OK, everyone step back from the ledge. Now it’s time to buck up. We’ve won three in a row before in the regular season. No reason we can’t do it again. Let’s fucking do this thing.
i dont think it was an ass kicking. lakers fan here and i can sympathize with this heartbreak of a loss. could have very easily went the cavs way tonight. they were up 1 with 6 seconds left after a missed shot and that loose ball cost them bigtime after delonte touched out before it headed out of bounds. wow 1 possession again and it never would have went to overtime, that’s never fun. that’s how huge it was. still, cavs still have a chance. i expect them to bring it big time in gm5. either way, both of these ball clubs are worthy contenders to reach the finals.
guess if they can win the next game at home, and get howard suspended on a technical for gm6 on the road, that would give them a huge chance at winning that one (even if he plays, they still have a chance as they proved tonight), nothwithstanding the result of the sixers victory in gm6, and then take it back home for gm7. just saying it could happen. 8 teams have done it before, so don’t lose hope yet cavs fans.
Thanks
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
lebron and howard should do a dance-off to decide this.
rolub - May 26, 2009
That would make it too easy for us.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
So…Gibson continues getting the minutes here.
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
He should
He’s played well and has speed to keep up with Alston.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Orlando only went 4 times
because they were chucking.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
let’s just dominate here.
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
This
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Nice steal!
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Turkoglu… not the best ballhandler.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Let's win this by 10.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Alright, keep making those free throws.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Gibson last shot free throws May 7.
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
Boobie!
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
lets
Drive the lane!
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
Boobie!
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
I must be bored.
westbrook - May 26, 2009
Keep getting to the lane, boys
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Um, how can you defend Howard
with the flying elbows?
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
ARGH, silly
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Gibson doesn’t know the offense.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
I’m feeling a 3 here
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Um, this is dumb. Let’s win.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
how bout we stop him from dunking, m’kay?
rolub - May 26, 2009
We take far too many fade-aways.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Nice rebound Andy.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
LEBRON BITCHES!!!
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
The King!
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
LEBRON IS GOD
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
LBJ for 3. At this point…whatever goes in.
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
fill me up, barkeep
APV - May 26, 2009
Yikes, Howard
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Can’t keep giving up dunks, boys.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
oh ref.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Wow, Andy fouls out. That was fucking bullshit.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
What is the rule on a kick ball?
if it hits two defenders, it negates itself?
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
no, it doesn’t get called if the offensive player just throws it at the other team’s feet
ahowie - May 26, 2009
What is Lebron doing? Insane
ahowie - May 26, 2009
Trying to get Howard to foul
Andy on the dunk.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
have no clue why he was getting space in the line, but decided to look backwards.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Between the legs? Come on, LeBron.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
No foul on Varejao there. Lebron, maybe.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Why not get Ben in there?
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Why is Z on the floor?
He can’t guard anyone
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Jesus, not again.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
FUCK Pietrus
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
so this isn’t going so well…
westbrook - May 26, 2009
wedge is guest-coaching for the cavs.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Actually, he might be playing
westbrook - May 26, 2009
Crap.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
This sucks, fucking bullshit
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
crap…done…
HireRockyColavito - May 26, 2009
shh
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
/sad face
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
believe people, believe
APV - May 26, 2009
Unreal.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
what the fuck are you doing, Lebron
APV - May 26, 2009
LEBRON WHAT THE FUCK
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
you and i, very much alike
APV - May 26, 2009
Yeah but, fortunately for you, you have gin right now. I’m drinking Diet Coke.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
gin > diet coke
APV - May 26, 2009
No disagreement here.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
too fucking sloppy with the basketball
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
game over
thanks for the turnovers lebron
ahowie - May 26, 2009
goaltend
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
I thought so, too. Replay disagrees.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
replay don’t know shit!
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
looking bleak :(
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
fukk fukk fukk fukk fukk
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Now
we gotta hit some threes.
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
Not yet, drive to the basket.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
This is all on LeBron, I’m sorry
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
yes – like everything Cavs
APV - May 26, 2009
Turkoglu walked on the way to the basket and Howard should have been called for goaltending.
woodsmeister - May 26, 2009
Nah
it had seperation from the rim.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
I don’t see how 6 foot plus guys should be allowed to take 2.5 steps to the basket in the NBA.
emd2k3 - May 26, 2009
can we please just be put out of our misery this is miserable to watch…
HireRockyColavito - May 26, 2009
THE INDIANS WON!
westbrook - May 26, 2009
Don’t care tonight.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
i can almost smell 4th place!
rolub - May 26, 2009
Ok look. Still a minute and a half.
We still got this.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
this unflappable optimism is getting very annoying…
HireRockyColavito - May 26, 2009
Is it only 1:12 left
or is there more?
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
subject line?
westbrook - May 26, 2009
hopefully more
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
I'm back
I’m sorry, but the “We Still Got This” attitude is what is killing Cleveland. This time LeBron choked in OT.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
Really? That is what is killing Cleveland?
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
i thought it was the downfall of the steel industry, but i guess i was wrong.
rolub - May 26, 2009
The Cavs more specifically. Didn’t mean Cleveland sports.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
Seattle choked and gave us Oklahoma City.
emd2k3 - May 26, 2009
Nice, LeBron
Now take it all
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
WE
GOT
THIS
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
4 point game
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
cmon LBJ23
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Refs doing everything they can to keep Howard in the game.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
I joined just to be able to “z” through all of this.
NickFantana - May 26, 2009
AND ROOT FOR THE CAVS RIGHT?!
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Oh, most definitely. First Cavs game thread ever.
NickFantana - May 26, 2009
oh boy oh boy oh boy
APV - May 26, 2009
WE GOT THIS
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
We need a stop
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
DEFENSE!!!
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
OK, good foul
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
should have never even had time to attempt the layup… he touches it, hack him.
rolub - May 26, 2009
No, great foul.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Great foul.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
REMEMBER DWIGHT HOWARD
YOU CAN’T MAKE FTs, NO MATTER WHAT YOU HUM.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Time for Howard to channel his inner Ben Wallace.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
Dwight Howard has fouled out of this game at least 3 times. This is crap.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Howard better miss 1
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Damn.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Double Damn
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Miss the second. PLEASE GOD
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
FUCK
APV - May 26, 2009
Wow. Fuck.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
over
westbrook - May 26, 2009
Nope. We still got this.
3, foul, 3 for the win
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
I admire your “never quit” attitude
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
It’s the only thing we’ve got, man. We have to win this.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Nope. We will win!
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
DAMMIT
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
James should just take it to the rim again. Howard has 5 fouls right?
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
9
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
But, they won’t call it.
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
A quick 2
and a quick foul and do this all over again.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
this is why i can barely watch basketball.
westbrook - May 26, 2009
Mother of fuckingshit
APV - May 26, 2009
Mother of pearl with cutoff jeans who pooped herself?
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
we’re into gross amateur porn territory here
APV - May 26, 2009
Sorry. It happens when I’ve had this much diet coke.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
TEN OT points for Howard? Let them shoot fucking 3s.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Don't need a 3 yet
Need points
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Unreal. He’s like 99.999999999999999% ONLY because its us he’s playing.
No one can argue we are fukking cursed. Sell off all three franchises. I’m never EVER gonna see a title.
mgtbfb - May 26, 2009
what’d the Easter Bunny bring you this year?
rolub - May 26, 2009
Jump ball…? wtf
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
WOW
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
Jump ball?
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Wow
That hurts.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Meh, better than a travel.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
How much fucking contact does it take?
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
all over his arm.
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
Good call — he got all ball.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Except for the other three arms that were in there.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Howard did
the other guy didn’t.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
This time the refs got it right.
woodsmeister - May 26, 2009
Dana DeMuth sighting?
westbrook - May 26, 2009
16 seconds.
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
JESUS GOD HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL?
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
Um
Foul?!?!
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
FOUL!!!!!! COME ON!!!
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
Pierce gets that foul 100% of the time
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
he’s been stabbed in the face.
i’d give him the call too.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Stabbed in the face?!
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
5 or 7 times. can’t remember exactly, but know it was an odd number.
rolub - May 26, 2009
Um, wow. Didn’t know that. What were the circumstances?
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
He was robbed
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Some guy took a knife and hit Pierce in the face with a few times.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
link
rolub - May 26, 2009
So does everyone except, apparently, when they don’t want Dwight Howard to fould out.
CU Adam - May 26, 2009
he talks like a 75 year old man.
He’s earned it.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
No foul on the shot??
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
this isn’t over yet
APV - May 26, 2009
Dwight Howard can't foul out of this game
it is impossible.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
As if defies the laws of nature……..
Just can’t happen….
Refs won’t let it.
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
this game is fixed
Tim1122 - May 26, 2009
That is a textbook drawn foul. Fuck these refs
ahowie - May 26, 2009
Why does it always have to be this way
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Don’t give up the ship
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
MISS IT
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
fuck
APV - May 26, 2009
Impossible now
right?
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Nothing’s impossible
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Quick 3
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
OK, everyone. I’m leaving the game thread and turning the game off. It’s the only chance we’ve got.
NickFantana - May 26, 2009
Damn
I have a headache.
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
Do we have a timeout after this one?
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
No.
This is it.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
Things aren’t looking good.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
That Lebron miss at the line at 97-97 is the difference now. He makes both then his FTs that forced OT are for the win.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
…………………
Game, series, season, LeBron and franchise gone
mgtbfb - May 26, 2009
Oh quit that shit.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Not yet!!
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
I shoulda gone to the bar.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
That must be the secret. I was hammered for game 2
mgtbfb - May 26, 2009
Wow, LeBron
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
A lifeline.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
Can we hit a half courter?
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
why now?
mgtbfb - May 26, 2009
WE have a chance
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
WOW. We could have used that earlier.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
need more gin
APV - May 26, 2009
Need the board
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
come on come on come on
APV - May 26, 2009
MISS!!!!
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Holy shit… we still got this
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009

Got a good look

Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
:-(
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
Fuck life.
I’m never watching sports again.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
SHIT
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
damn it
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
yea we got this huh? sorry
HireRockyColavito - May 26, 2009
Don’t be a jerk.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Go ahead and jump ship into the Lake Show, we don’t care.
That shot almost went in.
We will make history and win 3 games in a row.
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
What a game.
Better luck next season. Because I’m not sure LeBron will ever get a better chance than this.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
What? We’ll be great again next year.
Besides, this series isn’t over.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
How did we lose this game? DAMMIT
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Damn you Rashard Lewis.
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
you go home, take care of business, and gain momentum in game 6 back in orlando. far from over.
rolub - May 26, 2009
I know it’s hard, but keep your heads up Cavs fans
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Stan Van Gundy won this game
his constant bitching kept Howard in this game when he clearly fouled out 4 times.
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
We are freaking Cursed?
CLEVELAND WILL NEVER WIN ANYTHING. Please God give us ONE Championship.
E5 - May 26, 2009
lest we forget…..
rolub - May 26, 2009
soccer is the worst sport in the history of man
E5 - May 26, 2009
No. Outdoor soccer is beautiful.
woodsmeister - May 26, 2009
That’s an idiotic thing to say.
Brad D - May 29, 2009
Can’t believe this shit. This game was ours.
Really makes it look like “LeShot” was just a tease from the sports Gods, and now they’re saying “whoops, suck it, you’re still Cleveland, haha!”
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Right.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
GOOD LUCK
CLOSING IT OUT. WE AINT DONE.
johnnyphoenix - May 26, 2009
They don’t make them 7 game series for nothing.
Simmsinns - May 26, 2009
Alright boys, time to re-gain the momentum at home.
Chris Pokorny - May 26, 2009
Mike Brown should start Ben Wallace in game 5.
SSreporters - May 26, 2009
OK, everyone step back from the ledge. Now it’s time to buck up. We’ve won three in a row before in the regular season. No reason we can’t do it again. Let’s fucking do this thing.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
We’re not done. Remember the ’07 ALCS?
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
FLAG.
rolub - May 26, 2009
I don’t think I like that example
cleveland teamer - May 26, 2009
It can work the other way, too.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Brad, can I make a request?
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
yup
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
No “Fear the Links” tomorrow. I want to be insular and not read anything anyone else has to say about this game or this series. I hate everything.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
If I may, I’ll give you an inspirational wallpaper instead?
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
You don’t have to read it.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
I know, I’m kidding.
Mostly.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Ill be back after
…it goes to 7. MARK IT.
johnnyphoenix - May 26, 2009
gotcha
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
wow...
what a series. good luck in the next game, you guys can still pull it out.
Marked Hoosier - May 26, 2009
there is no doubt there is a curse here that does not mean that it can beat us this is how the redsox (i know) beat the yanks in 04
Tim1122 - May 26, 2009
We will win three in a row.
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
everyone pray
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Who is Rafer Alston?
emd2k3 - May 26, 2009
Penny Loafer
Hardcore Legend - May 26, 2009
A man who makes too many 3s.
GekkouKitsune - May 26, 2009
They shot 17-38 from three!?!? That’s ridiculous.
Buckeye Brad - May 26, 2009
Will they go cold … ever?
emd2k3 - May 26, 2009
Our shooters finally come around a bit, and they light it up even more. At some point, you gotta tip your cap.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Aditya T (smashville) - May 26, 2009
Wow, that actually means a lot coming from the Round Mound.
Turkmenbashi - May 26, 2009
Laughing @ the Cavs Right
Good game Magic Kick y’all asses……Very good win….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Kasam - May 26, 2009
i dont think it was an ass kicking. lakers fan here and i can sympathize with this heartbreak of a loss. could have very easily went the cavs way tonight. they were up 1 with 6 seconds left after a missed shot and that loose ball cost them bigtime after delonte touched out before it headed out of bounds. wow 1 possession again and it never would have went to overtime, that’s never fun. that’s how huge it was. still, cavs still have a chance. i expect them to bring it big time in gm5. either way, both of these ball clubs are worthy contenders to reach the finals.
kumquatsrus - May 26, 2009
guess if they can win the next game at home, and get howard suspended on a technical for gm6 on the road, that would give them a huge chance at winning that one (even if he plays, they still have a chance as they proved tonight), nothwithstanding the result of the sixers victory in gm6, and then take it back home for gm7. just saying it could happen. 8 teams have done it before, so don’t lose hope yet cavs fans.
kumquatsrus - May 26, 2009
But What If We Win This?
I don’t believe in curses. Maybe you all should join me.
Delonte's Inferno - May 26, 2009
I’m with ya
Turkmenbashi - May 27, 2009
DONT GIVE UP CAVS FANS
IT AINT OVER TILL ITS OVER….STAY WITH IT. TILL WE LOSE 4 IT’S NOT OVER.
johnnyphoenix - May 27, 2009
I’m with you, too
