Well I’m more optimistic than I was on Monday so I’ll go with the wizards. This team tends to surprise me when I give up on them. Hopefully they will rebound and Caron will show up for a full game.
interesting comment from today's WaPo chat
Michael Lee: Six, sir. It’s a TNT thing. They want to get the Celtics-Hawks on primetime. Who woulda thunk it? The Wizards have played so poorly that they get bumped by the Hawks for primetime. Sad times indeed.
that about sums up my feelings about the wizards play thus far this series.
i hope they turn it around tonight.

Oh snap!
Gilbert out for rest of postseason according to Washington Post Live.
I’m surprised at how surprised I am.
I swear I don’t want to get into this yet, but there’s no way Gil is getting a max contract next season.
I don't think even he expects that now
You can tell.
Hopefully he just doesn’t opt-out.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Eddie had no idea this was coming - he just found out
Man – I’ve been the biggest Gil fan, but this is just stupid. He can’t leave his team in the lurch like this! The dude needs to grow up.

Now that i think about it
I’m sure this has to do with his missed shot and overall poor play last game. Gil, in his weird way, probably decided that the team will be better off w/o him at 75%. Of course, he picks the worst possible time to make the decision. He should have decided that before the playoffs or right after the last game instead of just once again becoming the biggest story that doesn’t have anything to do with the men on the court. I love GIlbert. But he needs to learn how to act like a man. He has a franchise that relies on him, and he just doesn’t get it yet. I hope he does get it someday, and I hope it happens here, but Gil just isn’t making the offseason decisions easy for anybody.
I’m fine with it though – at least we know who is going to battle for us from here on out. Go Wiz!

I really have no idea what to say at this point.
Bullets Forever: Your home for blogging on the dumbest team in the history of civilization.
not surprised gil's shutting down
his p/t was creating havoc with the rotation (even though it provided a brief spark in Game 3). But making this decision before tip-off was kinda bad form.
Too many outside shots
They’re hitting them, but they’re allergic to the rim.
I long for the days of a healthy Gilbert. But everyone’s right, it’s really not okay to not tell your coach that you’re shutting things down. If he’s still here next year (and my guess is he will be, he’s not opting out methinks), he can’t do that.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
the. wizards. are. playing. very. carefully.
for the most part. You get the sense that they are trying to value every possession.
There ya go
Caron is really, really assertive tonight.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Oh, geez, here we go again
James overreacts to a hit (this time, one that he initiates) and the entire NBA comes to his rescue.
HOW DISGUSTING IS THIS?
I hope everyone that can is flipping back and forth between the TNT and Comcast. TNT is actually going along with the LeBron acting job. The all-LeBron love fest actually is causing me physical pain. The refs, the announcers… God that’s why we were supposed to win this series. Fuck man. Cmon Wiz, please win this game.
At the same time
That was a pretty dumb play by Songaila.
I have a dream that someone will at least recognize that both sides have been fueling this fire. When Marv said that the Wizards were doing most of the talking, that just did it for me.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
It was a total accident though
James in trying to pull his arm away actually caused Songaila’s arm to go into his neck….....LeBron (and the officials) completely overreacted.
A guy seated next to Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert.....
Threw a towel at DeShawn Stevenson…...security started to take him out, but Gilbert negotiated and they let him stay in the arena.
This was on Comcast….not sure if they discussed on TNT as I have the volume down on Reggie Miller’s puberty voice.
Certainly wasn't on TNT
I watched the whole game on TNT, so I only heard about it afterwards in Deshawn’s post game interview. If it was some random schmoe, I’d have no problem with it. But it was a buddy of the Cleveland owner, so it’s 100% bush league.
Makes me sick
I can barely watch when the refs call it like this. LeBron PULLED Songaila’s arm into his throat – DS did nothing wrong! And that towel thing is about as low class as you can get.

Of course, I would contest that
LeBron pulled Songaila’s arm into him….at least not intentionally…...but his reaction was classic.
And to think that I kinda thought LeBron James was a decent dude before this series. I don’t think I’ll ever like him again.
I agree KDP
I just logged on to make the same comment. Lebron hooks Darius’s arm, Lebron fake acts and gets the tech call. Comcast shows the replay from the other angle and you can see clearly what happened. I switch over to TNT and Marv Albert is calling it a punch, rambling that he should be ejected. Such BS.
Deshawn needs to shoot the pull up J and Caron better keep abusing Wally.
What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.
Darius did nothing wrong
TNT didnt play the other angle like Comcast. Buck is still pissed about the tech and flopping.

Well, Gilbert is out
I kinda expected that to happen.
From now on, Caron = Man
Gilbert = 2nd Fiddle…..a side show
I agree Prada
He should have taking every shot down the stretch last game.
What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.
It feels like we're losing by 20
The way this game is being called
excuse my gangsta
but if we go down, I hope DeShawn clocks the fuck outta LeBron as time expires. In fact, if he promises to do it, I don’t care if we win.
side note CARON IS ON FIRE. He’s pulling a Gilbert today. we’re coming home for #6.
Reggie
Reggie Miller, great player, terrible announcer. He doesn’t have any clue what is going on. If he calls Marv Albert marvelous one more time…he can’t even freaking say it without slurring.
Well this is the Caron of the beginning of the season
I like it. Finally someone shows up to play. He knows he’s the BMOC w/ Gil out of the picture.

yessir

I'm worried
That every shot is a contested mid-range jumper.
We can count the number of shots inside the paint on one finger. That has to change.

And nice penetration by Young. He may not have finished, but they need somebody to drive to the rim.

This was an interesting play
Nick Young attacks the rim with power, athleticsm, and control. I thought he drew a foul on Zydrunus but it turned out good for the Wiz anyway. What was interesting was Cleveland’s reaction (or lack there of) to NY’s drive. They couldn’t handle it. WE NEED MORE OF THIS!
Cleveland's adjusted
They’ve taken LeBron off the ball. That’s been big.

Phil is right
They seem to be focusing their defense on stopping Caron. If Jamison can pick things up, the Wiz could cause some problems

is it really that bad an idea
to play mostly man-to-man, let James get his points, but choke the rest of the Cavs and make them bystanders? Really, who else can create their own shot?
The problem is twofold
1. Nobody can even limit LeBron on this team.
2. When that happens, LeBron penetrates and dishes, or he just scores. At least this way, we’re forcing the other guys to beat us.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I agree
it’s just that I’ve seen enough Cavs games to know most of these guys can hit an open shot, so the “double LeBron” strategy won’t always work. On the flip side, I remember how they played without James, and the phrase “utterly pathetic” comes to mind.
I think too much of the Cleveland offense revolves around James, and that can be used against them.
I agree with the second part of your comment
I just don’t think we have the personnel to make them pay for it.
Our defense is pretty similar to what the Spurs did to him in the Finals last year. Problem is, we don’t have San Antonio’s personnel.

What? They don't have TV in the D-League? Don't watch me, watch TV.
Why?
Why is that the Wizards play to end a quarter. Dribble a few times and fire a 3. How bout a cut, or a screen, or a play. Something else.
I just wish Caron moved quicker
He waited until 3 seconds left to make a move. All you can do then is shoot a three.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
yep
the key is to mix it up. Don’t do the same move you just did the quarter before. Gil is good at mixing threes with drives or drive and kicks

Do you think...
That Gilbert would have “shut it down” if he made that 3 pointer last game and the Wiz ended up winning?
Gilbert is a riddle wrapped inside of an enigma wrapped inside of a mystery
Who the heck knows! I don’t even think its 100% the case that he’s actually shut it down.

STEVENSON!
He feels like if he gets the steal he can just shoot a 3. The WHOLE team was at the other end. 0 rebounders. OFFENSE!

Do'h!
third time this series Stevenson gets a steal, puts up a quick three, and watches it clang off the rim and into a Cav hand.
He's been terrific all year
(not to mention his performance in last year’s series). It’s good to see him get major minutes again now that the Gilbert circus has moved out of town.
AD is saving game

Where has Jamison been
Ben Wallace has played great defense on him, but he’s still missing wide open jumpers.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Does anyone else think
that the mental makeup of a team is a direct result of the coaching philosophy?
Self-confidence is just that, but the horrible decision making has to lay at the feet of the coach that doesn’t yank a player to let him know it’s unacceptable. Right?
Eh
I think you’re reaching a little bit.
If a coach yanked a player for every single mistake they made, he’d never be able to field a team.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
You have a point
But I remember when Doug Collins was “coach” during the MJ Era. It was so obvious who was running the show. In the case with EJ, you have someone unpredictable like Gil, but Gil isn’t trying to run everything like MJ.
Maybe not everything
But not telling his coach that he’s not playing until 70 minutes before tip-off is a bad sign.

YES!!!!!
Wow, my heart skipped a bit.
I was scared there. That looked like it was going down.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
OH MY GOD!
WHITE OUT ON FRIDAY NITE!

I sure hope Gilbert Arenas
Does not try to play on Friday…..not saying that this team is better without him in the future, but they are better without him and his injuries now.
true
The ratio of princeton sets to one-on-one changes drastically with Gil just in uniform. Doesn’t even matter if he’s in the game or not, at least to my plain eye.
Before I head out to calm my nerves
Was this the first Cavs-Wiz playoff game where we won a close game?
Wow
I just got home and saw the score. Thought it was a typo at first. I taped the game but won’t have time to watch it tonight. I’m thrilled Gilbert didn’t play. Can anyone give me a a quick summary of the game – what we did well and what not so well? If not I’ll wait for the TAI blog.
Sweet Irony
So not only do we win a close game in Cleveland in the final seconds, but we do it on a play where Caron clearly traveled. I guess I can stop calling Cleveland’s star LeTravel, at least until one of my Cavs fan pals comes up with a decent-sounding, similar name for Butler.
