I don't like those Wizards

The Cavs are up 2-0, which obviously bodes well for the outcome of this series. They absolutely dominated that game last night from about midway through the second quarter on, coming away with a 116-86 win.

I don't know which broadcast you were watching, but I watched the game on TNT, and analyst Reggie Miller disagreed strongly with the flagrant-2 call on Brendan Haywood when he hammered LeBron, who was going for a layup. And I strongly disagree with Reggie Miller. Haywood made no attempt at playing the ball; all he did was shove LeBron while he was up in the air. That's a real good way to wind up playing the rest of the series without its greatest superstar, and the NBA simply cannot afford to tolerate that behavior. Reggie asked whether the same call would have been made if it had been another player. I don't know the answer to that, but I say it should be.

The Wizards have been hitting LeBron repeatedly in this series, which I suppose is a valid strategy. But they strike me as a bunch of thugs.
