They kept it close on purpose in the first half where we should have been up at least 12-15 points. 4th quarter shooting at the end was horrible and I don't know what Caron was doing but when he was on the court, he still wasn't on the court. He did nothing all game. As for Arenas, he played well until he thought he would be Michael Jordan. He should have looked to pass on those last drives to an open man but he didn't. Overall, we should have a much better game 2. Maybe if the refs didn’t hand cleveland the win, it would have been a blow out.

First keep feeding Haywood the ball even in the fourth quarter. Second stop shooting all those three-pointers and attack the basket because Cleveland has 37 freethrows to our 17 frethrows. Thirdly just stop making all those TURNOVERS . WE HAS 13 TURNOVERS TO THERE 8 AND THAT MEANS TROUBLE. Thats about it because we rebounded well and made a good percentage of our freethrows so it looks good so far! I have three adjustments after our loss in game one.

Granted we had our chances in this game. Still can steal 1 and swing home court towards us. bleh, we have to blow them out, we are just not getting any calls down the stretch to eek out any close games.

Stevenson needs to let the "hype" go and just play his game.. offensively and defensively (he has done a much better job on James in the past than he did today). You know (unless he is still hurt and we don't know that yet) you are not going to keep Caron out of the mix for very long and Songaila will hit all the shots he missed today. Jamison and Haywood had very nice games. I completely agree with ChenierFan's earlier post. We missed a bunch of open shots in a row and it rattled us. We normaly make those shots, and I have no doubt, we will hit them in game two. We need to get the one Monday to essentially give us home court advantage. I think the "jitters" will be gone Monday and the Wizards will have a "statement" game. We just caught the 1st playoff game shooting jitters.

He's too good down lower to waste his talents outside. And all our guards (except Daniels) are better at 3's than him. That's whether you look at tonight's figures, the year's, or career stats. Yes, I think we'll see Young Monday. Neither Stevenson nor Mason was hitting and Young isn't bothered by any expectations. Maybe he'll be looser. And if he gets going, he's a real weapon.
