At last, after all the talking, all the buildup and the hype, it's finally here.
Wizards-Cavs, playing in the first game of the NBA postseason.
"We're excited," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan just said a little bit ago outside his team's locker room. "We're glad we're the first game. We feel like we're a marquee team, the marquee game and we're ready."
The game hasn't even started but the Cleveland fans have already started raining down insults upon DeShawn Stevenson for calling their King overrated. Word in the Wizards locker room before the game was that a few of Stevenson's players were at the mall yesterday and people started coming up to them telling them to tell Stevenson to come out and public in Cleveland and make the same claims.
At 12:20, the Wizards are on the court for pregame warmups and every time Stevenson is shown on the Jumbotron, the fans boo lustily and call him every name in the book.
Just up on the big screen was a picture of Gilbert Arenas and his quote from his blog that said the Wizards want the Cavaliers and don't think Cleveland can beat them three straight years. That too incited a mini riot. Arenas looked up and grinned.
The Wizards' starters were just introduced and Stevenson again received a thunderous boo. Only a smattering of boos were handed out for the rest of the team.
Then came the Cleveland introductions, and judging by the music and the deafening cheers, I can't tell if I'm sitting in the stands at the Coliseum in Rome about to witness Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridias about to go into battle, or if I am actually at a basketball game.
Let's get it on ...

Overrated? Ha Ha Ha Ha. Oh yeah Bullet fans, tell Agent Nothing it's over. He may be able to score but he does NOTHING else. The 0 on the back of his jersey stand for nothing. It also represents the number of games you will win in the series. He NBA fans are tired of your pathectic act year after year, getting bounced in the first round. GO CAVS !!!!!

Stevenson is awful...he should be embarrassed. Call out someone and then become invisible except for one shot? LeBron should have compared him to Vanilla Ice.

They don't call him King James for nothing. Stevenson as for the jumps & skip thats allowed Lebron when he's going to the basket, I guess you'd have to be a superstar to understand that privilege. Oops my bad you're not. I didn't even know you existed until your name was mentioned in the same breath as KING JAMES. By the way do you even know what an endorsement deal is?

I think you made a mistake but putting the name Maximus in your blog Mike.....that's the name of LBJ's son.
Cleveland fans....have fun cheering for a baby before he jets to New York.
