Tonight is the night.

We win this one, and we break the Lakers spirit. We win this one, we definitely win one of the next two.

We put this one away, and the Cs can contact the owner of banner factory.

That makes tonight the biggest game of the year.

I know it is for the Lakers, too.

I know the national media expects us to bend over and grab our ankles.

I know the officiating is gonna get ugly.

But the disrespect for the Cs has put them in a foul mood. The rims, the refs, the wheelchair, and Thibodeau Spygate is now followed by being 9.5 point underdogs, even though we were 2.5 favorites in game 1 and pick ‘ems in game 2.

I expect our boys to come out determined.

Tonight is it and they know it.

They won’t get another opportunity to go up 3-0 again.

The coffin door is laid over the deceased with a win, and all that awaits is the nails with the fourth victory.

They need to get it done.

ZoSo,

I believe that we were ONLY 1 point favorites across the board (maybe 1.5) before tipoff in Game One.  We were actually 2 point favorites on OPENING odds, but 1.5 point underdogs on OUR home court by tipoff of Game Two.

This type of disrespect (making us 9.5 pt. underdogs and the lines for games 1 & 2) might just FIRE us up for Game 3:-))

I think being underdogs, especially 9.5 pt underdogs, is going to fire our guys up even more and take any pressure off of them.
