I have a new law: anyone whose name is not Lebron or Zydrunas cannot shoot the ball for the rest of the game.

I'd throw in Gibson too... everyone else unless they have a lay-up better pass it
Especially AV - STOP SHOOTING Andy!!!!!

Of course right now I'm thinking it should just be LBJ hahaha
But I'm ok with any of those three taking shots... right now it's all about the defense though.

HUGE blunder by the officials there. What on Earth are they thinking? Delonte West steal on the inbounds = jump ball at center court???
Oh yeah, and LOL @ Deshawn Stevenson. Overrated players put up 30 a game, while real players score 3.

we looked good today, really good....
our guys knocked down our shots, our defense was stellar...
the one thing though, we've gotta find a way to keep antawn jamison in check, that guy is so good around the rim, he has a great touch...
delonte west was great today, he stepped his game up, he went after every loose ball as if it was a final minute situation...
lebron was obviously good...
wally struggled again, i don't know what to say about him, i just don't get it
but hey, you wanna talk trash? you better back it up, and they certainly didn't, they were soundly beaten in the 4th quarter today by our boys

It looked great to me too. Would've been an easy two as well if doofus hadn't blown his whistle and stopped the play. I honestly think that the officials just assumed that Washington would use their last timeout and so they blew the whistle.

Arenas calls himself the best 4th quarter player in the NBA Lebron went to the hoop twice in the final minutes making 2 shots. A nice layup in traffic anda little floater. Arenas takes the ball and misses his floater and who gets the board? LEBRON 
I didnt get to see the first half and just heard how Washington was trying to intimidate Cleveland earlier in the game. As I said earlier, with Wallace and Joe Smith, its going to be harder to intimidate the Cavs. Wallace takes his toughness and defense to heart. He dont need stats and will do what he does with passion. Like when he was giving West his props when he got that tip ball and sent to the line. Dolente has been playing with a lot of hustle also. I liked watching him in Boston.
I didnt understand how that was a tip ball either. I dont even think the announcers knew.

Arenas is the best 4th quarter player in the NBA! Woohoo!  I forgot the game was on so early. Went to the park with the wife and daughter then my dad calls me at halftime. Hurry up and went home and watched the last hour of the game. They made me a little nervous at the midway point of the 4th quarter when they didn't do anything offensively. Luckily I work early Monday so I can watch the next one.

Man, you can throw the ball up almost anywhere to Lebron on a fast break and he can just rise up and take it home. Even when Lebron was a rookie, I took my daughter, who was 7 at the time, to a game against the Hawks. It was Lebrons first bobble head doll night. Being the first basketball game she went to, even she knew that Lebron was going to dunk it. It made me laugh when she said "Wow dad, they just throw the ball up and Lebron just puts it in. I cant believe how high he can jump."

You know with all the people worrying about LBJ leaving in a couple years I say just sit back and enjoy it while it lasts. Lebron is one of those special players that only comes along every once in awhile and Cavs fans should feel privileged to call him one of our own.

Yeah it was. When he did it I jumped off the couch and let out a "HELL YEAH LEBRON!!" and the neighbor below me started banging on the ceiling! That was easily the best play of the year for the CAVS! Well, let Washington talk smack! Shoot, let Detroit, Boston, who ever. With the big trade and the total different makeup from last year everything helps. You could tell LBJ really wants to shut them up. And he did, "WHAM with the right hand!" 
Our honor defend, we will fight to the end, for OHIO! GO BUCKS!

They also showed his license plate before the game......which said "KING OF OH" I don't think he's going to be going anywhere.
Cleveland should get a very good young player in a talent laden draft this summer and then have almost 30 million in expiring contracts in '08-'09 (to land a bonafied all-star from a team trying to dump payroll).
The Cavs are in great shape the next two years in a row. They can dump a ton of dead weight off the cap and really improve the supporting cast around LeBron.

i really do think this trade was made not just for the now, but for the next few years, depth has always been an issue with this team, and now, it's not... i think they went for quantity this year, and in the next season and that following offseason, it will be about quality, i think they will be able to finally bring in that second guy...
and like you said, the cavs will have the money in expiring deals next season to bring in anyone who wants out of their current team...
how many teams would love wally sczerbiak next season? to be able to clear 12 million bucks off your books?
and hey, if you don't, you can always hang on to him, and take your own cap hit, where a gilbert arenas, an elton brand, a jermaine o'neal will be on the market... i've looked at the free agent market in 2 years, it's not deep, but at the very top, there are some really good players...

It's too bad we aren't in the 3 seed...that would be a "easier" 2nd round matchup if Philly advances.
I should shut up, we still need 3 more wins.
Tonight's game is just as important as Game 1, if not more. The Bullets came to Cleveland trying to win at least one of the first two. I'm sure Lebron will be on again, I'm just not sure about Z. He can tend to be up and down.

I can pretty much tell you how his call went without having heard it.
Gibson...throws it up for Lebron...WHAM...with the right hand!

Sorry man, but Joe Tait is a legend and widely recognized as one of the best radio play by play guys ever. Nobody calles a game like Joe Tait and that goes well beyond his hype when calling a big slam.

I cannot wait for this game. This is the real one that matters. We either have control of the series after tonite, or the Wiz have done their job. Wizards have a boatload of pressure on them tonite after all they have said about us.
We need to come out and play with more urgency than they do, bottom line. This Wizards team knows they have to back up their words, thus they are going to play VERY hard and desperate tonite.
Lets take advantage of the home crowd tonite and feed off the energy from the tip......
I heart winning

I agree, he is a legend, as indicated when I said I respect him...but IMO he's boring. Not that he doesn't call a good play by play, he's very descriptive, but not very excitable to me. But I don't have anything against him. So relax...just stating my opinion

Who said I was excited? You stated your opinion and I stated my difference of opinion.
I dont feel Tait is boring to listen to at all. I think he does a great job of painting a picture of the action and is entertaining when there are breaks in action. As a example who do you think is more exciting? Maybe we can get a Mexican soccer announcer " He shoots, he scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooresssss aayiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi"
