Are You Tough Enough???

Who could forget the days of the Hack-a-Shaq while Shaq played in L.A., well now it looks like since the Washington Wizards have been playing the Cleveland Cavaliers a new saying has been created…..Hack-a-Bron. After a ruff and tough Game 2 the name is quickly making its way around this series. After Brendan Haywood’s ejection for a flagrant foul that sent James flying through the air during Game 2 and also all the beef these two teams have had from the years prior has made this series a dangerous but exciting matchup.

The question is is this Wizards team hurting themselves by playing such a physical game? They seem to concentrate more on hurting the Cavs then making baskets and playing good sports-man like defense. I know its the playoffs but the Wizards are averaging more than a dozen points fewer in this series than they did in the regular season. The Wizards Big 3 ( Antawan Jamison, Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas) are having a hard time getting into the groove of the game. All three are shooting below 40 percent. In order to win this game they are really going to have to find some kind of shooting rhythm. Game 3 is tonight in Washington.
