Worst of the Night: April 21, 2008

DeShawn Stevenson: "I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them...." Oops. Sorry. Wrong story. But for the record, I did warn Stevenson. Who in their right mind would want to rile up LeBron James? Would you spit on a cop? Would you kick a rabid dog in the snout? Would you show up on Mother's Day and tell your mom to bake you a pot pie? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations: You're officially as stupid as the ...
Round One, Game Four, Beyond Joy
And One —
... in the middle of a strategy sentence. Four minutes until game time - someone has to fix the feed. Commercial explaining why you should join the army freezes so I know the government isn't behind this. Previous games footage rolls, some rock group sings about the Wizards and we're frozen at exactly 1:00. Game Time. Move to non-HD channel. Fuzzy, but it flows. Hubie Brown and Mike Tirico chat animatedly; I've never been so glad to hear Hubie speak. Starting lineups: Delonte , Wally , Ben , Z and LB DeShawn, Butler, Arenas, Haywood and Jamison ...

Forty-Two Minutes For Wally
waitingfornextyear.com 4/17/2008 — I’m being told that there was actually a Cavs game last night. Odd that they consider it a “game” when both LeBron James and Zydrunas Ilgauskas are inactive, but I’m sure some fans got some excellent deals on tickets.
Regardless, something that was much-needed occurred last night: Actual playing time for Wally Szczerbiak.

Magic Johnson on NBA official Darell Garretson, who passed away this week: “Darell (Garretson) was one of the top refs to ever referee in the NBA. What I liked about him is he let you talk to him, you got five seconds to explain and then he’ll give you that look to say ‘that’s ...
Cavs Steamroll Classless Witnesses Again —
Cleveland Cavaliers
Once again, the Washington Witnesses prove to be all bark and no bite.
Down 15 in the third quarter, Witness #33 (aka Brendan Haywood) decided to spear LeBron in mid-air (as shown in the clip above) without even making an effort to go to for the ball. James looked like a wide receiver going over the middle and being hung out to dry by his quarterback as Witness #33 played the role ...

CavsCast: Witnesses Resorting to Thuggery to Stop LeBron —
Cleveland Cavaliers
If you can’t beat ‘em, whack ‘em.
That seems to be the new mantra of the Washington Witnesses.
We saw guys like Brendan Haywood and Etan Thomas take their best shots at King James in the 2006 series. Although 2007 was over before it started, 2008 has introduced new characters like Andray Blatche and DeShawn Stevenson, both of whom have fit the “witnesses” ...
Worst of the (first playoff) weekend —
Basketbawful
DeShawn Stevenson: The Locksmith held "Mr. Overrated" to 32 points on 12-for-19 shooting...and most of those 12 makes were layups. Stevenson countered by shooting 1-for-9 and scoring only 3 points. Memo to DeShawn: Next time, wait until the series is safely over -- and your team has won -- before talking smack to LeBron. Actually, scratch that. It's probably best not to rile him up at all. ...
Random Thoughts on Wizards/Cavs —
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog
It looks like the Cav/Wizards series is going to be a physical series and I expect it to go at least 6 games. Already in the first quarter of the game we saw a fight and double technicals. It was a back and forth game and they had to play hard to the end. Former Celtics Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West started for the Cavs. I still really like Delonte and was happy to see him do well. ...

Cleveland Cavaliers News
Mike Brown is expected to start Wally Szczerbiak at shooting guard today. Brown wants to keep Devin Brown in a reserve role to deal with the Wizards’ second team.
”It’s interesting for sure,” Szczerbiak said. ”That’s why you have to stay prepared and stay ready for whatever might happen.”
Szczerbiak was a bench player for Seattle and for the ...
Another Year of the Washington Witnesses —
Cleveland Cavaliers
LeBron wanted somebody else for a change. I wanted somebody else. Hell, most Cavs fans probably wanted somebody else.
But for a third straight year, the Cavs are going to get the Washington Witnesses in the first round of the playoffs.
This time around is going to be a little bit different compared to other seasons. The 2006 series was all about LeBron’s first playoff appearance and ...
