Cavs Too Much; Wizards Lose

Caron Butler could not repeat his performance in game 5
as the Wizards lose decisively in game 6: 105-88

The Washington Wizards best effort was not enough. The Cleavland Cavaliers end up disposing the Wizards in a six games. Darius Songaila was suspended for touching the King in the face. Of course, it was incidental contact. But LeBron James cried his way into getting the Wizards role player suspended.

In addition to Songailia's suspension, all star Gilbert Arenas and Etan Thomas were out due to injuries. As a result, the Wizards only fielded 10 players and Eddie Jordan ended up cutting his rotation to 7 playersin a 17 point loss.

LeBron James did his thing. Of course, he traveled his fair share of number of times game but he also dropped a triple double (27 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists). Role players like Wally Szerbiak and Boobie Gibson converted open shots. The Cavs shot 49% from the fieldwhile the Wizards only shot 39%.

It will be interesting to see what the Wizards will do this coming offseason since Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison are both free agents. What moves will they make to counter LeBron James and the Cavs, who have knocked the Washington out of the postseason for 3 straight years?

The Cleavland Cavaliers go on to play the Boston Celtics, who had the best record in the NBA. Led by Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and a solid supporting cast, I expect the Celtics to take out the Cavs in 5 games.
