If the boys weren't motivated enough before the media decided Washington (42-40) was a good enough basketball team to handily dispose of the Cavs (50-32)the articles I keep seeing like this one will sure light a fire. Locker room material.
To LeBron James...
On the flip side, I'm not sure what to make of this Cavs team -- they can't guard anyone, their alleged "shooters" can't actually shoot, and Larry Hughes (who was supposed to play the Pippen/McHale/Worthy role here) has been banged up all season like he always is. On paper, they shouldn't even get past the Wizards in Round One unless LeBron pulls an "MJ against the '89 Cavs" on them. And even that might not be enough.
