Why does Brendan Haywood have to do this?

Not only that .. Cavaliers and Wizards isn't even a rivalry.  LeBron James and whoever Danny Ferry shuffles around him every year continuously slap around the Wizards.  So I won't appreciate this .. because it's one team talking and one team beating.  The Cavaliers should be above that crap is all I'm saying.

And BTW Nelz0n .. he passed to an open man in the corner for a better look than he was getting.  I didn't see he wasn't a team player or didn't want to win .. I just said he'd be AS HAPPY with an MVP award as he would be with an NBA Championship.

I am tired of this crap. What does it tell you when the only two good players on that team aren't the ones talking smack? That they are the only two smart ones. Yes, I say two because Agent 0 is terrible, he can score with the best of them but he's one of the worst team players i've ever seen play the game. If I was Caron Butler and Jamison I would be pi$$ed. If Gilbert sits out the rest of the series and Haywood and Stevenson shut their mouths maybe this is a different series. I don't even know why we are talking about this. I don't even know why LeBron gets mad if a player of the caliber of DeShawn Stevenson or Brendan Haywood talks smack. I would just laugh as I drop 40 on them.

You can bet after the Cavs beat them again DeShawn or Brendan will say something stupid, LeBron will say something along the lines of "let the score do the talking" and they will move on to what will be hopefully a competitive series against the Celtics.

yea, I guess if someone slaps you in the face and taunts you, you shouldn't do anything. 

Human nature....its a hell of a thing huh?

One, it was in retalliation to what the Wizards are doing and two......... His team is up 3-1.  Big difference when you talk smack and you win, as opposed to initiating the smack talk and then lose. 

Good luck next year Wiz, you are officially the court jesters of the league. 

The Cavs have acted like Pros through this whole Wizards thing.

It's A joke the kind of team the Wizards are.Their coach should be fired.I would be embarrased if I was a Wizards fan.They have now lost 3 straight years in the first round to the Cavs and they just keep on talking.

 Talk that crap on Thursday when their cleaning out their lockers!

Just wait.They will be spewing out more garbage then also.They just don't get it that they are not a good team.

that is what guys like you don't understand...

The Wizards DID NOT INITIATE the smack talk...it was LeBron talking crap to the Wizards because they beat them two years in a row....(talking crap to Gilbert at the free throw line and then afterwards too)

and he told Drew Gooden a bunch of stuff about the Wizards and Drew Gooden told DeShawn Stevenson cause they are friends...

And then LeBron was talking smack when the Wiz played them in the regular season..

All Deshawn was doing was talking back and sticking up for himself and his team...

But you guys just want to criticize Deshawn because he isn't an all-star...

Chris Paul didn't hold an interview on ESPN stating that a couple of fans in games in Toronto and Portland "motivated him" to have a big 4th quarter. 

He seems just fine with winning and willing himself to win.  Not depending on outside factors to do it.
