Your Cavs Game Superstitions

[demondeacs13]

If the other team is on a run my superstition consists of repeatedly screaming, "CALL A FUCKING TIME OUT, MIKE BROWN!!!" over and over until said time out takes place.

This time-honored tradition occurs at some point during every game, regardless of my BAC, the venue at which I watch the game, or the people around me.

That's right, kids and parents. If you run into me at a bar during a playoff game...well, don't forget the kids' imaginary earmuffs. They will most certainly need them.

I don't touch anything cleveland or ohio state related all day long...wether it's cavs, browns, indians or buckeyes clothes, hats, pictures, cups, mugs, glasses etc...whatever it is i don't touch it...and if the clothes i want to wear are clothes enough to move by my getting said clothes, i don't wear those clothes for the day...yes, it's out there, and my wife has finally come to grips with it after 12 years. She'd bring me a cup of coffee in the mornings of a browns game and I wouldn't drink it because it's a browns or cavs coffee cup...same for cavs games or buckeye games. I need help.

When I was a kid, I don't play NBA Live before a game. When I do, they always lose! I don't know why but they ALWAYS LOSE when I play a game! Crazy!

I believe I have that same shirt you are describing - I'll take a pic when I get home. And that shirt is money. It hasn't failed me in a game I've attended over the last two years. If I had to guess I'd say I'm maybe around 10-for-10 with that shirt. My Mo jersey is also pretty reliable.

You'd know it's the same shirt if it has a white tag on the bottom left hand side that says

Cleveland
19 (emblem)70
Cavaliers

and has "Established 1970" top to bottom on the left hand side, in the middle is the Cavalier with his sword pointed to the right and a ball behind him. Bottom has Cavaliers in cursive then CLEVELAND at a slant.

It's my favorite shirt. Comfortable, fits well and looks awesome. I can't find another one ANYWHERE.

Take a break to look at porn, and hope that when I'm finished that the run is over. :chuckles:

Every now and then, the game just decides there is no way in hell it's going to lose to you. At that point, apart from ripping out the power cord yourself there's nothing you can possibly do. Chris Webber must have felt the same way about Dick Bavetta during Game 6 of the (02?) WCF. Coincidentally, when Lebron is in the zone everyone on the other team, every one of the other team's fans, and ever single family member of players on the other team feel the exact same way.

10 bucks says by the time you're finished MB still hasn't called a time out :chuckles:

My pregame ritual when I'm in Cleveland:

Subway at Tower City's food court...I sprung the cash for the Hard Rock once, and we lost. Never again.

I get streaky with jerseys too: Lebron alternates (Ketchup and Mustard, Maroon Cavfanatic) have pretty good track records, but I've been wearing a Jamario Moon shirt so far during both games of the playoffs, I'm thinkin' I'll ride that out and see how far it gets them

 

[Richfield Kid]

Forgot one. This year, every time Mo hits a three, I yell out MO!!!!! really fuckin loud. Nothing else, just MO!!!!. The last time I didn't, he went cold for an eternity.

Also, I've been watching every game this year on my 23" computer monitor cus it's HD. I have a new Samsung 46er being delivered tomorrow (woulda waited till fall, but if we win it all and I didn't have it, I would never forgive myself) If we lose game 3, I have no doubt in my mind it will be because I switched TVs.

 

[Magic Brownies]

sometimes i dont wear my cavs gear during the actual game, just before and after. if i need the luck during a tough game, ill smoke my lucky cig i have ready.

Anytime the Cavs are struggling or on the verge of losing we make our one roomate stand outside on the porch, whether its rain, snow or hail. We have been 3 for 3 so far this year.

 

[Lionheart]

I make sure that I:

- Wear a wine colored shirt, or my awesome AV jersey
- Won't slouch on the couch and just focus on sitting up straight yelling directions at my TV (because I want the team to be as intense as I am!)
- Scream louder than my buddies who are Boston, Washington, and Knicks fans

I sometimes do push-ups when a big play happens ('Bron throws the hammer down or anyone besides LeBron throwin' the hammer down), its how I deal with the adrenaline (or sugar) rush - don't judge me.

 

[Jezzar]

1. I turn the tv off during every time out.

2. When some player on the other team is shooting free-throws I take off my shirt and repeatedly say "You like that *Player name here* ?"

I do the second one only when I'm alone

 

[lbjames23]

In the Playoffs,I wear a LeBron James jersey..and before every game..I high five a Cavaliers poster on my wall and I say "C'mon...you can do it"

 

[Lumthemad]

During the playoff's when the game is on the line, i stand up. Perhaps it is because it would be something you do when you see a game live or perhaps, i'm just nervous as all hell. I also have a Devil Duk (squeaky toy) which must be in the room during the playoffs. He's been a lucky little part of the Cavs winning as far as i can tell, per my superstition.
Lastly, if the office i work at offers a "Cavs dress up day" i cannot be a part of it, as the 5 times i HAVE we've lost all of those games. No sir , i won't do it!
