But I still didn’t really like Gilbert tonight… Just thought they looked better with him on the bench. Until that changes I’m gonna hope to see more Boykins out there.
Awesome win tho.

I feel like i did after the Dallas W like we could take on all comers. I really don’t want to see us revert back to whatever we were before.

Cavs fan but, congrats! Missing Shaq and Varejao was to much to overcome as the game wore on and hurt the Cavs on the boards but oh well injuries happen. Mike Brown kept LeBron out to long at the start of the 4th quarter also i think, i was surprised by that especially being behind.
Well, good win Cavs are still better though when it matters. I know most of you won’t be able to take criticism but, your team as is can’t get by in the playoffs to many individual players. Cavs aren’t the best team but, Wizards can’t get by them or anyone else in the playoffs without trading one of the big 3 for someone that can involve the whole team.

Miller was really good. What impressed me most of all was that on several possessions, he was the one who was initiating the offense, rather than a point guard. Driving, dishing, cutting, rebounding, hustling. And taking and hitting shots. That kind of effort can be contagious. Let’s hope it continues to spread.

Offensively Jamison looks capable if a 40 point game. (he had 50 at Golden State)
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.
Bring the heat back I wanna give them some washington ak47 bullets

I though Jeff Van Gundy and Hubie Brown were pretty good together. Much better than Mark Jackson and Van Gundy.

As a Cavs fan, this was really frustrating to watch. It seemed like we had a good game plan coming into the game (12 assists on the first 12 baskets made!), but it completely fell apart. As a couple people have noted, it pretty much deteriorated to 1 v. 5 with LBJ trying to take over. Brilliant move by Flip to stick Stevenson on LBJ to entice him to try to do too much offensively.

Even though LBJ shot well (12-19), a lot of it came out of the flow of the offense, and he made some silly gambles that resulted in turnovers. Having said that, he was pretty much the only Cavs player that actually showed up to play (and even then, LBJ was playing some of the worst defense I’ve seen him play in a couple years). Pathetic effort by the rest of the team. Back-to-back may have had something to do with that, but there is still no excuse for such poor execution and energy when we know that Wizards always play us tough in D.C.

Oh well, I won’t stress too much over this loss. Its not a good barometer for how we are performing as a team. It seems like Wiz-Cavs regular season games have very little representation of the overall team success (see 2-2 last year).

Btw, I still don’t understand how half of Jamison’s shots go in, but they guy is a straight beast.

Flip still has work to do integrating all of his offensive weapons. Winning 65% of the remaining games should be the bar for this team.

Up next: Who’s going to contain Durant? Will Flip trust Blatche in this game?

Gilbert is a streak player – goes super hot then super cold. Always has been, probably always will be. Right now the ups and downs are more pronounced. They will smooth our over the season with experience in the Flip Offense.

If the Wiz are able to crawl out of there hole and get a playoof berth they will need a healthy motivated Gil to succeed. When he gets hot he is still the best one on the team to win the game in the end – particularly a road playoff game.

Gils performance, style and antics make him a lightening rod for praise and criticism

Icing his wrist in the locker room after the game, James noted a 35-15 discrepancy in foul shots that favored the hosts, saying: “They definitely got to the free-throw line way more than we did. We feel we attacked at times, and we didn’t get the whistle.”

Blaming the refs, huh? Maybe you shouldn’t have jacked up 20 foot jumpers all night, might that have had something to do with it, 1 on 5?

There was a TON of anti-Antawn talk prior to the season. He’s always been my favorite player because of the professionalism he brings to the game. So … how about a few “I have to admit I might have been wrong” comments?

Ou guys as Wiz fan. Chill out! Its early, very early. We have our pieces back. Trust when I say. We have the best team the wizards have ever seen.

I still think Gilbert will come around (he contibuted mightily in Q3), but EG looks like he plucked out a winner when he signed Boykins.

One game at a time and all, but you have to feel better about the Wiz now than a couple of days ago, yes?

Both Michael Lee and Mike Jones’ post-game reports mention Stevenson Bobble-Hand figurines handed out to the crowd. Anybody got a picture of this?
