DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum ***Cavs/Wizards*** Playoff Thread -Part 2-

Good start to the second so far... really need to play some defense...

I'm disappointed in the crowd... I know we're losing but they just don't seem as hyped up as I would expect...

James hasn't really gotten going... outside shooting hasn't really been going...

Devin Brown/Wally crapping the bed so far.

Is it just me, or is there like a .04% chance of Z passing out once he gets the ball down low?

Yeah Wally really is crapping the bed...

He had 3 horrible turnovers in the first.

34-32 Cavs down 2 halfway through the second.

Starting to get hot now - nice shot by Gibson from the outisde - we got to protect the ball better though

How about that prayer from Caron Butler earlier in the game, that will be on SportsCenter tonight.

Someone needs to tell LBJ to stop settling for jumpers

Give the Wiz credit. They are shooting well, and more importantly, playing harder than us. I have seen Joe Smith and Ben Wallace get flat out BEATEN on 2 or 3 rebounding plays so far. LB is playing with an extremely low basketball IQ right now. In a closeout game, he needs to pound the rim. These are things he needs to learn at this point..

we've gotta stop with the damn turnovers already...

we're playing awful, yet we're within 3...

Yeah we are playing pretty bad right now and the Wizards are shooting relatively well.

That being said we are only down 45-43 at the half.

GO CAVS!

LeBron is sort of playing like he does when he's hurt. Not driving to the rim, settling for pull up jumpers. Hopefully he's just saving his body for crunch time, and can turn up the heat when it matters.

The crowd does seem out of it, but it's been a pretty sloppy game so far. Then again, they seem to be "blurting out" a lot of what the crowd is saying, like during the "a-hole" chants for DePawn. Maybe the crowd is going crazy, but are throwing out so many profanities, that TNT is just playing stock audio of crowd sounds.

we look asleep out there - no passion

Jaybird,

This is what scares me about us. Sometimes I feel like we think we are better than we actually are. I call it Pistons disease. We CANNOT come out and sleepwalk like this. With all the talk done by the Wiz, there was no reason for us to come out without the urgency.

But, like I said, I will give them some credit. They are fighting for their lives and hanging in their with us even though they have a boatload of turnovers. It's time to flip the switch and come out and attack the cup.

Wow ... I ilke Wally ... but he really needs to sit this game.

Turnovers make me so

At least LeBron is hitting 3's today.

Z takin' over!

Ben Wallace is absolutely getting worked, period.

Booobie!

I'm wondering if we'll be seeing wallyszerbiakpleasestarthittingyourthreepointers.com anytime soon?

What's with the lack of rebounds all of the sudden too?

Why can't we make layups?

Getting lazy and not boxing out. Wizards are wanting it more.

Here's the deal. We win this game if our bigs not named Z give us ANYTHING. I mean both on offense and defense. We will see..

Time for LBJ to take over and starting taking it to the hole. 2 points in the paint. Guards need to drive to.

just like that!

man I hope our fourth is better than how we ended the third

I would guess because "Sideshow Bob" is soft. He might hustle but this clown couldn't score in a brothel with free tokens. We should have let his sorry ass sit and got somebody who could really contribute. LBJ is playing like a joke as well. He's not even trying to make a difference he's playing perimeter ball and its showing he can't handle being double teamed. We are lucky to still being in this game ands if the Wizards were heathly they would be owning us right now.

get a clue dude

I'm watching the game dude, and am on the mark so you get a clue.

LBJ is playing like crap as is sideshow bob. If we win we got lucky and will not advance playing like this. Sorry your blind to reality but obviously I have a an understanding of whats going more then you do. Pay attention and take off the homer glasses. I wanna win but we should be up by 15 right now against this team, in this position. Get a clue.

What was that personal all about? (watching from work on stattracker. )

Witch one? Fact is we are playing sadly and if we win this series I don't see us advancing after. I actually am thinking about the firing of Brown and get Avery Johnson in here because he can make us better with the talent we have. Brown can't scheme plays worth a crap.

Soup is that you?

GD IT!!!! You don't need freaking threes this late!!

We lost. They dwindled that lead like a bunch of friggin amateurs. What the hell were they thinking?

Uhg.

What the hell do you mean by soup? I call it like I see it, and what I am seeing sucks ass right now. You can't be happy with this performance no matter if we win or lose. I want to win as well but we will not go far playing like this.

This game was won!!!

LeBron gets the ball and uses up the friggin shot clock and then jacks up an un-necessary 3 while everyone is standing around with their thumbs up their u know what. Then LeBron does the same thing and kicks it out to Boobie who takes another un-necessary three.

How can they be so stupid??

Wow, talk about a choke.

They had it wrapped up and instead start chucking 3's. I HATE that.

Nice no-call mugging there.

Cavs didn't deserve to win though, they had no killer instinct tonight.

An Fletch, soup was a previous poster who would only show up when the Cavs or Indians would do bad, proclaim they "sucked" and wouldn't get into the playoffs, get out of round one, get out of round 2, get to the finals ... etc.
