and steal the NBA title......

Every finals since 2012 Lebron been down 1 - 0 by first game.His record is 1 - 7 in first game of nba finals, the pressure on us at game 2.

We are such huge underdogs this year that I have no fear regarding these finals. If we lose we lose, we have everything stacked against us.
But if we win, this will be the greatest achievement by LeBron and the Cavs.

So I'm gonna be watching this chill af, there's nothing to lose, only the biggest thing ever to win.

Hopefully JR Smith catches fire, George Hill is aggressive, Larry Nance doesn't commit shitty fouls and Kevin Love starts hitting bunnies. Oh and the refs don't fuck us.

LET'S GO CAVS!

I know there is thing with lebron and feel out games. But I really don't see how that is a good idea here. I say go all out first game and i hope we win this first game.

 

[CHIMOCHIS]

I see the king getting killed a lot tonight

Facing a better team, nothing you can do about it

Keep it under double digit loss

I fully expect him to go all out, which is actually consistent with teams who had little chance to win.

Example - 2015 against the Warriors. No one thinks the Cavs can win (outside of a few on the board). LeBron went nuts and took it to OT. Yes, I know Kyrie played in that Game 1 but people were still predicting a Cavs loss due to Love's injury that year.

No iggy so we have to take advantage of it.

Also it should be our goal to keep them below 100 points everygame. If we want to win 4 games it will be because of our defense messing up their offense. Maybe there is 1 game where we can still go off for 110+ points but it wont be 4 games.

This is a good situation for the Cavs.

No expectations. No pressure. Anything less than obliteration is a minor victory. If we give them a game, we’ll be in their heads.

It’s vaguely like when The Man in Black knocked out Andre the Giant, in Princess Bride. You use different moves when fighting only one person.
