I think we need to stop making excuses. LeBron is a very good player (great in fact). I don't think he gets "every call" but the reality is that the best players get the benefit of the doubt on calls in every sport, especially in the NBA. And I know some will say he's only great because he gets the calls. I don't buy that.

We (the Wizards) need to do our job and the fans need to stop acting like whiny, bitchy pre-2004 Red Sox fans ("oh we're so cursed, nothing ever goes our way. boo hoo"). Jamison was 1-8 from 3 point land, Stevenson was 1-9 for the game, Songaila 1-6 and we just want to complain about the refs?

Tough loss, but the Wizards need to regroup and win Game 2 and go home with a split. And they need to bring in guys like McGuire and Pecherov to rough up the Cavs. I'm not saying hurt anyone. I'm saying throw some elbows in there, making these guys fear coming down the lane.
