Nothing more needs to be said. Without Songaila, Haywood needs to avoid foul trouble tonight. We need to get out on Gibson and West like we did last game. And lastly, keep LeBron out of the lane as usual. Getting something from our MVP this year would also be nice.
There's nothing more to say. GO WIZARDS!

Pessimism
Go Wiz, but I have a feeling they’re gonna lose tonight. Unless Caron goes off, we’re in trouble. I’ve been wrong many times before, but I just don’t feel good about tonight. It’s mainly because my heart was ripped out in Game 4.
Please. Go Wiz.
Here
No choice to be optimistic. Who else is here? Don’t be shy, I know you all are watching.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Good, assertive first move for Antawn
We need that
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
This is so silly
They called a T on West for THAT? Geez.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yea....
That was ridiculous. That was the first foul of the game they called…so they were letting them play…but then they are trigger happy on that tech?
I hate to get all Doug Collins here
but I think that “last 2:00min of every quarter” thing will also play big for the Wizards.
Definitely
That’s how they lost Game 4 … messed up in the last two minutes of the second quarter.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Great help defense by Blatche
And nice offensive move on the previous end.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Gibson made a great shot
But yeah, not cool how the other four defenders fell asleep.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
How was that foul on Haywood?
Wasn’t it on Blatche.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Dammit
Good thing there’s a TV timeout here … we needed one.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
This is painful
I’m staffing a training that finishes up at 9PM. I have no video, no audio, and Courtside Live on NBA.com is slow in updating.
This CANNOT be the team’s last game of the season. I spend way too much time focusing on them to the detriment of the rest of my life to let it end like this.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccc….
What the hell was that?
Stop shooting threes! What the hell is this.
Why is Roger Mason guarding LeBron????
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
what the fuck is going on?
Over 5 minutes without a fg? 13-0 run?
There we go
Time to be the franchise player, Caron.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Cut it to single digits
That needs to be the goal
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Big bucket
Okay, eight points. Could have been worse.
Wait, technical on LeBron!
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
weird
they had a good first quarter with a sloppy ending, and than a cold-shooting 2nd with a decent ending (counting the James technical).
I mean
I’d rather beat Cleveland with LeBron than without him.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
So, um, little help?
If LeBron got T’ed up, how come there hasn’t been a free throw?
Nice block from Jamison!
Bullets Forever: Your home for blogging on the dumbest team in the history of civilization.
This is pathetic
Run the offense. Come on now.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Mason needs to get out of there
If he isn’t shooting, then he does nothing.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Daniels back in
Finally
Bullets Forever: Your home for blogging on the dumbest team in the history of civilization.
gonna take a miracle boys.
guess there is a reason we havent been eliminated on the road in 20 years…
Getting buckets since 2003.
I have less hope...
Than when we were down 5 late in the previous game.
Is there a reason for me to feel otherwise?
no
the team is dispirited – you can’t win when you are conceding in your head that the other team is better.

maybe that's a bit overdramatic
but still. You can see how frustrated CB is.

Yeah, I hate the body language right now

They're mistakening cause and effect
ESPN is talking about how Caron developed no rhythm, but if his teammates could hit a shot, it would have given him more room to operate. That, more than anything, hurt Caron.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Yea...but then you could argue
That a strong start by Caron would have set some rhythm for the rest of the team.
To follow...
It just doesn’t leave me with a good feeling thinking that Caron has to depend on the rest of his team for his rhythm.
Well, we're just LeBron James's bitches
Simple as that, really. King James puts up a triple-double to silence the stupidest team ever, the boys who dared to talk smack against the team. Remember how embarrassing it was to be a fan after that first Celtics game this season? Yeah. It’s gonna be a looooong summer.
At least our team is on the map now. Instead of being invisible, now we’re the dirty punks who can’t back up their smack talk.
I need a drink
This season, and this series, has been too stressful. Great season guys.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Ha! Good one!
You mean gut check from Cleveland fans hoping they don’t gloat too much, right?
DeShawn Stevenson is no longer the Lock Smith….he’s the Egg Beater…because it’s all over his face.
(ok, that’s unjust…...it’s on the team….but still)
whatever
we didnt lose b/c of DS or anyone else who talked smack. We lost b/c we can’t defend the 3, rebound, or sustain offensive continuity against a decent defense. (and mabe we lost b/c of a hobbled Gil and CB3 but that’s just an excuse)

if there was no trash-talking
the story would have simply been, “Again, the Cavs beat a weak Washington squad.” No one outside DC would give this team props for anything.
If we won
We would have looked like dicks too.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Ehh
Guess it doesn’t bother me near as much. I would have certainly like to see more professionalism…but admit it. We have a goofy team.

Let me check out the WashPost Insider
where I’m sure the “Trade Gil!” and “Fire Jordan!” calls will be in full force.
All I have to say is this: some teams (cough, Miami, cough) folded like a lawn chair when they had key injuries. These guys kept pluggin’ away.
Wizards Insider
Is filled with some of the most negative Wizards Fans people on earth…...
Fire Eddie Jordan? That’s crazy talk.
And even though Gil pisses me off with his immaturity….I have faith in him and you’d be crazy not to want him back.
Yea, is this frustrating? More than hell….
But we should feel privileged to even make the playoffs…FOR A 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR!!!!!
