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!
II agree with the call, but it was close.
Make your FTs please LeBron!!!!
I think LeBron moved the ball out of green’s path and that’s what caused it
Please LeBron hit those FT’s!!!
Someone needs to put Green on his ass
Special agent 3 needs to check in for this assignment
He put himself there on that play…
NO ONE MAKES LEBRON BLEED HIS OWN BLOOD
Review it, refs.
I hope they review that
Yeah dirty foul by Draymond!
Gotta say don’t think it’s a flagrant. Looks like he went for the ball.
Rest there for a spell lebron.
Iggy bailed out with a ticky tack foul called despite delly getting mugged every time he touches it
As he gets fouled YET AGAIN
How is that a foul on TT? Iggy extended the arm repeatedly…
NO foul there. TT gets forearmed and gets a foul.
How many fouls have we had in the last 3-4 seconds of the shot clock?
How did TT commit a foul when Iggy extended his arm?
HUGE shot by JR!
JR!
9 more minutes… GRIND
LEBRON 1 ASSIST AWAY FROM A TRIPLE / DOUBLE—WHERE IN THE HELL IS COLS ??
As the reigning MVP fades out in game 2 of the NBA Finals. I think we all know who the TRUE MVP is…
Cavs look like the better team.
I thought they also did in Game 1. GSW just got the breaks…
Warrior fans hating on the refs right now… they’ve never seen play THIS physical…
Even on a night when TT doesn’t stand out he still has 6 offensive rebounds and is KILLING the warriors getting foul after foul!
TTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! Keep doing that.
JR got fouled on that shot!
Now we are getting some luck.
Yeah blatant call finally gets Bogut.
JFJ with the attempted Skyhook?
James jones needs a look
LBJ! MONEY!!!
Good Klay tries that too often.
FINALLY… Klay gets another foul!
Thompson with almost half their points.
uh oh, with 4 on thompson they cannot afford to lose hime. go at him!
Time for Perk on Klay.
Told you, its there for him every time he turns the corner.
Klay just throwing his body around like a freaking fish…
DELLY AGAIN!
Keep doing it Delly.
Delly needs to take that runner more. they are playing the oop indefinitely.
What is that????
Bogut has been doing that all game to TT
Finally Bogut gets called for his dirty play.
Delly coming to life!
About damn time.
GREAT CALL on Bogut!
DELLY! Draws an offensive foul!
DELLY!
DELLY!
That shot is so strange…
BALL DONT LIE
JESUS, JR. Terrible foul. If you’re going to foul, put him on the dec.
Jr is getting killed in this game, put shumpert on him…
Ridiculous…
The bright side, we held the offensive juggernaut to 14 points in the quarter. We cant let the Warriors bench score and get the lead.
MAN IF SHUMP CAN BRING ANY KIND OF OFFENSE THAT WOULD HELP OPEN IT FOR MOZ/ LEBRON
Anything that opens the lane is great.
15-14 quarter… Cavs basketball
Oh man I read that to my sons and they said “is that good for us?”
#Believeland! We can do this Cavs!
Which MVP gets hot in the fourth?
12 minutes! 12 more damn minutes of gritty basketball and we’ve accomplished everything we could have hoped on the way home to the Q.
That dunk would have erupted the place, glad he missed. We need to start the quarter good. Havent been good on offense for awhile.
That was a stroke of luck for us. No doubt he only had to dunk. How could he flub it.
Ok, first team to 80 wins. C’mon Cavs!
Alright, how on EARTH was that not a foul on speights?! just letting delly get hammered
Wow. Delly should get the benefit of the foul call there. Refs were look at his arm to
I think the ref might have torn an ACL on that out of bounds play…
Man I didn’t even look for that.
Kinda kidding… but wouldn’t doubt it in this series… Especially if he’s from Cleveland…
Delly got creamed before time ran out!
They’re not going to call any fouls against Delly apparently…
Ugliest 10 seconds in NBA history?
HA! HA! SPEIGHTS!
Lebron shot selection bit strange this q
LAST 2 POSSESSIONS —-UGLY !!
Miller not hobbled. That’s how he moves…
Okay maybe take out Mike Miller?
Yes pleaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, anyone but him
I’d take Joe Harris
If they can weather these minutes with Mozgov on the bench…
