Wizards-Cavs

Caron Butler must have been reading the roomofzen yesterday when he saw me question his clubbing habits with his wife. Not only does he redeem himself with a game-winning shot, he turns around and single-handily brings the Wizards back into this series. Amazing. Thank you very much, Caron. Your name is now back to Tough Juice and no longer the guy with Grim Reaper Tattoos who goes to clubs with his wife at 2 am the night before games guy.

Having Lebron miss the game-winning shot definitely changes this series and gives momentum back to the Wiz:

- Now we go back to DC where the crowd has been excellent (surprisingly)

- Now Gilbert is on the sideline, hopefully not messing up the rotation, and letting his team win like they have been all season

- Now Lebron James will question himself when he has the game winning shot on the line (he may have been questioning himself before when he passed it to the mediocre Delonte West as an aside)

- Now the Wizards can tie it up at home, hope Lebron has a bad game 7, and come away with the series.

In all truthfullness, I can't say I predicted this outcome. It just wasn't likely with the way Lebron has been playing. But if the Wizards win this series and the Celts somehow progress, this blog will explode.
