ESPN - Wiz's Haywood says LeBron should stop complaining about rough play - NBA

On Monday, Wizards center Brendan Haywood, countered.
"Awww," Haywood said, in a whiny, high-pitched voice to mock James. "They are trying to hurt me."
Haywood, who was called for a flagrant-two foul and ejected from Game 2 after shoving James, believes it's time for Cleveland's superstar to stop complaining.
"I mean come on man, this is the playoffs," Haywood said following Monday's practice. "He wears 23, he wants to be Michael Jordan, I can respect that, he's a great player. You saw what Mike went through. Mike got fouled way worse than this. No one is trying to hurt him, everybody is trying to play basketball, trying to play tough. Play basketball and leave it alone."

....

"It's never over until it's over," said Gilbert Arenas, playing with a bone bruise in his knee. "They said there are eight teams that have done it [come back from 3-1]. We are going to be the ninth."

Keep talking. Down 3-1. They've lost 9 of 10 to the Cavs in the playoffs and they keep talking.

Funny thing is that all Lebron said was that they were trying to hurt him (which is true) and that it ain't working... which is kind of like him saying "Bring it on."

I'm not sure what Lebron said about the Wizards to Drew Gooden that could have set off such oddly insignificant players as Stevenson and Haywood, but whatever it was... it was probably true.

I hope the refs have a really quick whistle when these ass clowns come to Cleveland Wednesday. I have a feeling the Wizards will be out for blood. Any excessive foul (i.e. the close fisted slap yesterday) should earn an ejection for the Wizards.

The sad part is that I really do believe that Butler and Jamison are very good players. They must feel like the parents to a couple of drug addicts (eShawn and Haywood) that they have to love no matter how much blow they do.

I sure hope we finish this out in 5. If it goes back to Washington for Game 6, then this series goes 7 - and anything can happen in a Game 7. Plus, a 4-1 series win would really embarrass those trash-talking fucks.

Don't forget 0. He's still talking like the player he was 2 years ago rather than the waste of space he is now. I really hope the Cavs can come out hot like they did in game 2. If they can get a big lead early I think the Wizards will quit. The fans are going to be nuts tomorrow, which is going to help.

I agree, play with high energy early and come out and hit them in the mouth...

As for Butler and Jamison they are two very good players in this league and as OH said they are surrounded by guys that like to get involved in the extra garbage surrounding the game...

The Wizards are starting more shit. I like Butler, the rest of those guys are garbage.

The Cavs got kinda screwed on the whole deal. Songaila should be heading for the showers, and Varejao somehow got a technical for turning his back to Whatshisname and swatting his hand away from him when Whatshisname tried to start shit.
