In case you didn’t check out EvilGenius’ superior piece from earlier today, “On Determination,” it should get you sufficiently pumped and in the right mindset for tonight’s game. After that, check out this Uninterrupted video about LeBron’s mindset for game two. Then, note that Delly’s starting tonight.
Let’s finish that off with the greatest motivational speech in the history of motivational speeches. I’m not talking the Gipper either. Here’s the final verse of Alfred, Lord Tenyson’s Ulysses, the poem of an aging King, older, home, and returning to the sea to take on new quests with his wizened mariners, the outcomes of which are unknown.
There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil’d, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Go Cavs!
Get miller a shot.
TT having a rough game…
Letting the Warriors get to him…
TT has been really ineffective in this series.
He had 15 boards last game dude…
Love the way Moz drew all those fouls too
It was a nice play for a JR 3, just shot it too hard
It wasn’t contested enough…
That must be it for true
There was no need to foul there Mike!
Miller not getting eviscerated on defense for his 2 mins has earned his entire paycheck. Give him one more shot…he was screaming for the ball on offense last trip down. Never seen him do that
If he could get hot then I have faith that he can be the difference maker to let lebron sit if necessary.
I compare this Beats ad with Green with the Kia ad with LB where he pulls into the Q. LeBron completely wins the ad with an amazing facial expression. Meanwhile Green acts like a punk in his.
Need to keep feeding JR now… he found his touch and he is ANGRY!
Angry jr can crack me up at times. Like we are not sure if he is having a convo with himself.
If Mike Miller could hit 2-3 3’s this series to keep the defense honest he’s earned his entire paycheck
Honestly… if he’d hit that last one, I would have said the same…
Hahahaa Boyy, and timely 3’s too would make it even better
Cavs… Straight Outta Cleveland!
Need JR to start feeling it
5 straight going into the 4th quarter would be a HUGE boost.
Ball totally over the cylinder (but barely). Great call.
Especially since it was in the moment. Must have had a great lol.
The ref just did the ‘cookin’ sign, he should expect a curse from Lil B
LOL… comment of the thread!
My lol went to the comment below. I can’t remember if I typed it or not
We can only hope and pray.
JR was fouled by Iggy
Mozgov pushed in the back on that thompson runner
I really believe the refs don’t see it because he is so large. They probably think it is just contact.
Get it to him again!
JR finally! We need you, man.
JR SWISH!!!!
Knew he’d make that. He was pissed about the double tech.
Yes JR! Yes JR.!
THERE IT IS JR!!!!
Who would have thought, Lebron and Timo carrying us in a Finals game
Double T on JR and Green
Double techs on Green and Smith.
I officially dislike Draymond Green! He’s a punk!
What took you so long?
But is he bill laimbeer 2.0
ALL DAY LONG LBJ!
Right down Huron!
Ezeli really seems to mess with Golden State’s rhythm. I know he hit that hook, but he doesn’t seem to ‘get’ the offense.
Mike Miller for 30!
Three on Draymond!
JR NEEDS SOME OF DELLY’S COFFEE
Exactly, Jr is always a few seconds too late
Blatt desperate for some outside shooting
JR can’t stay with Thompson…
Damn Klay is hot tonight.
Mike Miller sighting!
Launch some 3’s
Wow Mike Miller coming in, this should be interesting
Game totally at the Cavs pace right now. Grind it out at the line.
FTs FTs FTs, keep. them. coming.
That’s three on Klay!
That was livingston.
Iggy is a tough match up for JR!
JR’s head not in this one so far…
great double team just now
Anything from Shump and JR….anything….
If either team was hitting their shots they’d be up by 15 points.
GREAT D by Delly and Bron!
GREAT D, DELLY! after the overclub…
Keep mozzy in the rest of the game.
MOZZY!
Never been happier to trade away two first round picks… Moz has been money so far
And it will continue. His confidence is sky high.
Pasta Uzeli with a bucket.
All these minutes with Bron on the bench while they’re shooting freebies are bonus. Bron got an extra 2-3 minutes of rest there.
How amazing would a Mozgov post game interview on national TV be?
We win and he has to be on the podium with Lebron
I would love to see that
Please make your FTs Moz!
Mozzy’s athleticism a problem for the Warriors.
Delly and Moz putting GSW into the bonus on their own…
Mozgov getting to the line again, love it
Mozilla is the difference maker in this game.
Moz back to good stroke at the line…
Wow that was a nice pass by Shumpert, would have loved if he finished that layup/dunk
Please Moz make your DTs.
FTs I meant. Yeah!!!!
Lebron is out, we need JR and Shump to score now
Amazing that the score right now, halfway through the third, is the same as the halftime score from Game 1…
Good foul.
Except that it was JFJ’s 4th…
TT is barely getting any rebounds this game, for Cavs is one shot and thats it.
Cannot stress enough just how much he’s being grabbed and held by both Bogut and Green…
Yeah Kerr has done a great job with limiting TT.
TT still has 4 offensive rebounds. and Oh, 3 defensive ones and 10 total for both LBJ and Moz
LOOK FOR KERR TO POSIBLY USE SPEIGHTS / LIVINGSTON ( FRESH BODIES ) MORE THIS HALF ESPECIALLY WHEN HE THINKS THE CAVS MIGHT BE GASSED
One thing im glad is that they are not killing us from 3, Curry is 1-9 and Klay 2-7. Those 3’s are what get the crowd involved
Bite your tongue man ;)
THAT WAS A GUTTY FIVE MINUTES. JUST GRIND, CAVS!
I think the cavs have made u their minds they will play starters 40+ minutes each. I don’t know if the math is there but it sure feels that way
This is ugly and the only way we can win…. UGLY!
Mozzy game MVP right now
Sweet baseline J from the big Russian!
Smooth like wodka…
GO IN THE BUCKET, BALL
Looking like a repeat of the first quarter…
Draymond Green just MUGGING TT
TT has been ay less effective this series. Not sure if it’s cause Mozzy getting minutes or Green is shutting him down
I think the warriors have put a LOT of focus on TT this whole series and mozzy is just taking advantage of whats left to him. When it takes two people to box out your 6’9″ player, the 7-footer can dominate, same thing on offense. A lot of focus on making sure TT won’t get any potential offensive rebound opens up the game for Mozzy a bit.
He was -18 in first half
