If you slow down ESPN's closeup, you will see that it was purposeful and it was a swing. Funny no one in Washington's talking about it.
You are absolutely correct. Nobody here is talking about that elbow, if that would have been Sheed he might have been ejected.

This game was lost by Eddie Jordan - or his players just didn`t listen to him. The Cavs were in the penalty with over 7 minutes to play, instead of attacking the basket they played as the Pistons sometime do, launching jumper after jumper.

One thing they did do and that`s make James pay for going to the basket a couple of times by putting bodies on him pretty good, which resulted in his elbow throwing.

When asked about the physical play from the Wiz James replied, "I was built for this, I am not 6-9 260 pounds to shoot jumpers, I go to the basket and create contact"

Was that a shot at the Pistons?

Re: Wiz Vs. Cavs series

I agree with what Bill Simmons of ESPN said in his playoff podcast. The Wizards MUST win in 6, because Lebron James is going to the free throw line at least 25 times if there is a game 7.

Re: Wiz Vs. Cavs series

So Lebron led the Cavs in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks while holding his man to a 4-13 shooting night. Also, he had more free throws than the rest of his team combined. +34 on the night.

That sort of sounds like MVP stats to me. 12 assists to 1 turnover? Come on.

Isn't MVP a regular season award? I don't think these playoff games count. Not that it isn't impressive. But I'm a proud LeTravel hater. Any chance to erode his supremacy and image I will take. I can't help myself.

If LeBron makes it to the NBA Finals I could see him being Finals MVP. Hasn't he been All-Star MVP already? I could see that the League would be so giddy to have him in the Finals that they would give it to him even if his team lost, if there was anyway to do it without showing obvious favoritism unlike last year.

Yeah, he probably has that in his future. But not this year. I do look forward to him skipping around the arena declaring his unending fealty to Jay-Z with the triangle hand signal. You can never get enough of that stuff with Lebron. He brings so much more than basketball to the court, you know.

Nah, we'd better let it go. LOL. I don't care much for Lebron, either, I was just stirring the pot.

Re: Wiz Vs. Cavs series

I had thought the Wizards would win this series, but man, that wasn't much of a prediction. I certainly can't recall many instances of a team recovering from going down 0-2 after a 30 point loss.

Well if the Cavs were the Pistons, it could happen...
