i saw Vlade Divac congratulating Jeffries after the game....


there is a way to teach the wizards to take a charge or to stand close to lebron like that on teh mystery charge. You just drive as hard and as fast as possible. Lebron is big enough and can jump high enough he would pretty much catch a wizards head/body with his hip/knee, and the officals could pretty much do nothing other than call a charge (unless of course the wizards got hurt then it woudl be a technical). the other way to keep them from standing close is to bring yoru elbow all the way through the jaw....

Im not actually suggesting that we use lebron to really badly physically injure the wizards, just someone else strong and teach them a lesson....
 
Tale of two halves in this game. Cavs had a Golden oppotunity to put the Wiz down, and I guess they didnt want it. Pathetic 2nd half.

It seems the Cavs require more growing pains, maybe a 7 game series will be good for the teams/LBJs growth. Its a 3 game series now, Cavs with the homecourt. I think the Cavs will still win, and its not so bad, im in no rush to play the Pisstons, perhaps the Cavs need these extra games to prepare for Detroit.
 
Im going to call the turning point of this game the Gooden blown dunk followed by the Gooden blown rebound. Drew was actually playing pretty well till that point but it was all downhill from there
 
I guess all the Wizards whining and crying about officiating paid off. 40-25 advantage on FT attempts and Cavs whistled for 34 fouls compared to the Wizards being called for 21.
I can never believe how NBA refs continually can fall for players flopping and give them foul calls. Jeffries and Arenas have been masters of it in this series. Arenas initiates contact on every drive through the lane and gets the call 99% of the time.

The biggest reason the Cavs lost this game though was probably their terrible offensive system. You can get away with it more in the regular season but the playoffs are a different story. When the Wizards have decided to give effort defensively they've been able to do a good job of shutting down the Cavs offense.
After the season Mike Brown has to completely overhaul his offensive philosophy and install a new system. There is very little ball movement and motion in the Cavs offense which makes it much easier for teams to defend.

LeBron incredible once again tonight. Nice bounce back from Flip although his D was pretty poor. Z needs to step it up. Cavs need to look to him and he needs to produce better when given chances.

Frustrating game and now Cavs need to come home and beat these whining floppers.
