Why do you keep coming over here if you really feel that the Cavs couldn't care less about the Wizards and Cavs fans couldn't care less about Wizards fans? Also, why does your "Location" state "definitely not DC" when you couldn't care less about the Wizards or Wizards fans? There's a tricky double-standard that I haven't quite grasped.

The fact their first place sitting, HCA having, crybaby whining, crab dribbling team has trouble beating our lowly, injured beatup squad... I would do the same thing in his place...

hahahhaa..."Definitely Not D.C."

I guess Cleveland is comparable to Sandals, Jamaica in this guy's mind. I find it funny that Cavs fans say this game doesn't matter to them when they're the ones still actually fighting for playoff standings and we've been done for months. If anyone, the game means nothing to us other than to spoil their fun.

Yeah, followed by one guy who actually contemplated pushing an NBA athlete that he's never spoken to before down an escalator. But hey, I guess people in our city are the kooks, huh?

LOL at the Cavs fans who said this wasn't a rivalry on the general discussion board and then post things like that in game threads. GO WIZ!

Never been to Cleveland. I haven't ripped your city. I have repeatedly posted that I think Lebron's the MVP of the league and a great pleyar.

That said, Lebron's the one who said "Danny, they're trying to hurt me'.

I watched James very closely last week. When the game was tied he went back into flailing his arms and even fell down to make it look like the Wizards were being overly physical with him. James is the strongest damned guy out there and I think he's a con artist, in addition to being great. I think he wants it both ways. It's okay for him to launch into guys but he can't stand when Haywood wraps him up or bodies him. James wants to punish guys and also make sure the refs don't allow guys to be physical with him.

Every time they play in DC the Wizards need to play him as physically as they can.

In Cleveland they need to put Caron on him and just let him score but to try and stop the rest of the team. Can't guard the guy without fouling out in Cleveland. That's the main reason the Cavs are 37-1 at home.

Officiating.

So, Manny, your fans think Wizards players are trying to hurt Lebron and you can't stand our fans. I say Lebron's highly manipulative and maybe is a little scared.

Lebron would be scared in his pants if he ever did something former skin Michael Westbrook. He's now all into that MMA stuff. He'd kick his butt.

Not that it matters that much, but missing the all time best home record by one game, and it being a late season loss to this team would really piss me off. Cavs should rebound from that aberration and whip these guys by at least 15 tonight.

I love it!

spaceman_E and doc, I think the article and link you guys put in the other thread belongs here, too.

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/smith2_090406.html

Sam Smith:
LeBron gets star treatment

Do the referees consciously protect James knowing he is perhaps the league's top marketing figure and he is featured more than any player on the nightly sports highlights? I always doubt that knowing the integrity of the refereeing corps as a group and believe NBA officiating is the best in sports.

Still, we've never seen anything like this. Especially at a time when it is generally agreed with rules changes it is the most difficult time to defend on the perimeter without committing fouls.

James is averaging 1.72 fouls per game in an average of 37.9 minutes per game. James hasn't even been in foul trouble one game this season. He never has had more than four fouls called on him in a game, and since March 1 is being called for fewer than 1.3 fouls per game.

In 12 of the 20 games since then, James has been called for one or zero fouls in a game. James had a stretch of five straight games to conclude March averaging 36.8 minutes per game without being called for one foul. Not one in five games! In the last nine games, James has been called for three personal fouls. It's really amazing given the involvement James has in the action of the game.

I'm sure Lebron will have the entire Wizards team fouled out between preferential treatment and his flailing and falling down and checking his lip for blood.

Cleveland fans, there's a reason we don't care for his antics.

It's funny watching you guys react when your team is going through a string of bad luck. You guys are hilarious... Try being a Cleveland fan

Dude, we´re reacting to what you guys are saying on yall forum... Like pushin people down an escalator and stuff...

It looks like insecurity issues to me, yall know that yall might lose this one... You guys may be clueless, so let me explain it for ya...

We don't have sh*t to play for, if we lose, all will be forgotten coming playoff time... You guys are playing for HCA, which may cause you your championship...

If y'all lose this one, damn... Y'all may just go down in history as the most pathetic #1 seeded team in history...

Imagine... Losing against an beatup, far from 100% squad at a place where y'all only lost 1 game this year... Also going for HCA... And you guys got LEBRON JAMES!!!! THE KING!!!! You do the math buddy...

What's up with all the Cleveland fans coming over here looking for little barbs and jibes to get all worked up and offended about?

Your team has the best record in the league, arguably the best player in the league (certainly the most talented), looking at a deep playoff run and a better-than-decent shot at a title.

It's funny. If the positions were reversed I'd just be enjoying the ride. Losing a couple times to one of the worst teams in the league wouldn't be bothering me at all.

We are overdue for a beat-down at the hands of the Cavs, so that's what I'm expecting. The X-factor here is Gilbert, does he play and if-so, he's due for a hot shooting night.

I'm also expecting a beatdown.

Cleveland for a few minutes last time, even in defeat, got red hot shooting the three. West did his usual against the Wizards. Williams got his. Gibson got his. The Cavs briefly swung the ball expertly and made a big lead evaporate in a hurry.

If not for a horrible game by Szczerbiak, a pretty poor game for Ilgauskas, a bunch of turnovers from Lebron, and calls the Wizards NEVER get finally going there way; the last game would have been a loss.

So, I'm expecting a beatdown this time. And the good news is it just helps increase the odds for getting Griffin.

I'll be ecstatic with a win, because I know how it will affect the Cavs and their fans, but I expect a huge loss.
