Cavs head to Game 2 — with no respect
Posted April 20th, 2008 by Pat McManamon
This Washington Post writer was not very kind to the Cavs. Kind of reflects the national image of the home team.
Tell me, when exactly did the Cavs turn into the Washington Generals?
And this columnist from the Washington Times seems less enamored with LeBron James than we are. Wants him suspended for the next game because of that elbow he threw at Andray Blatche. My esteemed colleauge from the Beacon Journal, Brian Windhorst, tells me that this writer has never really been too high on James. Appears not.
That elbow James threw was pretty blatant, though. If you don't think so take a look at the seventh picture here. Arms don't usually go up that way by accident. It will be interesting to see if the league takes some money from James' pocket for this.
That being said, I still think it was necessary for James — or someone — to do something like this. The Cavs could not allow James to be pushed around, or knocked down, without standing up and doing something. James did.
By the way, late in Game 1 Delonte West stole an inbounds pass and for some reason the refs called it a jump ball. I asked West what that ruling was, and he said he had no idea. "I was just trying to play until it was all zeroes on the clock," he said.
Apparently in the NBA these days when a guy steals an inbounds pass it's not fair.

This is hilarious. It's high time someone with a pen called that dope out.
All those Times and Post guys are really giving it to Lebron.
