Wiz Should Focus More on Basketball, Less on Hitting LeBron

by Marcel Mutoni Having watched both games 1 and 2 of the Cavs/Wizards series in their entirety, I feel confident in saying that Eddie Jordan and his staff are so consumed with stopping LeBron - or at least, trying to stop the beast - that they haven’t come up with much else of a game plan. As far as I can tell, their only goal in the series is to knock him to the ground as much as ... [link]

Focused Cavs Rout Undisciplined Wizards, 116-86

The Washington Wizards made good on their vow to repeatedly hit LeBron James but James and his Cleveland Cavaliers kept their composure and hit back where it counts the most: the scoreboard. Cleveland's 116-86 game two victory exposed the Wizards to be a team that--in the words of their coach, Eddie Jordan--lacks "intensity, discipline and organization."

Second Verse, Same As The First

Since the last comic depicting the latest C.C. Sabathia combustion got such a great response, I thought that a “Game 2″ comic would fit in quite nicely this morning. And what would a good comic be without a little Agent Zero complete with brick-action as well as that piece of garbage that is Brendan Haywood. Do enjoy...
