Tony Brothers?

As long as we don't get Ed Malloy, I'll be ok with most referees... lots of refs are bad, but that dude has had some sort of personal vendetta to take LeBron out of games before (see Miami vs. Pacers back in like 2013 or 2014, where LeBron scored only 7 (?) points because he was on the bench all game).

Thank god early game for me 10 pm. Let's get 1st W.

I am calling my shot here:

Cavs win game 1, barely win game 2, Pacers trounce Cavs in game 3, and during the 4th quarter, Lance blows in LeBron's ear again, #the2ndwind, and this time LeBron loses it, and launches Lance into Dahntay's Jones's wife, Valeisha Butterfield Jones.

Dahntay snaps at Lance, and LeBron and Dahntay are ejected. The Pacers win Game 4 as well, but Mrs. Butterfield Jones's ex-fiance, rapper The Game, is there with a posse that deliberately injures Lance's ankle, so he's out for the series. LeBron is fuming at this point, mostly because he didn't play, but he comes out again, furious at reporters for referencing The Game's posse as a "posse," insisting that they be referred to as a clique. The jury is split, as is the series, as we head back to Cleveland.

Then Angry LeBron, which is my favorite LeBron, pretty much controls the action as the Cavs absolutely destroy the Pacers in games 5 and 6. JR gets hot in G6 and simply refuses to wear a shirt between games from that point forward.

Think we are going to come out with bad defense to start the game but with good energetic offense and then pick it up at half time winning by 12 points at the end.

I think this ends up being a very close game but LeBron pulls it out at the end.

We barely beat the Pistons in Game 1 last year. I think that game was practically tied the entire 4th quarter.

This series has a similar vibe to that one on paper.

Game 1 against the Celtics two years ago was back and forth as well.

Cavs trailed by 7 early in the 4th, and it was in doubt until less than 2 minutes.

Do not want that today, although I would be surprised if either Gm 1 or Gm 2 does not produce similar agony.
