    Gilbert choked! That was an amazing finish by the Cavs. They put in Damon Jones for a single 3pter to win the game! Amazing!

    Barring a major choke job by Kobe in Game 7, this series has to be the best 1st round series this year. These two guys were relentless. I mean, either team not playing defense helped, but still...great battle between Arenas and James.

    He committed a key TO, missed a key layup near the end of first regulation; and missed 2 key FTs that would have put Wizard in a win situation.

    He choked big time (although he did hit the 3 at the end of regulation to tie the game).

    Lebron and Arenas are both great athletes. However, they rarely do anything to make their teammates better.

    well that missed layup in regulation had a little to do with varejao sticking his arm in the rim. I noticed that the backboard shook and i thought that caused the miss. I didnt know why it shook until they showed that varejao put his arm in there.

    ....but yeh he choked on those free throws

    They said on ESPNEWS that James told Arenas if he missed those two free throws the game is over. Wizards got the shaft on that non-goaltending call.

    Arenas and the Wizards are terrible of using shot clock. Up by 7 with about 3 min to go, Arenas shot several terrible outside jumpers about 10 seconds into the shot clock. I had to keep telling myself that if the Wizards were willing to find a better shot and fully used the 24 second shot clock (when leading near the end of the game), they would have won more of these close games.

    Possibly the most tired cliche in all of sports.
