However his shooting has gone down due to Washington's 2 All-stars not giving him the open shots he's used to. LeBron has not put up the same numbers he did in last years series but in no way should the Wizards guard LeBron any easier. _______ <span style="color:#0000FF">Washington's Keys to the Game Make Open Shots!!!!!:</span> Alot of our shots come in rythem and are good open looks but DeShawn, Jarvis, and other role players just can't hit them. It's very frustrating, you're not going to get as open looks as you did with Gilbert and Caron around but you have to live with the shots you get in rythem. <span style="color:#0000FF">Defend the paint:</span> Wizards should make Cleveland a jump shooting team as they did for the majority of game 2. We can't allow the easy layups we gave them in game 1 to continue. Brendan will be a key factor if this is to be succesful. <span style="color:#0000FF">Use Homecourt!:</span> All of the Wizards now we're a 10x better team at home, we just need to take advantage of it. <span style="color:#808000">Cleveland's Keys to the Game</span> <span style="color:#808000">Pound it inside:</span> With Eddie Jordan's unwillingness to give Brendan Haywood real playing time it gives Zydrunas Illguaskus the time to shine. They need to pound it inside and get tough paint points and not settle for jumpshots. <span style="color:#808000">Do what you do best:</span> Cleveland shoots a low percentage but is arguebely the best rebounding team in the NBA. They have to use that into effect, don't let the Wizards out-rebound you or you will have porblems. ___ Predictions: Washington wins 108-101, Cleveland is surprised by the Wiz's new focus at home. Antawn gets his average playoff numbers, Brendan Haywood plays 12 minutes. I'm at this game and Gilbert has some announcement to make, something to do with 4 million of somehting.
Always though the team name was Cleveland Cavaliers.. Should be a good game, I'm thinking the Cavaliers will turn it up this game and just blow out Washington in this game to send them a message.

Wow, I couldn't even tell you the last time I've seen Antawn Jamison this animated out on the court, it's great to see. He has had yet another outstanding game thus far, I hope Washington can keep this one interesting. They don't want to go down 3-0, they need this game. Jamison is doing everything he can do try and get this victory, and his intensity level is great. EDIT: Aaaaand there's the dagger. Good night, Washington.
Bring out the brooms! Sorry Washington, but you guys still are fighting and not just letting us walk all over you guys. Great comeback, but nice job by my Cavaliers to close the door on ya.
This sucks. I went to the game to watch them come back seventeen down, and then finally lose by six. We're down 3-0, but we still don't want to let Cleveland sweep us. We'll do our best to win Game 4, and if we do, Cleveland will finish us in Game 5.
It was great watching us come back form 17 down to tie it but couldn't finish out the fourth. I really don't wanna get swept here against this trashy Cavs squad. _______ They did a great job with the intros: Caron Butler comes out and tells "DC to get on their feet" Antawn Jamison is introduced Jarvis Hayes is introduced Etan Thomas is introduced DeShawn Stevenson is introduced Antonio Daniels is introduced Gilbert Arenas

^A little bitter? Just because some of the games are close, they are still sweeping you guys as of right now. Still way too early to make ridiculous statements such as those. Dont be bitter just because you got unfortunate at the end of the season. Its very childish...

Its very childish...</div> We're not being bitter, they are a better team than us by far when we don't have Caron or Gilbert... Thats where our offense comes from. All of Cleveland's points come from broken up plays and tough jumpshots. They're a very talented squad but at the same time a very dumb basketball squad.
They arent the smartest basketball club all the time, but they arent the worst #2 seed eve....They still have a decent chance to make it out of the East. They would be playing Torono or NJ next round and you have to think that they could beat either one of those teams...The Wizards are obviously short handed and that is why this series is going to end up a sweep, but even if they did have Caron and Gilbert for the whole series, I still feel the Cavs would win this series. It would obviously be alot closer though...
