damn I missed the whole Cavs/Wizards game, but saw the highlights. I love how the rivalry is getting more intense, that was great when Damon Jones hit a 3 and his teammates start mimicking DeShawn's hand wave---classic! And I guess we won't be expecting Haywood back for game 3 after the shove on LeBron. Next time he tries to pull **** like that, he's going to get his...

I don't think Haywood deserves to be suspended for Game 3, not after LeBron threatened his manhood in Game 1 and they ended up punishing the Wizards. He did deserve to get tossed from game 2, though.

Arenas's technical was a stupid mistake, one of many the Wizards made.

I'm loving the intensity of the series but hating how the Wizards are playing...they're in "let's just jack up random jumpers" mode right now. It's sucking the life out of the offense, and they're obviously not good enough on defense to make up for it. They had some really good chances early in the game but a few layups didn't fall in, then it seems like they just gave up on it. Props to Cleveland, though.

Game 3 is a must-win for Washington. I really hope the home crowd can put some energy back in the offense.

Garnett won the NBA Defensive POY:

I can't argue with that.

Let Haywood play, if he comes back, it means LeBron gets to embarrass him some more. Nothing better than embarrassing him in front of the home crowd. I bet he throws a hissy fit, stomps his feet all upset and pissed like, "I CAN'T BEAT THE KING!".

I think they need to implement a shot clock that limits the amount of time LeBron spends checking his lip for blood after every foul.

CP3 is on a tear. 32 points, 17 dimes, 5 boards and the Hornets are up 2-0. the CP3 vs. Deron debate just got hotter!

That would be a great series if they end up meeting.

[Sub-Zero]

The Hornets don't match up too well against the Jazz. Deron (he needs a nickname, he's too good not to have one!) is like the perfect counter to Chris Paul, CP3 struggled in all of the games against them, had one 20+ point game but more than half of his points came at the charity stripe. But it would still be fun to watch, these two cats have the makings of future hall of famers and their about my age so we'll get to see them battle for a long time. They just need to sprinkle the rivalry with a pinch of trash talking, and a cup of physical, in your face action, its just what the NBA needs!

[Sub-Zero]

Nuggets are down 0-2, their defense has more holes than swiss cheese. I now know what Denver means. if you scramble the letters you get "Never D", as in Never PLays D!

49-4-10 for Kobe in game 2. Ouch.

Only if they do something this cool in every game: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XhTjSrZi91Y&feature=related

Thats right! F yo couch, Czerbiak! Got anymore gems rag? The vid of Ginobili scoring 24 consecutive points is pretty sweet.

[Sub-Zero]

damn what a horrible effort by the Cavs! oh well im still confident the Cavs will win the series even if the Joker is head coach. i'd like nothing better than for LeBron to light up the punk@ss wizards.

I agree about the Ginobili video.

Don't have anything else right now, but I've got papers to write and that means I'll eventually end up YouTubeing random sports videos looking for something cool while I procrastinate.

The hatred is strong in you.

Ladies and Gentleman, we have ourselves a series.

[Sub-Zero]

im not worried. Cavs have these type of games every once in awhile. I guess you can call this blowout a one hit wonder! kinda like Soulja Boy's career

[ragnorok99]

I thought the crowd was hilarious tonight, one chant in particular.

Heard on PTI today that Stevenson and Soulja Boy are throwing a post-game party.

[Sub-Zero]

who throws a post game party after one first round win? LOL

heres a parody of the Kobe jumping over an aston martin clip. this one had me crackin up!

I've heard several Cleveland fans who seem to believe you only need 2 wins to take a best-of-7 series, so a Game 3 victory is worth celebrating, especially since the series is supposed to be over.

Plus, I like how he's just having fun with the Soulja Boy thing.

[ragnorok99]

Looks like homecourt was good for a lot of teams. Houston and Toronto both got wins.

I'm looking to watch Suns-Spurs late tonight, haven't seen a game from that series yet and I hear that the first one way pretty epic.

^Awesome, I was looking for a picture of that. Glad I wore my Tough Juice shirt yesterday.

must feel like they won a championship, winning for the first time in 9 playoff games

Nice shirt! I wore my Butler jersey last night. My friend used to work merchandise at MCI Center and got me stolen/discounted Arenas jersey, Butler jersey and an Agent Zero shirt.

It's a start. The defense Eddie Jordan used last night reminded me of the way he had Caron Butler play Paul Pierce.

Niiiiice.

Anyone hear the diss track on deshawn stevenson by Jay-z?

[Sub-Zero]

I 've read about it but haven't heard it yet, I'll check it out when I get home. speaking of which, I just think it's hilarious at this point that they continue to commit flagrants on LeBron. All he does is continue on to have a great game you would think they know by now! Dumbest team in the history of civilization is an understatement

[minford]

Haha can you put up a link to it?

Haha, I guess Jay-Z is responding to "Soulja Boy" after all.

I'd like to hear it too.
