"All Together" Keep the Faith

            The fallout from the Cavaliers Game 5 loss is unreal. The City of Cleveland has resorted to its usual woe-is-me attitude. The anger and disappointment is interfering with their thought process. The series is not over.  I repeat it is not over. Maybe they figure a little stress will make you enjoy that Title a little more. Whatever their thinking is, the Cavaliers need to step it up because now its Win or Go Home.
            I along with everyone else figured that Game 5, at home, would result in a Cavaliers win. Coming off the less than stellar game in Boston on Sunday we all thought LeBron would come out angry and determined to take control of this series. I mean it could've been potentially his last game at home in a Cavaliers uniform. I hate to say it but we were wrong. LeBron looked dis-interested and uninvolved the whole night. There were shots of him standing on the perimeter while his teammates were battling it down low. You can't let a veteran team like the Celtics come in to YOUR house and play their game. You will lose, and lose badly. The Cavaliers did not play their game. In fact it looked the whole night like they were confused on assignments and scared to shoot. Tentative play does not win games. Boston came out ready to play. A veteran bunch, they knew how important of a swing game this was. They executed and outplayed the Cavaliers the final 3 quarters.
            So now we move on to Game 6 in Boston. This is it. Win or Go Home. You have the right to panic, but chew on this. Let's go back to 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers down 3-1 against the mighty Detroit Pistons. Do you recall what happened? Backs against the wall we won the next 3 games, including Game 5 when LeBron went off for 25 straight points. At the end of the day you have to shake the negative woe-is-me attitude and BELIEVE. If you keeping bringing up past failures and curses you will never win a thing. Its starts in your head.
             It is time Cleveland. Its time to Keep the Faith and shake the woe-is-me once and for all. It is time for us to stand "All Together" and back this team. You came this far, why turn your backs on them now?
