Cleveland vs. Washington

It would seem there was poetic justice in Cleveland blowing out Wash. in the
final game of their series. Washington must have set a record for dirty
playing in their attempt to put James out of the game or to intimidate him.
They failed and Cleveland responded as true heros.

It was sad to watch the way the officials called the game and allowed all
those intentional fouls on James. James should be complimented not only for
playing great but for keeping his cool while being constantly fouled very
hard by guys he could probably beat the hell out of in a fair fight. The
dirty playing and questionable officiating made it very frustrating for me
to watch - particularly when they were going for LeBron's head so often and
the refs didn't kick them out of the game. If this is the way it's going to
be, they may as well let them fight it out like in Hockey (with the bad guys
going to the penalty box).
