The Optimist Heading into Game 3 of the Finals

HELLO, CLEVELAND!!

I’m the Optimist – that guy in the Elvis hair – and there shan’t be any international greeting today. I went all "Nigel Tufnel" on you because we’re back to the motherland for Game 3. And I’m ready to absolutely blow the freaking lid off The Q tonight! If it rolls down Huron Ave. and smushes a few dozen fans, so be it for the greater good.

Even though we’ve just been through two of the most heart-pounding contests in Cavalier (and NBA Finals) history, there is NO time to decompress.
