WizBlog RSS FeedGame Day Cavaliers-Game Four
8:46 AM….Dave Johnson checking in….the dream sceneraio is a repeat lof the 2005 Chicago series—lose the first two in Chicago and then win four straight inlcuding the series clinching game six on Friday night at home. That still is one of my best memories in my 11 years behind the mic…..that Friday night it was just sheer joy in the streets…it was like Marid Gras on 6th Street after the game….it’s a great dream….to make it happen..Wizards have to do what they did on Thursday—share the basketball, rebound (which has been strong this series), and play TEAM defense….it is not about DeShawn or Caron vs. LeBron….it is about all five guys focused on the guy with the ball…this is something Randy Ayers stressed day one in trainig camp and very much applies now….BLOGCAST starts at 1 PM…hope you can join us….again we do radio and BLOG..you connect wuth us courtside….
12:10 PM….Dave Johnson checking in court side….waiting on starters……if Gilbert is good to go….I think he will start….but we will update when we have it.
12:35 PM…Gilbert Arenas……will start…..stevenson, butler, jamison, haywood,….west, szczerbiak, james, wallace, ilgauskas
April 27th, 2008 at 8:17 AM
I read those two articles yesterday; those are kinda hard to…interpret due to a lot of mixed information. It’s confusing - what were they doing, “club hopping” (two clubs are listed)…Don’t know, don’t really care. The media is awful; I knew how awful they were ever since Lebron’s “Jay-Z, Soulja Boy ” metaphor. If people read into the REAL comment, they would know that he actually said it in a way where Stevenson would be Jay-Z, while he’ll be Soulja Boy - the media “fixed” this for him. Did he even know what he was trying to say??
Anyway, it’s all stupid. If I could say anything, (if this is true) Stevenson should keep his mouth shut. Maybe I got too much pride, but I wouldn’t want to look bad because one of my teammates keep adding fuel to the fire. Ignore them. Show everything in your game because when it’s all said and done, if you can’t deliver, who’s left looking bad??
Maybe everyone should just look at that new MJ commercial or something…Gosh! “It’s Hova…” (What??) The same person who got crushed by Nas…I’m biased so in my opinion Kanye is better….I was on the “west” with (2)Pac and them….
JUST PLAY - GO WIZARDS!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Hmm, I think tickets for Game 4 are sold-out. I just checked online and they’re not available …
LeBron is going to bring it, but I hope his teammates stay dormant.
I sense Game 4 is going to be one of those classic Cleveland-Washington battles where one team that makes the last play wins the game. I suppose it’ll be winner-winner, chicken dinner.
Final Score Prediction: 93-90
April 27th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
I’ve been a fan of this franchise since they, and I, lived in B’more. Can’t remember when I’ve been more jacked for a game.
Stevenson and Mason got to hit their 3’s. And team D.
April 27th, 2008 at 10:26 AM
Team play’s the key.
For the rest I would personnaly I’d rather not have my name mentionned anywhere than being dissed… Anyway this is going way too far I just hope nothing stupid (like a fight…) happens on or off court you know.
At the end of the day it’s all about basketball so let’s play some good ball in front of our now great crowd
GO WIZARDSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 10:46 AM
LilGil -
I soooooooo agree
April 27th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
‘aight, back now from 5hours of beachvolleyball, finally summer is starting over here (gosh i think i’ll get a sunburn, heh)
READY TO RULE? READY TO RULE!
April 27th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Hello Everyone.
Just a few quick works.
First and foremost, I agree with Lil Gil/Bridge; This stuff is getting too stupid. I could say more but I think I would get kicked off for my language. (It’s starting to be like a bicker contest between two young ladies) If they are grown men they will settle it that way…
Now about game four:
We need that same energy that we had on game three. Defense will be key! WE keep penetrating plays, sharing the ball and play smart against any bs/calls talk that they throw. We could have this series, I believe we do. Together Everyone Achieves More (old saying but its true).
Lets kick some tail WIZ
April 27th, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Im excited about todays game…..the wizards can win this with good execution on the fast break, create turnovers for cleveland but also preventing turnovers for washington, and of course the wizards need the fans 2 win it also!! lets go Wizards!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Checkin in yall…just wanna say LETS PLAY GOOD B-BALL WIZARDS and lets do wat we did on thursday night. Goodluck and lets get some cavaliers behinds..
WASSUP BRIDGE, AND LIL GIL
April 27th, 2008 at 11:17 AM
12:10 PM….Dave Johnson checking in court side….waiting on starters……if Gilbert is good to go….I think he will start….but we will update when we have it.
April 27th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Oh, what-up Ant!
And stop saying stuff like “Where’s Bridge? I bet he’s mad…”
I’M A CHICK OK!! lol
April 27th, 2008 at 11:31 AM
wizards also gotta out rebound cleveland…..cleveland is a team that wins games from their 3, 4, and 5 guys being successful in securing rebounds on both ends of the floor…..i just looked at some stats and though jamison has increased his rebounding from his regular season stats by 4, haywood has gone down by at least 2.5, carons gone down by almost 2, blatche has gone down, and stevenson has gone down alot…..wizards averaged 41 rebounds per game at home during the regular season, and an average of 43 rebounds per win during the regular season
April 27th, 2008 at 11:34 AM
wizfan4life…..you said it…reboudning is probably the key to this whole series…we certainly can give them second chances
April 27th, 2008 at 11:34 AM
lol Wassup my man ant?? I hope everybody’ll be blogging today!!
April 27th, 2008 at 11:38 AM
startesr are in…gilbert arenas, stevenson, butler, jamison, haywood…..west, szczerbiak, james,wallace, ilgauskas
April 27th, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Will the Behemouth have his way or will the Warrior Kings rise up to take the throne.
The Sega continues on this day the 27th of May in the year 2008. The war has been fierce and unpredictable so the peoples of China Town await there heros once more before the final battle! The battle of the Ages continues at 1300 hours, theres a thin line between a hero and a zero so who will be the hero and who will be the zero! Hopefully the Basketball Gods will see it the Warrior Kings Way Once More!
April 27th, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Does anyone know where I can find streaming video of the game? I am stuck at work until 5:00. :((
Anyway, I think that this Jay-Z thing is going to bring the Wiz together even more, they are going to be more pumped up than on Thursday, and we are going to blow them out!!!!! Gil is going to side with DeShawn, and I WANT CHRIS & SNOOP IN OUR GYM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR SLIM CHARLES, HE IS A DC GO-GO ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GET SLIM CHARLES!!!!
Also, DeShawn finally did say what LeBron said to Drew Gooden. I think it’s in Mike Wise’s article today. Just that DS is a crappy player and that the Wiz are a crappy team.
I can’t believe LOVE did that!!!!!!!!!! Wow… I bet the Wiz are some of their best customers. Gilbert certainly is, but I guess Jay Z trumps Gil. Anyway, not sure what The Park had to do with this whole thing.
April 27th, 2008 at 11:50 AM
now people see that LBJ is a big mouth that would go as far as to get into a club and bust some one out who is not even there at least DS said it to LBJ… anyway there is a simple way to put his big foot in his mouth and thats to beat the dust outa the Cavs so lets go get it
April 27th, 2008 at 11:51 AM
But I agree that this has gone too far. And I agree with Bridge that if DS (and now the team) can’t back it up, we are all going to look bad.
I will be blogging and listening too.
boo hoo… can’t believe I can’t watch this game!
April 27th, 2008 at 11:52 AM
i know about listeniing online…you can click the link at the top of the page
April 27th, 2008 at 11:52 AM
We need to win this game and put more fear in the mind’s of the Cavs.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:02 PM
ABC announcers just said key for cavs is executing in the low post…….wizards need 2 prevent ilgazkus from scoring in the paint and from players like LJ getting easy layups/dunks…….haywood, blatche, songaila gotta step up their defensive pressure by boxing out, and not fouling
April 27th, 2008 at 12:04 PM
here we go gang…..
April 27th, 2008 at 12:04 PM
yeah Wizfan i think thats the reason we got the 38 point win last time is because we shut down the paint i dont think we are going to stop doing that we got to be ready from the start we cant let them get Z started
April 27th, 2008 at 12:08 PM
got to get thoise reboubnds
April 27th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
the sound on ABC is crap
April 27th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
cant let lebron get in and get that offensive rebound
April 27th, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Take it to the hole!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:10 PM
great play by stevenson
April 27th, 2008 at 12:11 PM
great pass 2 haywood!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
ahhhhh would have been great if we had secured that pass on the fast break
April 27th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Hey guys, just checkin in…good D to start.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Yea, too bad - Antawn was off balance.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Haywood looking great
April 27th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
there going under the screens on LBJ
April 27th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
yeah, great plays by haywood!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
ok we neeed 2 put more pressure on james, hes 3 for 3 on field goals and i dont think any of them have been really contested, meaning with so much pressure he has 2 adjust his shot
April 27th, 2008 at 12:15 PM
were lucky that shot went outta bounds, but we gotta shift over more qquickly on help defense
April 27th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Pointless turnover there.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I hope our bench is energized today again
April 27th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Those are ticky-tack calls right there. This is the playoffs.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
got to look to sure up the pass we got this and LBJ is still the only guy they got so far
April 27th, 2008 at 12:19 PM
great start—except for the turnovers
April 27th, 2008 at 12:20 PM
if i could match this radio to the TV i would be ok i hate ABC sound its choppie
April 27th, 2008 at 12:21 PM
im impressed that were preventing ilgauskus from scoring, but we gotta prevent james from getting rebounds, hes almost unstoppable when he gets an offensive rebound
April 27th, 2008 at 12:22 PM
glenn i agree with u that arenas needs 2 look 2 score more now, but i still think he needs 2 balance it…….i dont thinkk he should look 2 take every shot for the team or take shots that would be hard 2 make, so i think he should score and look 2 help others score at the same time
April 27th, 2008 at 12:23 PM
like that………bad pass by arenas, shouldnt have passed to him since he was so close 2 him
April 27th, 2008 at 12:24 PM
How is the crowd??????????????? Is it as loud as Thursday? Lebron drew a foul yay
April 27th, 2008 at 12:26 PM
i would like 2 see daniels and arenas play at the same time at some point in this game…..when they play at the same time daniels is great at finding arenas for good shots
April 27th, 2008 at 12:26 PM
dang haywood out
April 27th, 2008 at 12:27 PM
common blatche…lets see some energy
April 27th, 2008 at 12:27 PM
we gotta step up in the offence…!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:27 PM
wow 2 easy of a foul by blatche…..we cant make stupid mistakes like that
April 27th, 2008 at 12:28 PM
yeah w4l about blatche
April 27th, 2008 at 12:29 PM
glenn here i am with you wizfan4life….I agree, he has to take care of the ball but make himself more of a threat to score, not shoot every time, just a threat!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:30 PM
crowd is good…maybe not quite as loud but it is an early start
April 27th, 2008 at 12:32 PM
nice, we need to get jamison more involved.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:32 PM
hey dave and glenn……i still think the wizards should have a meet the bloggers fans day…..like they do for season ticket holders…..they should make it like if u have blogged in a certain number of games, then u receive an email confirmation and u can meet the team and get autographs lol
April 27th, 2008 at 12:32 PM
thats what you do AB
April 27th, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Yea, I like Jamison getting in the lane.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:33 PM
great 3
April 27th, 2008 at 12:33 PM
WOW. AND ONE please.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:33 PM
AJ wont be denied
April 27th, 2008 at 12:33 PM
wow nice shot AJ!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:34 PM
luckily james just missed a three, but butler wasnt even in his face…..wizards gotta get in their face on those shots
April 27th, 2008 at 12:34 PM
YEAH WIZ, that’s how i like it!
Haha, these two missed “100% shots” by cleveland gave me a good laugh
April 27th, 2008 at 12:34 PM
YEAH!!!!!! Jamison is PUMPED
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
yes offensive foul on james!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
yay home court advantage!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
How many fouls on LBJ? Two?
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
that was a payback call i have to say
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
HELL yeah!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
2 i know might be more
April 27th, 2008 at 12:36 PM
how many do they owe us? like 12?
April 27th, 2008 at 12:36 PM
he has 2 fouls
April 27th, 2008 at 12:36 PM
Finally getting some love!!! And our shots are fallin!! great so far
(can you actually believe that the queen went at the official again to talk about the call….)
April 27th, 2008 at 12:37 PM
WKPTD has the game in HD if you guys got comcast HD its got alot better sound to say the least
April 27th, 2008 at 12:37 PM
1st of all:
This whole little feud things is about as dumb as it gets. I mean, are you serious? This is BASKETBALL, not some neighborhood rap battle. I cant even believe all the people who have jumped on this: Jay Z, DAMON JONES? Who is Damon Jones to be saying anything to anybody. I mean, if he wants to call out Kwame Brown, thats his business, but he’s BARELY qualified for that…
Anyways, good start to the 1st quarter. i see the energy is up. channel all that into open looks and good defense. I dont too much care for all the turnovers, but I think once we settle down, we’ll be dine…
April 27th, 2008 at 12:38 PM
Wizards shot 78% from the field in the first quarter.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:38 PM
wizfan4life i saw your sugesstion of a bloggers party and it is a good idea…i promise i will see what we can do after the season…but i am serious it is a good idea
April 27th, 2008 at 12:39 PM
2 quick of a shot but good pass by songaila
April 27th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
thanks dave……just hope the wizards season doesnt end 2 quickly
April 27th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
bad call..
April 27th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
What did I miss, I had to work for a minute… imagine the inconvenience to me…. having to work at work when the game is on!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Cmon we need to raise our energy here. Get the crowd in it.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
bloggers party? heh yeah, plx ask gil if he pays my flight-ticket
April 27th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
need Haywood
April 27th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Verajao either falls down or grabs his face on every single trip down the floor.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:43 PM
gibson putting pressure on daniels….hopefully if daniels can keep up with him it will tire him out and prevent some points off the bench
April 27th, 2008 at 12:44 PM
great pass 2 mason……but i mean he still had a little time 2 setup that shot, need 2 be patient on shooting unless they r set up and squared
April 27th, 2008 at 12:44 PM
finally call that travel.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:45 PM
W4L - now he hit one. ROGER!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:45 PM
like that shot by mason…..he was set up and it was good!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:45 PM
interesting lineup…small ball anyone?
April 27th, 2008 at 12:46 PM
^ Yea really. We gotta get on the glass.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:46 PM
gotta rest jamison…and haywood and blatche wth 2 fouls.. and the wizards can succeed with this
April 27th, 2008 at 12:46 PM
your going to have to call him WF4L over here lol
April 27th, 2008 at 12:46 PM
I guess we’re going to try to push the ball even more now.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:47 PM
well small ball might be a good idea they got 10 7′ guys on the floor
April 27th, 2008 at 12:47 PM
look at the rebounding…….we r getting killed in that area……if we could just rebound more we can win this game by even more than we did on thursday
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
AD sliped
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
We have to reboun more but we’re too small (I mean right now Roger’s playing the 3…)
p.s: If gil could get my flight-ticks for that blogger party I would appreciate too
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
wow we r not executing on the fast breaks
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
dang i guess gil passed it so hard it made AD slip…=\
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
good d transition tos hurting
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
Great Defense. Lebron got away with steps on that possession too.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
CB3
April 27th, 2008 at 12:50 PM
nice, caron needs to get more involved too.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
way to pull that back in AD..smart decision.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
there shooting Jumpers are the Cavs
April 27th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
that’s my boys!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:51 PM
WOW. Roger has a TON of confidence right now. He looks like he did back in the day at UVA.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:52 PM
songaila looking 2 pass in this game, surprising because he does not usually act like a play maker……..oh yeah whats up with the fans at the verizon center?? i dont thinkk all of them r wearing white like they did on thursday lol
April 27th, 2008 at 12:52 PM
wow i feel bad for roger mason after they listed his family bio =)
April 27th, 2008 at 12:53 PM
2 easy of a layup for james, mason or arenas should have taken the charge
April 27th, 2008 at 12:53 PM
T that man up please.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:53 PM
That is RIDICULOUS. That was a foul on LEBRON.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:55 PM
if we could just get lebron 2 foul one more time he will be basically worthless for cleveland because they wont risk him fouling out
April 27th, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Isn’t that called cheating?
April 27th, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Their not going to call the 3rd foul in the 2nd quarter, you can bet on that.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:56 PM
dont tug his cape because he will walk to the basket for 2
April 27th, 2008 at 12:56 PM
foul was on LEBRON no question
April 27th, 2008 at 12:57 PM
ugh…. see this is what i cant stand. They know for a FACt that LeBron fouled. But they want an interesting game and an interesting series, so they’re gonna keep him in the game
April 27th, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Is EJ going to go ballistic? Or at least talk to the refs???
There is a funny video of LeBron walking to the basket on realgm
April 27th, 2008 at 12:58 PM
You’d think we’d get that call on our home floor, go figure.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:59 PM
They pointed RIGHT to Lebron then realized it was him, and called it on Wallace. That is nuts. What do they tell these refs before the game? Do they ‘prep’ them on how to call a game when Lebron is playing? Even Kobe doesn’t get calls like this.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:59 PM
how did stevenson miss that?!! it was so going in!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
dang on one guarding that 3 by west
April 27th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
ok we need to get a board.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
how was that a shot clock violation? i thought the cavs had possession of the ball when arenas snagged it?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
We need to wake up for the rest of this quarter.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:01 PM
lets not get sloppy. and im not too sure what Gil has planned….
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
bleh…figures
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
GIVE LEBRON A TECHNICAL!!!!!!!! he was storming right towards stevenson!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
here we go again…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
if they kick him out i’ll be pissed
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
DeShawn was definitely going for the ball.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
that was BS he was going for the ball
April 27th, 2008 at 1:02 PM
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
how was that a flagerant??!!!!!! he was trying 2 hit the ball and he hit most of it but when he was putting his arm down it landed on james!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
I can’t believe it…. Where’s the T on the queen for getting crazy like that?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
should have been a loose ball foul on cleveland right there when haywood was trying 2 get that offensive rebound
April 27th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
there was not a foul on butler
April 27th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
This is getting outta hand real quick. What is up with our turnovers? Gil is way outta sync and Eddie should bring Daniels in.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:05 PM
they let it get outa hand when they started to call the foul on James and switched it to Ben
April 27th, 2008 at 1:05 PM
We get flagrants and they don’t even get regular fouls as they kick us when we try to get rebounds!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:05 PM
I hope eddie lays it on the guys at halftime, because we are not focused.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:05 PM
ha! “going for the baLl” you all know deshawn knew his head was right there, that looked more like a punch than an attempted block..
sucks for you guys though…now lebron is pumped
April 27th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
gil is makin too many turnovers…i know coach ej gon get on him…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
^ Wow - shows what kind of fans the Cavs have. Go home troll.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:07 PM
cavs have 12 point off turnovers… and 12 second chance points..need to reboudn
April 27th, 2008 at 1:07 PM
well sucks for you guys you got a trick for a Player he cries more than my 2yr old
April 27th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
wait a second…. y are u here again?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
To me it seems like Gilbert can’t get a handle on the ball whatsoever.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:09 PM
blatche coming in 2 hopefully help on rebounding
April 27th, 2008 at 1:09 PM
Alright lets step up the D to end the quarter.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:09 PM
not a troll..i just cant believe you guys wont admit to yourself that deshawn was just trying to hurt lebron there
April 27th, 2008 at 1:09 PM
arenas took that shot WAY 2 early
April 27th, 2008 at 1:10 PM
omg… gil……… please sit him. i love him, but he had GOT to have a seat. i just have a bad feeling about this
April 27th, 2008 at 1:10 PM
Go away troll.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:11 PM
dang this 2nd quarter is like game 1 and 2 for us…….we started out great but then missed shots
April 27th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
man we need to D up…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
bad passing..and no rebounding hurtin
April 27th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
i agree marie……arenas is just not executing on his shots…..put daniels in for him and put arenas in when we have a good lead
April 27th, 2008 at 1:12 PM
We need a stop for our confidence here.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
uh - just fetch me something too eat, damn what happend here. GO WIZ :O
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
wow..immature guys….but seriously flop right there
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
wow almost half of the cavs points r from lebron james…….eddie jordan needs 2 fix that during half time
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
We’re wasting a home game right now… they’re not supposed to be aloud to do that in DC….
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
because he wasnt trying to hurt lebron. if he wanted to hurt Lebron, he would have either hurt him on the foul or he would have punched him in the face when lebron stepped to him. boo you….
And why are we rushing like this. Settle down, run the offense, and do what we do best. this is EXACTLY what we did in game 2
April 27th, 2008 at 1:13 PM
if i were you i would understand the fact that last night in a club LBJ and your cavs said stuff about DS as a man not as a player and he sould be beat but this is a game so dont try to say we are going to hurt you player becuase our team is not dirty
April 27th, 2008 at 1:14 PM
No more JUMP SHOTS sheesh.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Well, this third quarter is going to determine a lot for our season.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:15 PM
We’re letting them dictate the pace of the game, they’re playing the way they like it and that’s just totally wrong!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:16 PM
they better get some new haircuts for the 3rd quarter!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:18 PM
lbj didnt say anything at the club..damon jones did, get your facts right, i hate damon jones for saying anything bc he sucks..but lebron just showed in that interview right there why he is the only mature one in this ordeal.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:18 PM
need to play harder, better, faster, stronger (no pun on kanye west). gilbert needs to come out for the second half, he ain’t doin jack squat for us.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:18 PM
Yeah this is our season right here…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:18 PM
o yeah then why did he say stuff about DS to start with ?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:20 PM
why did he get Jay-Z to come to a DC club an make a Diss song that was not Jay-Z idea
April 27th, 2008 at 1:20 PM
this is win or go home.. i’m not talkin about goin back to the cavs home, i’m talkin about losin our season.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:21 PM
he said that to drew gooden in total confidence, then drew told stevenson what he said, then stevenson took it public..and im not alone in my opinion about that flagrant bc if your watching the halftime show, they think he shouldve been tossed. its also not lebrons fault that jay z wrote that song.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:21 PM
When your name is ‘nontrollingcavsfan’ - you are probably a troll in denial. Go away already. You are actually calling other people immature? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
And looking at the replay - it looked like DS got a piece of that ball on the flagrant call.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:21 PM
Hate to say it but Gilbert isn’t providing much tonight I’d rather see Antonio.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:22 PM
uh lets just settle down and finish the game.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:22 PM
yeah we need to win this game i hope EJ gets the guys back down off that hype becuse we know thats not helping us at all
April 27th, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Exactly, W4Life.
All I’m hearing is gloom & doom, work is making me miss every single play!!!!!!!! Maybe I’ll be glad I missed this game, but I hope not.
Come on, we can’t lose to the Cavs again!!!! Please, please I’m begging… I can’t bear it…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:23 PM
omg…i cant stand all this media. y are they making deshawn out to be some crazed villian who just wants to punch lebron in the head on every play? this is just distracting from the GAME AT HAND. Its already too emotionally charged, and we dont need more fodder…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:23 PM
lil gil ur right…i dont blame you at all but hey coach ej gon get em’..but you kno i think they can come out with a BANG and take this game away…we got this oh arenas gon come out with a better half
April 27th, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Yea - the coverage on ABC is absolutely ridiculous. Talk about beating a dead horse already. And of course Lebron is a saint and DS is the goat.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Is DS still in the game?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:25 PM
so if he said it.. he said it.. own up to it you saying its bad because DS was man enuf to say it out loud.. besides it over anyway i am not going to wasit my time talking to you… and if DS want to hurt him he would not have hit him a little he would have took him out.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:25 PM
The wizards just need to focus on playing basketball. Trying to box lebron and foul him hard everyday isn’t doing anything. This is why they lost game 2.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:25 PM
Eh the problem with the media coverage is this first round series is starting to feel like a finals like atmosphere for both teams. Whoever comes out of this series I don’t see getting up for the 2nd round.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:26 PM
alright gang…halftime..came at the right time…we needed a chance to re group….and gil needs to take shots in the rhythym of the offense…..but the keyb is rebounds…have to cut into that 10 rebound deficit…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Why would you say somethng to someone’s BEST FRIEND if you dont want it to get back to them? thats just dumb. secondly, Damon Jones isnt anything but LeBrons sidekick crony. You cant really think that Jay Z put out a song, Damon jumped on the mic, and all this went down and LeBron is totally innocent. Do Cavs fans really buy into that nonsense?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:27 PM
jason c interesting point..it has been an emotionally intense series
April 27th, 2008 at 1:27 PM
Only 1 assist in the 2nd quarter for the team, very much like game 1 fourth quarter, team struggled from the field.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Heh well I could see us getting up for Boston though…=)
April 27th, 2008 at 1:28 PM
DJ you think that Haywood is going to play with AB a little more i think that would help alot with the rebounding or at least it did last game
April 27th, 2008 at 1:28 PM
I know, they need to tell the whole story… report on what LEBRON said about DESHAWN to start the whole saga!!!! It’s so one-sided.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:29 PM
Yeah W4L I was wondering why EJ went to small ball instead of both of them
April 27th, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Guys let’s ignore the cleveland fan and stop talking about all this overtalked (don’t think it exists but…) story.
One can hope that awful second quarter was only an ugly quarter. “focus” is the only word I want our guys to be thinking about.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:32 PM
possib;le could see haywood and blatche together
April 27th, 2008 at 1:33 PM
y is gil still in?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Did anyone hear Hubie Brown say this:
“Deshawn was going for the ball but he hit lebron and that’s an automatic flagrant one”
April 27th, 2008 at 1:33 PM
yeah…gil should sit…he can’t keep up on D.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Did you hear the Lebron love fest at halftime. Come on, there are 2 teams in this
April 27th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Gil needs to come out.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Yea really - he’s a great player and all but its getting a *bit* gushy at this point.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
OH Thank goodness LeBron got a foul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
That’s a technical.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
whats wrong with this team start playing ball
April 27th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
omg what are we doing!?!?!? why wont we runt he offense? this is NOT the time to break down
April 27th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Down by 14. :(::::::
April 27th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Gil just can’t play and D…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:37 PM
We need to run the offense for sure.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
Caron doesn’t look 100% to me. I dont know what it is. We need to force some turnovers and get on the break.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
come on Gil
April 27th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
ok Gil earn your playing time pleasE!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
It’s just incredible how this team can all of a sudden play awful without ball movement without any kind of team ball…. incredible knowing that they get great wins when playing team ball.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:39 PM
man put in blatche and haywood, we can’t buy a board.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:39 PM
We need a huge boost. A little mini 6-0 run or something.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Are we waiting for the ball to finally fall in our hands?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:40 PM
they got in our head we need to let it roll off our back and play the game
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Jamison has 20, wow. He is giving his all, as usual.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
keep pounding it in…they have foul trouble.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
thats 4 lets go get it
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
I usually don’t say that kind of things but we’re collapsing right now….
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
yeah, gotta do SOMETHING..offence looks not that good, defence looks…well, where is it? :i
April 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
4 on Ilgauskas, yay
April 27th, 2008 at 1:43 PM
they just have to actually run it phemy.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:43 PM
GOOD call. He was clearly moving.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:43 PM
bonus for the rest of the quarter. need ot take advantage. and no z probably until the fourth
April 27th, 2008 at 1:43 PM
there u go Haywood
April 27th, 2008 at 1:43 PM
it should not have to be like this. good thing 4 fouls of Z. that could help us some. but we have got to crack down on defense and get this offense moving. some momentum would be nice.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Go HAYWOODSHAQ
April 27th, 2008 at 1:44 PM
6-0 run
April 27th, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Good defense guys. keeping us floating.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:45 PM
We have to run our offense… and if that means taking Gil out, then take him out. Love him, but if we can’t run the offense with him, he gotta go.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:45 PM
AIRBALL! AIRBALL!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:45 PM
just what we ask for guys we are back in the grove need to keep a level head
April 27th, 2008 at 1:45 PM
we have to CRANK THAT!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:45 PM
How huge has Brendan been…You gotta love him.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:46 PM
alright this is the time….do not want to be dowbn by ten going to the fourth,…there is 5:40 left in the thid..we have time to eat away
April 27th, 2008 at 1:46 PM
Im liking the way this is working. Defense has stepped it up. We have to get the crowd back into this. I forgot i was watching a playoff game at one point. CHEER PEOPLE, CHEER!! The guys need to feed off that…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:46 PM
What game is Hubie at?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Big shot!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
ok O is coming keep the D up
April 27th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
DS lets goooo get it
April 27th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
I don’t think that he needs to take Gil out because “he’s not really doing much for us,” I think he should be taken out because he’s not 100% yet - as fans, instead of blaming we must keep this in mind.
D-Song and Arenas are defensive BEASTS this game (from what I’m seeing)…
Caron should hold Lebron because he makes “the queen” very intimidated…
We just need to remain calm through all this; this network is crazy biased too
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
If I were at the game, I would be LOUD!!!
I don’t know about Hubie, I just read it on another blog. I was wondering if anyone else heard it. I can’t see the game. Only listening.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
DESHAWN!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
DS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
wizards stil got this!! LETS GO WIZARDS!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
nice hustle guys!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
Um - what is up with Mike Tirico ripping DeShawn at every opportunity? Ridiculous.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
NICE HUSTLE
April 27th, 2008 at 1:49 PM
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:50 PM
Mike Tirico is annoying me. Shut up about DeShawn already.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:50 PM
Okay, maybe I was wrong about Gil!!! (remember I can’t see anything… and I really don’t know anything, either…)
April 27th, 2008 at 1:50 PM
haha, deshawn was checking his hand, prolly couldnt feel it :b
April 27th, 2008 at 1:50 PM
WAY TO CUT THAT LEAD!!!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:51 PM
taking advantage of the bonus. just gotta make free throws now.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:51 PM
are we shooting FT’s the rest of the quarter?
April 27th, 2008 at 1:51 PM
Glenn: “Give me a break!” Love it!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:51 PM
and wayt o pick it up Gilbert. WAY TO PICK IT UP!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:52 PM
free throws need to drop
April 27th, 2008 at 1:52 PM
OUCH Jamison!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:52 PM
They’re over the limit we HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:53 PM
BRENDANSHAQ
April 27th, 2008 at 1:53 PM
dont back down guys. but keep in in control
April 27th, 2008 at 1:53 PM
haywood way to keep a cool head
April 27th, 2008 at 1:53 PM
I am loving Brendan right now!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
“hey dave and glenn……i still think the wizards should have a meet the bloggers fans day…..like they do for season ticket holders…..they should make it like if u have blogged in a certain number of games, then u receive an email confirmation and u can meet the team and get autographs lol” - Wizfan4life I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS!!
Because I love it how Soulja Boy could just get some courtside seats because of a comparison instead of it being because he’s a hard-core Wiz fan…Like us bloggers. That kinda sucked…
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
big shot caron!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
CB33333
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
Why did we take Brendan out????????? I don’t understand!!! Why did we take DS out??????? I don’t get it!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
GREAT board by Jamison.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
GREAT board by Jamison.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:55 PM
CB3 Da Man
Jamison too
April 27th, 2008 at 1:55 PM
Every single cavalier has the secret dream of having Brendan stepping on them, HE WON’T DO IT PURPOSELY!!!!! QUIT THAT.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
HAYWOOD MVP 2009
April 27th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
We cannot by satisfied by getting back in this game. We need this intensity regardless of score for the remainder of the game now. No lapses in concentration.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
Come on guys… fix your hair or something… we gotta win this game.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:56 PM
be*
April 27th, 2008 at 1:57 PM
YES we need this intensity for the rest of the series, too! But, take it one day at a time!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:57 PM
missed free throws hurtuin..gotta make free throws
April 27th, 2008 at 1:57 PM
need to close the quarter strong!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:57 PM
We keep this up and we are going to have a BALL GAME!!! Im loving all of this energy!!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
we need to keep going at LBJ make him play D he has 3 fouls
April 27th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
“The queen” and his minions -
April 27th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
I love me some Twan!
April 27th, 2008 at 1:59 PM
jamison leading our team.
April 27th, 2008 at 1:59 PM

April 27th, 2008 at 1:59 PM
AND-1
April 27th, 2008 at 1:59 PM

April 27th, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Jamison is MONEY
April 27th, 2008 at 2:00 PM

April 27th, 2008 at 2:00 PM
we need HAYWOOD
April 27th, 2008 at 2:00 PM
BOO LOUDER BOO LOUDER BOO LOUDER
April 27th, 2008 at 2:01 PM
gnahajshdosfdsf. let’s take the lead! GOOO, HAYWOOD IN!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:01 PM
but we have GOT to rebound as in we HAVE to rebound….
April 27th, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Are you kidding me? We have to aske Etan to get in I mean…..
April 27th, 2008 at 2:02 PM
common where is the sub?!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:02 PM
lack of rebounding killing wizards
April 27th, 2008 at 2:02 PM
man put in Haywood or AB
April 27th, 2008 at 2:03 PM
My oh my oh my… why did EJ take Haywood out??? Does anyone understand that?? What am I missing here?
April 27th, 2008 at 2:03 PM
Whats there to discuss? These refs are ooohhhh……..
April 27th, 2008 at 2:03 PM
This replay is killing me. Do we have to see this 100 times?
April 27th, 2008 at 2:04 PM
they need to go ahead and call it they know what it is
April 27th, 2008 at 2:04 PM
we cant get sloppy now in the end. we need to take this over in the 4th and close out STRONG. these 2nd chance points are whats KILLING us
April 27th, 2008 at 2:04 PM
Rebounds; Dom should be able to handle that…But yeah, where are people??
April 27th, 2008 at 2:05 PM
please go big … the season is on the line…who cares about fouls at this point.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:06 PM
frustrating becasue we did not turn the ball over in the third quartert
April 27th, 2008 at 2:06 PM
Exactly, Jason. Brendan had a slam and then he got pulled out. ???
April 27th, 2008 at 2:06 PM
We are still in this game. Need to do the same job on Lebron in the 4th. This is such a huge quarter of basketball.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:07 PM
we have to REBOUND again REBOUND and again REBOUND
April 27th, 2008 at 2:07 PM
yeah we need to take this game right now its a must we need to go strong take everything to the rim and play LBJ hard but rebound the ball
April 27th, 2008 at 2:07 PM
They were hiring new refs not so long ago and really, all they need for experience is something like highschool ref(ing). If that’s all that’s really needed, I guess that I too can become a ref. Heck, lets ALL become refs -
April 27th, 2008 at 2:09 PM
blatche and haywood in together…this also goves jamison a rest
April 27th, 2008 at 2:09 PM
yes, please put Dray and b-Wood back in. Thats the best idea all day….
April 27th, 2008 at 2:09 PM
4 on lebron! GREAT way to start the quarter.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:10 PM
thats what we wanted stoped clock foul on james and some free stuff
April 27th, 2008 at 2:10 PM
yeah yeah yeah four on lebron
April 27th, 2008 at 2:10 PM
I bet it’s sooo hard for someone like Twan to rest; he’s so dedicated to helping his team
April 27th, 2008 at 2:10 PM
blatche and Haywood, finally!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
ok but what we dont need is Dray picking up quick fouls….
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
Yeah, that is AWESOME about 4 on LeBron. OH NOOOOO… Blatche fouls again!!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
AB did not put his back on the guy
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
should have been a reboubnd
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
Y’all this game might just go until 6:00 (7:00 there) with all these calls
April 27th, 2008 at 2:11 PM
OH MY. Where is the THREE seconds please.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:12 PM
LOL EDDIE
April 27th, 2008 at 2:12 PM
What did Eddie do?? Why can’t we get one rebound to save our lives?
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
keep driving it caron, keep driving it.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Get ‘im Mason
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Well the replay tells it all don’t it; clearly a TRAVEL TRAVELER. I wish I can travel as much as them…
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Keep taking it to the basket.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
thats how we gotta do it, attack that rim, draw some fouls!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
CB3 needs to go glass LBJ wont foul
April 27th, 2008 at 2:14 PM
I like to travel too.
April 27th, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Nice steal by Twan!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:14 PM
WAY TO STEAL!!!!! but we gotta make these freethrows as well…
April 27th, 2008 at 2:14 PM
NICE AD
April 27th, 2008 at 2:15 PM
caron take over the game
April 27th, 2008 at 2:15 PM
TOUGH JUICE!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:15 PM
I’m getting nervous here guys!
April 27th, 2008 at 2:15 PM
THIS
