The Essentials:
Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Game 4 (Cavs up 2-1)
1 p.m. (That's 8 p.m. if you're in Israel.)
ABC
Key Links (drop any others in the comments)
This rivalry just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
Akron is hatin' on DC now.
Arenas will try to make a go of it today.
A nice profile on Haywood.
Today's Lines
Cavaliers at Wizards: Wizards by 4
Over/Under on Total Points: 187
After all of the hijinks and craziness of the first three games, this is where the series takes a turn for the serious. With each team trading beatdowns on each other, everyone's gotten their laughs and whatnot out and it's time to focus on the games, and it's a good time to do it, because like every best of seven, Game 4 is key. If Cleveland wins they're only a game away from clinching, and if Washington evens it up, we've got a whole new series on our hands. The team that can settle down and play their brand of basketball today will get the W and set the tone for the rest of the series.
I'm predicting a fairly even, defensive battle like Game 1, just with the Wizards pulling it out at the end. If the Wizards can keep the focus on doing what they do and not getting caught up in trying to be something they're not, they should win today.
This is an open thread, so debate how bourgeois or un-bourgeois the dunk contest is here.
GO WIZARDS!

Mike Wise
also drops a column on the Jay-z /Club Love/Damon Jones smackdown on DeShawn. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/26/AR2008042602240.html
Seriously though, this game (and series) is basically the litmus test. If this version of the Wiz fails, injuries notwithstanding, then I don’t see how we stand pat this offseason.

Just want to let everyone know that this 49 year old white guy is joining the boycott of Park and Love. They will never get my business again! I’ll find somewhere else to do my clubbing.

Ha!
Not only will I join the boycott, I’ll one-up it and make it a lifetime ban. Not only won’t I go to Park or Love in the future, but I’ll use my nerd powers over the time-space continuum to boycott them in the past as well.
There. Done. How do you like that, Park and Love? I spent all my money in brew pubs and sports bars instead.

that was fun.
this half is the season right here. We arent winning 2 in cleveland. Put up or shut up time. Thing is, we can totally take this team but unless we want it more than them it’s just not happening. I’d like to see Butler put the team on his back. (I’d even say Arenas but he is godawful today). We need our own hombre to match Lebron – and let’s face it: he may be a whiner but right now he wants this game more than anybody else out there, and that’s the difference.

Not that I care all that much. It may be time for new leadership. Jordan did a great job but I’m not sure he’s the man to get them over the hump. We’ll see though – one more half to play.

Meh
I don’t think Eddie’s coaching is the reason we’re down 10. It comes down to rebounding and turnovers, neither of which have changed with different guys on the floor.
His only mistake is playing Arenas too much.

Those two layups
The ABC crew (mostly Tirico and Salters) are pointing to Stevenson’s flagrant as the turning point, but really, it was those two breakdowns in the transition defense.
I’d like to see Eddie ditch Gilbert and go mostly with an AD-Mason backcourt. We should also get Haywood involved more.
In the end, though, I think this half will tell it all about Caron Butler’s career. Is he simply a good second banana, or is he really a borderline franchise guy? He needs to be spectacular for us to win.

Ironic that he just hit a three, but he’s killing us on offense and on defense. I blame Eddie Jordan here. If he can’t stand up to his star and do what’s best for the team, he needs to go.

Gilbert's poor defense...
is pulling everyone out of position. I think he has a lot to do with the rebounding problem. That being said, my problem is not with Gilbert. He’s a gamer. It’s with Eddie for not putting our best team on the floor.

Not sure I totally agree
When LeBron hit that open three, there were three Wizards in the paint, yet Ben Wallace tapped the rebound out for another shot.
It’s also not like LeBron is penetrating. He’s mostly shot jumpers today.

What about those horrible rotations he had in there
IE having Songalia @ center….ive resigned to the fact that the wizards will never be more than a 5 seed as long as he is our coach….i have to give him credit for making us somewhat relevant again but we need someone to get us over the hump now
