Great moments are born from great opportunity.

And that's what you have here tonight, boys.

That's what you've earned here tonight.

One game.

If we played them ten times, they might win nine.

But not this game.

Not tonight.

Tonight we skate with them.

Tonight we stay with them.

And we shut them down because we can.

Tonight we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

You were born to be hockey players.

Every one of you.

And you were meant to be here tonight.

This is your time.

Their time is done.

It's over.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team
the Soviets have.

Screw them.

This is your time.
                  
Now, go out there and take it.

That is the infamous speech made by Herb Brooks before the US Olympic Hockey team went out and shocked the world by upsetting Russia. 

And I can't help but turn to that now, in the wake of Game 5 and heading into Game 6. 

Can't you see the similarity?

Down 3-2, we are the young up-start Americans to the established, championed Russians.

Their time is over. 

It's our time now, Cavaliers.

Now go out there and take it.

I move onward
The only direction
Can't be scared to fail
Searchin' perfection

On to the Next One.

After tonight, the Cavaliers are moving onward, on to the Second Round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs.  

On to the Boston Celtics. 

The Cavaliers handled the Chicago Bulls (does this make up for The Shot yet?) to open this year's Second Season, taking the series 4-1. 

In case you weren't paying attention, here's what you missed:
LeBron was LeBron.
Jamison and Shaq showed why we signed them.
The bench rose up.
Despite being the enemy, Rose is a sight to behold.
Noah's still not cool.
Four wins down, 12 more to go (knock on wood).

Boston, watch out, here we come.

On to the Next One.
