The Wizards Should Just Shutup
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 by Mike Franco
I really hope that the Washington Wizards have learned their lesson, especially DeShawn Stevenson and Gilbert Arenas. Â The Cavs absolutely destroyed the loudmouth Wizards with ease tonight 116-86. Â Perhaps DeShawn should have thought twice about calling LeBron James “overrated”. Â Seriously though how dumb can you be? Â Why would you want to piss off one of the very best all around players in the league right before the playoff series? Â Remember when the fans were talking mess to LeBron earlier this year? Â James just took over the game, the Toronto fans probably remember that. Â Speaking of overrated, what exactly has Gilbert Arenas done lately? Â I love Gilbert, but he has been in no position to say anything at all this year, especially to the team that has knocked him out of the playoffs for the past two years. Â
Game two was just as intense and physical as the first, highlighted by the flagrant II foul by Haywood on LeBron, with a small scuffle afterwords. Â Haywood was ejected, but it didn’t really matter because there was no way the Wizards were coming back in this one. Â Stevenson hit a nice three on James early on, and did the “Yayo” (waving his hand over his face), then Lebron immediately came right back, hit a 3, and did the Yayo right back to Stevenson, there was just no stopping him. Â That play seemed to epitomize how the series has been going so far, the Wizards make a play, talk some smack, and then LeBron and Cleveland just come right back and basically say “Hey, we are better than you.” Â
Now I still think that Washington can come back and win a couple of games, but there is no way that they are winning this series. Â I first thought that they had a shot to beat Cleveland, but after all the talk, it just is not going to happen. Â If Washington is to have a chance, their “Big 3″ of Butler, Jamison, and Arenas need to score more than a combined 28 points, last game LeBron outscored them by dropping 30. Â The bottom line is, don’t talk crap to LeBron, it’s just not a good idea, and to fire up such a dominant player is one of the dumbest things you can do.

Hey I’m a big cavs fan, but there is no way they are making it out of the second round this year unless the VERY unlikely happens and Atlanta and Philly win their series’ giving the cavs home court next round. And even with that, Orlando would have to lose in the second round to give cleveland home court in the eastern finals and decent shot at another NBA finals appearance. All that said, Cleveland still needs to make some deals this coming off-season to become a legit title contender and keep Lebron in cleveland for the long-term. What are the chances in your opinion that the cavs, with what they have to trade and their cap space, can land a big time scorer to complement Lebron? Specifically, Baron Davis or A.I.

I’m not really sure if the Cavs can land Baron, he’s had some turmoil in Golden State at the end of the season, but its been said he wants to stay in California. I think the Warriors will be able to keep him anyway.

[…] 2. I think it is now time to apologize DeShawn! Honestly though, shouldn’t these guys just shut their mouths and try to play the game. They beat you EVERY YEAR. Why add fuel to the fire? In game 2, Brendan […]
