this game most likely decides the series (as last night's OKC/GS game did)
I'll say MOST LIKELY with a grain of salt of course.
but it's a big game

Hopefully our $82 Million rebounding machine doesn't get outdone by the $3 Million rebound machine tonight. It's amazing that some people have no clue on how contracts work. Heck, I am uneducated about the process, but even I know why newer contracts pay more than older ones.

Big game. We need it. Let's stay loose and hit some shots! Go Cavs!

Heck, I am uneducated about the process, but even I know why newer contracts pay more than older ones. I understand where you are going with that Vers, but TT needs to play better than he has to warrant the contract he has. I know you are a big fan, I am as well to a certain extent. When TT is playing smart and aggressive he is the best Offensive Rebounder in the game. The problem is that he is playing against a guy with a chip on his shoulder who is playing better Offense, Defense, and with more aggression. That has to change.

Not saying I am correct, but I think the keys to this game are:
--Love shoots w/confidence. He seems to be reverting back to the early version of Love w/the Cavs.
--Kryie plays some defense on the perimeter.
--Kyrie stops dribbling so much to get his shot.
--Have LeBron attack the basket all night.
--Lue should not panic and make quick substitutions that are based on offensive concerns. Don't be like lead, Lue. Defense, screens, and rebounds outweigh points from your fifth option.
--This is hard for me to say, but I hope the fans provide a true homecourt advantage.

I am not that big of a fan, Kash. I just hate the stupid crap that guys like lead say. It's ridiculous. We aren't losing games because of TT. Goodness.

I don't buy into anything that guy says. I don't believe in ignoring people, but if I did..well you can assume the rest!

The Cavs really need to win this game, bro. I think they will. I do think that the keys I listed are legit......but hey.......I've been wrong before. I do NOT think Biyombo scoring five points last game cost us the game........LOL......It's more the other things that I listed.
I would be interested to hear if others, including you, have some keys to the game.
Hell, one of the main reasons I hope we win is so I don't have to read all the freaking crying from lead and the crew.
The regular season is done. Moves have been made. It's the playoffs, fellas. Time to go all-in and support the team!

I listed some of mine earlier in the thread, you may have missed it. I agree with a lot of what you said...
Love has to be aggressive and drive the ball inside. He also needs to post up. He needs to set that tone, or he will become regulated to launching threes.
Kyrie has got to be aggressive on Defense. Toronto's backcourt cannot dominate the way they have the last 2 games.
TT needs to play smarter than Biyombo. Not only more aggressive, but smarter.
LeBron has to take over. His outside shot scares the crap out of me, but Toronto needs to know he is not afraid to take it when they leave 4 feet between him and the defender. They will do that all night and just pack the lane, making us a predominately outside shooting team. We lose if that happens.
I agree with the crowd aspect, I left that out earlier. Our crowd has to be engaged and loud throughout the game. Even if it gets hairy. They can easily dictate the game because our team feeds off of their energy.
I'm scared, but confident. Weird right?

Kyrie is so infuriating. Had a wide open love and decided to take a horribly tough shot.

Wow! I get home from work, check the score and we're up by 21.
Best way to ensure we win it all is to play every game at home!
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM my two cents...

so we're back to our comfort zone at home
at this rate, if we don't lose at home we're champs (most likely)

Not sure what the Raps are whining about to the refs. JR stood right there, and Biyombo clearly hit Love. I guess they are just mentally frustrated and taking it out on the refs.
