Official Wizards vs Cavaliers Playoff Thread

Great way to start the game by the Wiz. Songaila giving James the backhand. I'm switching to the Comcast telecast because the TNT guys are annoying, I'm not argueing the call by the refs on Songaila but lol at the TNT old guy saying he threw a punch, if he thinks that's a "punch" then he needs to go watch a real fight. The TNT guy said he should've been thrown out lol. Either way we need to calm the f down.

anyone in the dc area who watches the wizards on comcast knows that buck and phil are very fair, non biased commentators. but this game they are really getting ticked off. songaila got a technical for getting his arm out of a lock by lebron and he gets a technical. buck and phil were perplexed. that really says something. also they complained about lebron overreacting to everything. the refs are really buying into the lebron bull and varejao bull (that haywood call was very bad). that being said, we are playing well. the cavs are doing their usual bs tactic of faking their way back into a game by pissing off the wizards with bs calls and the refs are buying it

Geez, 2 point lead going into halftime.... But Felipe Lopez up to bat with bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth.

I'd be more comfortable about this game if the Wizards didn't have 13 turnovers in the first half. That's ridiculous sloppy ball.

I kept arguing with a buddy of mine that this team was better without Gilbert...

We'll see tonight, but we've got a 3 point lead with 8:00 left.

They are better w/out Agent Zero, I'm sad to say.

Particularly a healthy Gilbert. Ideally they would play him at the 2, instead of point

But anyway....HUGE WIN

i think the different is that the wizards take better shots when GA isnt in the lineup. he needs to become more disciplined and play more with the team. hes a pg that averages a low assist amount. i think stevenson adds good balance to the team and i think he should stay in the starting lineup. however, AD is getting old and GA is going to be a free agent either this year or next right? didnt he opt out? either way a new pg is needed

Particularly a healthy Gilbert. Ideally they would play him at the 2, instead of point

But anyway....HUGE WIN
Big distinction there too...

Gilbert just doesn't have the confidence he does when healthy.

Great win! Time to take them down in our house.

I definitely agree with that, Buck and Phil are always cool and calm and they are very fair. I definitely would rather watch them than whatever big name is doing the show for channels like ESPN, ABC, or TNT.

Big win for the Wiz tonight, I was starting to get scared in the fourth because we kept missing all those shots but they pulled together for the win. It definitely is starting to seem like this team plays better when GA isn't playing, especially Butler. I know GA brings a strong offensive presence to the game but he still isn't making a strong impact on defense, and sometimes if he gives up a critical shot it affects his mind like in game 4. He said on his blog that when West hit the 3 he was thinking about that when he went up to try and tie the game and he wasn't fully concentrating and that's why it was a bad shot.

I'm also glad this team left it out on the court tonight, other than the penalty on Songaila for backhanding Lebron they played more calm than they have in the first four.
