Watching the game tonight
with my best friend/cavs fan. Any creative taunts you can share with me would be appreciated. I like the fact that this is Lebron’s seventh year, and he still hasn’t won squat. That makes him mad and worried that Lebron will leave.

in truth i don't really think JeBron Lames is going to leave cleveland
but it is fun to see the defensiveness and panic the suggestion elicits from cavs fans.

Right now
I think there’s just as much of a chance that Lebron stays in Cleveland as there is of him leaving. In the end though, I don’t think about it too much. If he does sign somewhere else, I’ll simply hate that team as much as Cleveland.

Hypothetical question
If Lebron signs with another team next summer, are the Wiz and Cavs still rivals?

I’m not saying the Wiz will win tonight because I am superstitious, but I do think if the Wiz and Cavs played six games, the Wiz would win one.

Well I need to get some sleep in Warsaw...
but I am thinking good thoughts… and I DO get the Suns game live Sunday, which is something to endure the work week for.
The way to win tonight is to run their big suckers into the ground, just keep sending waves of fresh bodies at ’em… Plus use our backcourt depth and, yes, size to maximum advantage…. let the crab king get his triple double but stymie the rest of them.
Is Ron Thompson really analyzing the Mike Miller shoes thing?

When Lebron comes to Verizon....
can we give everyone in the front row those mini fans so that chalk blows back in his face?
By the way, NBA, you only scheduled three Cavs/Wiz games
NBA fail.

Well, if Gil is still healthy at playoff time...
They’ll have the refs rig it so we lose enough games to face the Cavs first round.
No online streams to watch the game?

Great for us
And the rest of the NBA, but bad for the Cavaliers. Which means I love Shaq being there.
That was a fatigued cut by LeBron
Because he’s running around guarding Caron, he’s not cutting as hard. Even the move before, where he hit that turnaround, was slow.

I am watching on some Cavs Basketball station...
They are more fans than commentators. They are talking about Lebrons last shot while Caron gets the fastbreak dunk, as if it never happened.
Even they are happy when shaq subs though
Their color guy really bugs me

That's exactly
Why I (and probably the rest of you) really despise them and their ring leader (Lebron).
I'm loving our
Passing and willingness to get the ball to the open man/get the ball to the man with the higher percentage shot.
This is where the Wizards should have the advantage – the second unit….

Miller needs to finish that

If our team can hold onto the lead...
Then i’ll know the Wiz have made the complete turnaround to a contender.
The tenor of that quarter changed
Once the Wizards started running some plays for Caron. LeBron got tired and lost energy on offense, his teammates followed suit, and it was off to the races from there.

Cavs broadcast had a poll
“Which Wizards player do you dislike the most?”
The choices were Arenas, Haywood, and Stevenson
Early results had Stevenson with 70%, Arenas with 20%, and Haywood with 8%
No I don’t know what happened to the other 2%
I think if Wiz fans were asked that same question, Stevenson would still win lol

JaVale's played really well this year
He hasn’t played much, but he’s made an impact in every game he’s played.

Bad news
Three fouls on Blatche.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I liked that reach-in foul on Shaq though
Going after the ball like that let him know that his size doesn’t get him a pass in this league any more. You can let Shaq try to back his way into the lane simply because he’s 400 pounds. The other two… well, Dray needs to calm down.

Foul on Haywood?

i would stop the game, grab a mike, assemble both teams at half court and say that all complaints from here on out should be directed to me in email format…just click send…any verbal discussion concerning calls after a foul will result in techs….p.s. that was a terrible charge call on blatche
The hardest part...
Is that the wizards played this in typical wizards fashion. I dont mind losing… but having a large lead and letting it go. Forcing up shots… getting away from what created the large lead. Making a last second run to pull it to 5 then losing.
We need to get away from this formula.
gibson was still moving
how was that a charge when gibson was still moving refs are so tainted man frick…
Plus blatche had released the ball so long before that
That was the worst call of the night.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
One of the worst charge calls I have ever seen
Boobie practically dove in front of Blatche
i dont see how
the replacement refs could be worse than this, billy crystal and keanu reeves would be better than this
Ya, as we know
Crystal can determine within .1 seconds whether Charles Barkley made a shot.

I know the refs have something to do with tonight
But our inability to get to the line, coupled with our propensity to foul, it really hurting us now.

And the fact that we do not have a frontcourt built ...
to deal with the shaqs, dwight howards and the garnett/perkins/wallaces of the east.

Is this how it's gonna be all season?
A game where everything flows, followed by a game where nothing clicks after the first quarter?…

Referee loss anyone???? Go to Cleveland, you will get some of the worst calls in the world. My god that was agonizing to watch the ga—— scratch that agonizing to watch the referees.
true BUT
it has been a bit of a pattern with our big men getting lots of fouls early. oberto, i understand, but this must be addressed

Please Buckhantz...
For good measure rub in the lead the wiz blew once more

anyone think Mcgee could have helped with Shaq?

No, he was struggling a ton against him

i think
it was lot to do with the refs…but everything happens in stages, we played well early, hopefully next time we can continue that play longer and with more consistency….this is going to make me hate shaq and cleveland fans have no class (i.e. buckantz comments about when stevenson was dumped by shaq, and if they had a vote on who the wiz fans disliked the most on the cavs, i would vote a million times for varejao and 999,999 for the auto insurance attorney James, kirk, and siaonz.
Highly disappointing...
I’ve really always wondered why referees are protected by the league in an impenetrable shell. Ever since the Donaghy scandal we were promised more information regarding the referees and how they’re trained and scored. It really calls into question the fairness of the league and Stern’s interest in the league’s brand. Now, I understand the game is tough to call and call correctly, but when you favor some players over others… it makes for a lame product.
That being said, the Wizards got away from everything they did right in the first quarter. DEFENSE. CONTESTING shots. They weren’t spectacular on offense, but they played a hell of a game on D. Towards the end of the game Gilbert just broke plays and called his number way too much. He, and I’m calling out him personally, needs to get Miller into the game so that if the defense sags to him, he’s got a knock down shooter ready to spot up. Frustrating and I sure as hell do not want to be in the locker room right now getting an earful from Flip.
