UPDATE: Fabricio Oberto is out tonight with a hamstring injury, says Flip Saunders.
The good news? Cleveland is coming into DC on a second night of a back-to-back after struggling to put away Golden State last night, while the Wizards haven't played since Saturday.
The better news? Shaquille O'Neal, who killed the Wizards when these two teams last played, will not play due to a shoulder injury. Some are speculating that maybe he's sitting to avoid having to talk about the Gilbert Arenas fiancee rumors, because the Cavs are being pretty coy about his specific injury. Nevertheless, he's out.
The even better news? Anderson Varejao, perpetually a thorn in everyone's side when he plays, will also miss tonight's game, as might Jamario Moon. As we all know, Cleveland's also without Delonte West.
The even better news? The Wizards are healthy. Randy Foye is officially listed as questionable, but he's expected to play according to Mike Jones. The Wizards' expected seven best players (Arenas, Jamison, Butler, Haywood, Foye, Miller and Blatche) will finally be on the court at the same time this season.
The best news? Sam Cassell turned 40 today. Happy Birthday, Sammy!
The bad news? There is none. This is a game the Wizards need and it's a game that's ripe for the picking. A win will be a huge confidence boost; a loss will be a big downer. I'll never talk about "must-wins" in November, but this one is important. Very important.
GO WIZARDS!
(Oh, and Cavs fans, relax. The CrabDribbles thing is a joke. Let it go).

Don't let them off easy
Wiz fans just dont like the crab dribblers. Especially when you log onto the WWL and see this article about Bron-Bron.

LOL
Can you see LeBaby playing Pro Football….. ?
I can see the referees giving him a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct (for pulling his helmet off and checking his lip for blood) every time someone hit him….

All the odds are in the Wiz's favor
If they can’t pull of a win tonight, I think they can officially be written off as scrubs.
Is referring to the Cavs as “CrabDribbles” really the BEST you can come up with? Is this what NBA basketball has been reduced to in our nation’s capital? I would say you are focusing on the rivalry too much, but I think the Wiz need to at least put a decent product on the floor before this can truly be a “rivalry”
Well hey, just focus on the positive…. Gilbert Arenas can only be dignified for so long. Its only a matter of time before he’s back to being an attention hungry sideshow and providing some non-basketball entertainment for Wiz fans

Re: Crabdribbles
I don’t mind it at all, or blame you for losing it-it’s one of those times where a perfect storm is created for a sports insult. It’s absolutely amazing. Sometimes I forget to get mad because I’m in awe of the sheer perfection of it-it combines so many things about what drives this rivalry so incredibly. It’s the Nautilus shell of sports insults.

3.5 is the over-under
on how many times LeBron scowls and/or argues with the referees, about a “non” call.
1.5 is the over – under on the number of times James touches his lip looking for blood.
I say OVER on the referee argument/scowling
I say OVER on the looking for blood
What say you BF community? Weigh in. What’s your prediction – over or under?

Agreed...
He creates match up problems for most teams, but especially the Cavs…
They’ll either have to play LeBron on Jamison, or JJ Hickson, or Darnell Jackson (who???)…… I hope they play James at PF, …it will make him work on the Defensive end…

that Saunders wants to get Blatche warmed up and make sure he doesn’t sit the entire quarter, and Jamison is playing so well right now he can’t get taken out.

Great awareness by Haywood
to pull his legs off the baseline as soon as he touched the basketball. Hubie’s making an interesting point that the Wizards need to start getting him involved offensively. I’m sort of inclined to agree but Jamison is killing it right now.

Wiz did what they needed to and got back in it. Now they just have to play hard for 24 minutes. They need to push extra hard though to get a decent lead so the Lebron crunchtime automagic fouls at the end won’t matter.

but I’d like to see a little more ball movement out of Jamison in the second half. He’s been shooting fairly well, but he’s also been shooting pretty much as soon as he gets the ball.

I don’t know about any of the others but that’s part of the game….they started coasting after the 17 point lead and fell asleep….the Cavs deserve this loss

why is stevenson in the game when it’s getting down to crunch time

Are you watching the game?
He’s forcing James into some terrible decisions.

This is why we have DS
he plays above average D on bigger 2’s and 3’s and does little stuff. I don’t care if he gets burnt by bynum or Gordon thats not his role. I realize how bad he has looked at times but people should lay off him a bit.
by BayAreaBullet on Nov 18, 2009 9:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Overall I think the “it’s not a rivalry if one team keeps winning” people have a point, but you can’t watch how James behaves with Stevenson guarding him and not think he cares about these games.

(PDCavsinsider via Bomani Jones), he’s had a hurt left wrist for a few weeks but the dunk may have aggravated it.

Okay, I should probably take that back
The rest of the Bullets Forever folks have a lot more class than I do and I have never seen anyone here celebrate an injury. However, I can’t help but relish a guy hurting his hand while trying to sock it to the Wizards fans and players to put a damper on a great victory. IF that’s wrong, well then I don’t want to be right. Besides its a hand injury not a serious leg injury, and the guys worth like half a billion dollars so no member of his family will go hungry if he can’t play 10 or 20 games.

Deshawn obliterated the Queen on defense.
I kept telling every1 stop flippin out wait til we get all our players back. No one listened. Now they listen.
