Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread

Well you can look at it two different ways. The first is that they wouldn't have had home ice because they wouldn't be playing, or they wouldn't have had home ice because if we had moved on we would be playing the Penguins, and seeing as how they had a higher seed than us they would've had home ice. I think it's the latter.

Exactly

Halftime of the Wiz game. The Cavs are up by ten. Things were going pretty close and smooth but the Wizards unraveled in the second, missing shots and not holding them on defense. They are gonna have to turn things around if they want to win this game.

Cavs scored 30 points in the 2nd quarter. Wizards had built a nice lead, as you say, but then totally fell apart. This is a must win game

down by 4 with a minute left. That's not a huge lead at all.

I hate the Cavs. Hate 'em.

LeBron beat us the one way we haven't really prepared for. He drew the attention to himself...and then gave up the big play for someone else to make.

We're getting out hustled big time.

Good news is 3 outta the 4 Washington pro teams are playoff caliber. Bad news is none of them can get outta the first round. Damn it. SS is right about getting outhustled. It was frustrating to watch today.

what im getting tired of with the wizards is really no improvement since we beat the bulls in the playoffs. 1st round and out most likely 3 years in a row now, hopefully we can come back but this team is treading water

Wiz's Haywood says LeBron should stop complaining about rough play

Overrated hasn't worked. Now one of the Washington Wizards is calling LeBron James another name: Crybaby.

Following Cleveland's 100-97 win in Game 4 on Sunday, James, who has absorbed two flagrant fouls in this rough-and-tumble playoff series and has been banged around by the Wizards, was asked about Washington's tough-guy tactics.

"I guess that's what they want to do," he said, "hurt LeBron James in this series. It's not working."

On Monday, Wizards center Brendan Haywood, countered.

"Awww," Haywood said, in a whiny, high-pitched voice to mock James. "They are trying to hurt me. He wears 23, he wants to be Michael Jordan, I can respect that, he's a great player. You saw what Mike went through. Mike got fouled way worse than this. No one is trying to hurt him, everybody is trying to play basketball, trying to play tough. Play basketball and leave it alone."
