Maybe the Wizards should have shut up and just played ball in this series instead of firing up LeBron James. James dominated the Wizards again last night and ended their season. James finished last night with 27 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals proving that he’s not overrated. Antwan Jamison led the way for the Wizards last night with 23 points, 15 rebounds and 3 steals. Caron Butler had another good game as he finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Brendan Haywood was solid in the middle with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. DeShawn Stevenson once again disappeared in a big game…..like he always does. Stevenson only shot 2 of 9 from the floor as he finished with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. The Wizards got knocked out of the playoffs by the Cavaliers for the 3rd straight season 4 games to 2.

The Wizards won this game because of their defense as they held the Cavaliers to 36% shooting from the floor. Caron Butler made the go ahead shot with 3.9 seconds left in the game which capped a great night for him. Butler scored 32 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, dished out 5 assists and stole the ball twice. DeShawn Stevenson was being his usual crass self in this game. He only shot 5 of 14 from the floor as he finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Antonio Daniels did a decent job of running the point as he finished with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The Wizards are now down 3-2 in this series as it goes back to Washington on Friday.

The Wizards played hard on Sunday afternoon but it just wasn’t enough to win the game. The Cavaliers outrebounded the Wizards 51-31 and that was a huge factor in this basketball game. The Wizards also couldn’t defend LeBron James who dropped 34 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists on them in this game. His last assist was the back breaker as it was to Delonte West who hit a wide open three pointer with only 5.4 seconds left in the game. Antwan Jamison led the way for the Wizards with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Caron Butler also had a decent game with 19 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Brendan Haywood was also solid with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. The Wizards are now down 3-1 in this series.

The Wizards competely dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers last night as they shot 52.1% from the floor while holding the Cavs to 39.7% from the floor which helps explain the final score. DeShawn Stevenson finally woke up as he led the Wizards with 19 points and 3 steals. Stevenson also shot an amazing 5 of 7 from three point range. Roger Mason was outstanding in 28 minutes off the bench as he finished with 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Caron Butler had a solid game finishing with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Antwan Jamison was busy again last night as he scored 15 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, stole the ball twice and blocked 2 shots. Brendan Haywood pitched in with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The Wizards are now down 2-1 in this series but they are now alive.

Maybe the Wizards shouldn’t have fired up the Cavs with trash talking and cheap shots on LeBron James. A cheap shot on LeBron James by center Brendan Haywood fired up the Cavs. Haywood was ejected from the game on what looked more like a football tackle than a basketball play. James once again torched the Wizards with 30 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocked shots….so much for him being “overrated”. The Wizards only shot 37.5% from the floor and they were outrebounded 49-34 which doomed them last night. Caron Butler led the way for the Wizards with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals on a woeful 4 of 13 shooting from the floor. DeShawn Stevenson finished up with 12 points and 2 assists but he fired up the Cavs with a gesture after a nice basket with his team losing by 16 points at the time. Damon Jones mocked Stevenson after he hit a three pointer to put the Cavs up 30 points. Darius Songaila put in a solid performance as he finished with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 16 minutes off the bench. Antwan Jamison and Gilbert Arenas shot a combined 6 of 23 from the floor and they finished with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists between them. The Wizards better play better when they return home or they can start planning vacations for next week. The Cavaliers are now up 2-0 in this series.
