NBA Finals Game 2 | Cavaliers @ Warriors | June 7th, 2015 | 8:00 PM [EST]

I say.....let's dump the negativity/pessimism today and just get behind the team. Show everyone we're behind them no matter what. I know it's a tall task, but let's send a ton of positive energy their way. I'm pumped and think we're winning tonight. ALL IN!

 

[David Blatt]

Must win game.

 

[CodyL1121]

If headband LeBron is playing tonight, I feel sorry for those fuckers.

 

[The Oi]

I don't see this as a must win. I think there's a shot the Cavs win both home games. I will say that if the Cavs win tonight, my hopes for their chances to win the series go up significantly. As of now I have it around 20%.






Warriors- 106
Cavs- 88

Fuck that, hit them like there's no tomorrow. The time is now.

The odds favor the Warriors ... it's time to go SPARTAN

on their unfortunate ass

Yes I have watched every second, and if you are comparing playing the East in the playoffs to Golden State- you are delusional. There is no comparison. It DOESN'T MATTER how we played against the Boston Celtics or the friggin' Atlanta Hawks. This is a new ballgame.

Don't get me wrong I want to be optimistic too, but there's a point where you have to be realistic.

That wasn't even the argument though. Yea, it's obviously going to be harder but you were calling out LeBron like he was suddenly going to give up. And I was saying we have been through adversity this whole playoffs and he didn't give up then obviously. He sure isn't going to on the biggest stage.

Whether we have enough collectively at this point to get it done is the story. LeBron will be fine.

Why do the people on Twitter think the refs will favor LeBron and the Cavs tonight?

Because the general public is stupid? They make assertions and assumptions that have no merit all the time

The only thing people are looking at: When Scott Foster refs, home teams in the playoffs are 1-12.

I think their only chance to win the series is if we win the game tonight.

If we lose tonight, we'd realistically probably have to win the next 4 games. Unless Steph Curry and Klay Thompson get run over by a bus, I just don't see it happening.

It'd be the biggest collapse in the finals history, given how short handed we are, how heavily favored they are.

Bron 33

Moz 10
JJ 9

Total: 110 points = very doable with great defense = CAVS WIN!

From Terry Pluto, more on todays' refs:

Cavs fans looking for some good news will be glad to hear the lead official is Scott Foster. Road teams are 10-1 with him in the playoffs. He has worked three Cavs playoff games, and the road team is 3-0. The Cavs lost Game 1 at home in the Chicago series with Foster. They won Game 4 in Chicago with Foster, and Game 1 in Atlanta with Foster.

12. Foster was also the lead official in the game where Coach David Blatt tried to call a timeout that he didn't have -- that was Game 4 in Chicago.

13. Also on the crew is Tony Brothers, who was the lead official in Game 4 of the Boston series. That was when Brothers and his crew didn't even call a foul when Kelly Olynyk nearly tore off Kevin Love's arm. That was a game where the players got out of control. Brothers did a poor job keeping order. At least he's not the lead official in this game. The third official is Zach Zobra.

When the Cavs win this one and continue to the title it will be reckoning time for all the crybabies who are saying it is over already. It is not over, the comeback has just begun

I hope you are right. I was so jazzed for these Finals, but I feel totally let down. I feel like we went from just as good as them to needing a miracle. Add to that the facts that we have to contend with refs who call spurious travels and media people with an ax to grind, and my balloon is totally deflated.
