Wiz are backed against a wall. They are gonna play like an injured animal, fighting to survive. Cavs must match that energy, and realize what going home to Cleveland up 3-1 would mean. Hope to see a total team effort from the Cavs for 48 minutes, not just Bron.

Cavs got to play calm cool and collected tonight. The Wiz whining, the game atmosphere, and what's sure to be a ton of hard fouls will all try to induce the Cavs into an emotional game, which means they'll be more likely to run with the Wiz. Since there have been plenty of BS calls in Wiz's favor, expect more of those thanks to Jordan's crying. Cavs can't get rattled (no pun intended).

I'd like to see them try the zone D and even some 3/4 court pressure at times. Just f*** with the what the Wiz expect to see.

Go to Z again early and try to get him going before the fouls rain down.

Keys for today

Cavs:

Match the Wizards energy. The Wiz will come out pumped, this is a must-win game for them. The Cavs are up and still have home court advantage even if they lose, so its tempting to just go through the motions.

LIMIT TURNOVERS. No turnovers means less run outs, which is where the Wiz have been scoring. In both Cavs wins this series, they've taken care of the ball and turned it over less than Washington. That trend will need to continue if the Cavs want to win this one.

Wizards:

Stop sucking. Stop whining.

Get Jamison involved more. Arenas will get his, but Jamison is going to be their key guy. They need to get him going if they want to win.

Up the tempo. The Wizards can't hang in a half court game with the Cavs, the faster the tempo, the better the Wizards chances. Also, a fast game will get their crowd into it more.
