The Playoffs Are Over: Rachel you can start reading the blog again

Hey Guys,

The Wizards lost. They kind of fought hard. Jacked up some threes. It is what it is...

Better luck next year. Maybe we won't face the Cavs in the first round. (long sigh)

w

Awwww...Hell No!

Hey Guys,

So check it. The Wizards won game five. Caron Butler hit the last 4 second shot and LeBron James missed his last second shot. Was he fouled, eh... did he foul, eh... This is the playoffs. A bitch foul like that shouldn't be called, it may be my favorite call of the series so far. Anyways, the Wizards were getting tons of fouls that weren't actually called. So whatever...

But let's be honest, rewatching the replays... the Wizards got lucky. Mike Brown, the Cavaliers coach has the luckiest job around sports, and his offense reflects that. Give the ball to LeBron and hope he figures out a way to score. Great offense MIKE! He'll go before LeBron and then LeBron will probably leave Cleveland (seriously, if that happens, do you think all the Cleveland fans will pick up their lives and families and follow him?)

Anyway, if the Cavaliers played better offense they would have easily won this game. Word up! But the Wizards won, Caron made a SICK shot and they'll be playing Friday night! Can't wait... (not like I'm actually hoping they win or anything... hope... is the worst thing a Wizards fan can ever have.)

Wizards Update

It ain't over yet... bitches!!!

This is It!

Well Friends, if the Wizards lose tonight then I get to go back to blogging about real life. I can talk about the wonderful things, like Yoga, deep breathing, taking baths, um... drinking whiskey? Yeah, tough times here at the Journal. Tonight is the PIVOTAL, and when I say pivotal, I mean PIVOTAL, like with !!!!... This game could very well determine the future of the Wizards team and brains and minds and fan's lives, and no I'm not being dramatic. This game is so important that Abe Pollin, the ailing 84 year old Owner of the team, went to the locker room to give the team some words of wisdom; he told them to go out there and win one for themselves and for their families, and least of all for him. Man, you know I've watched Abe Pollin in his twilight years, since I've been a fan, and that dude is like the nicest guy you will ever meet, and I haven't even met him, but you know he kind of reminds me of the sweet kindly old man you just want to sit down at a dinner with and have milkshakes and chit chat, and he's now struggling with a crippling disease... good dude.

Well, Steve Nash, of the recently eliminated Phoenix Suns said before the game, this is really about having fun, just some guys on a court playing their favorite game. Those words did not work for Steve, I'd love to believe they'll work for the Wizards, but who knows... well I know who knows... his name is Soulja Boy!

I'll be back tomorrow to either write up the Obituary or offer some words of praise...

Laters!

One More Wizards Post

So just as a heads up this is blog, The Will Gong Journal, will be almost solely devoted to the Wizards/Cavs playoff series until it ends, and I think like a lot of other Wizards fans, I'm hoping it will be pretty soon (don't hate me for not having faith... you're not going on 17 years as a Bullets/Wizards fan).

Anyway, some more notes today.

I have a lot of respect for Lebron James on the court. He's a killer. He's cold blooded and he does his thing man. He's awesome at so many facets of his game - and then he does this...

"I guess that's what they want to do," LeBron James said, "They want to hurt LeBron James. It's not going to work."

So 1st, my man Deshwan Stevenson, didn't punch him, like LeBron's boys said, he kind of slapped him. There was NO CLOSED FIST. So stop crying LeBron. Also, Brendan Haywood, the Wizards center, told the Press today that... LeBron should stop crying to refs and just go out and play. Well, Brendan you just stoked the media fire AGAIN... and in LeBron's case, he's going to go out and play and CRY TO THE REFS, because that's what 23 year-olds do...

Secondly, STOP TALKING IN THIRD PERSON!!! I can't handle this shit. It makes me so FRICKEN MAD... Talk in First person. Is that so hard. Are you so good that you can't refer to yourself like a regular human being... This reminds me of a TNT game earlier this year when LeBron was wired with a microphone and they cut to a shot of LeBron on the bench saying "They can't stop King James!" 

DAHHH!!!!

Anyway, LeBron and his Merry Men will face off against the Wizards on Wednesday, and when asked if the Wizards had a chance of making this a series LeBron answered, 

"No."

That's all I got today... oh life is pretty good by the way...

The Playoffs Continue UPDATE

The Wizards lost by 3. A Delonte West 3 Pointer with 6 seconds to go did them in. Then they missed a three pointer at the buzzer.

It was probably the knock out punch, but I guess we'll see on Wednesday.

Bad times in Will Land...

The Playoffs Continue

Oh Dear, here comes another Washington Wizards basketball blog from Will.

Whatever.

The Lebron James - Deshawn Stevenson Feud continues. At a Washington D.C. Club on Friday night, a New JAY-Z record was played that was a complete DIS on Deshawn and his skills. Jay-Z is a friend of Lebron James. So this thing is going to get really stupid really soon, well, it already is, but it's getting stupider. And after they played that record like 5 times in a row, DAMON JONES, yes DAMON JONES got on the microphone to make fun of Deshawn. Mr. Damon Jones, I don't even get off the bench anymore, Damon Jones. And to top it all off it turns out that original negative comments that started this whole thing off, the ones Lebron James said around Dwight Gooden, who is like Deshawn's best friend, have now come out. Turns out Lebron said, well to quote Deshawn, "He said something about my game. He said I'm getting a lot of hype this year, that he doesn't think I'm the good player I am and basically that I suck, our team sucks and we're not going anywhere. I took offense to that." You know if I was Deshawn, I'd probably take offense to that too.

Tomorrow is Game 4. Wizards are down 2-1 to the Cavaliers. It's anybody's game. 

I can't even handle how ridiculous this series is getting.

A Deep Sigh

I can breathe again. The Wizards won. They won by 36 points. But the Wizards had to fight for it. And the magic they had to do was incredible. Most of them got haircuts, some mohawks, an 80's style mohawk, and Caron Butler buzzed "tough juice" into the back of his head. Not only that. The fans were all wearing white, a white out for team unity. And Soulja Boy was there dancing in the stands every time Deshawn "Lebron is overrated" Stephenson scored. Priceless.

And as my boy Kevin Baker said, "I can promise you they're not going to get swept." The monkees off the back, they played like the Wizards.

Cry Baby

So Lebron is a phenomenal basketball player, but if he wants to pretend to be so tough, so gangsta, so invincible, he needs to stop bitching and crying to the referees. And maybe that's part of his superstar plan, to cry and cry and cry so he get's all the calls, but that's a little bitch move on his part. They may sweep us and we (the Wizards) may come off looking like fools, because we have two head cases and the Cavs seem to own us mentally, but at least! uh but you know, uh, well I don't really have a but... Seriously! though, I think he's driving to the basket taking four steps now. FOUR STEPS!!!

You Will Witness

Dear Friends,

This evening I was sitting in class. Yes, I go to a class if you missed that. Er... if I wrote about it. I may have mentioned it (class is good by the way, thanks for asking.) So there I was sitting in class, doing some workshopping, talking about show ideas for "Everybody Loves Raymond" and I get a text message. Now, I'm pretty sure it's going to be from Hutson, so he can tell me how awesome "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is, which for me will probably be "Forgetting that the stars in this are stars in 2 of my favorite shows, one not named Sarah, but Veronica and the other named Marshall." Anyway, so I go to my phone and I see a new text message, but it's not from Hutson, no it reads: YOU WILL WITNESS.

And then I blurt out "SON OF A BITCH!" and I realize the text message is from Shannon Blanks and this is in reference to the Washington Wizards playing the Cleveland Cavaliers again for the third year in a row, and, AND the NIKE Lebron James "Witness" marketing campaign, which by the way is kind of fucked up now, more fucked up really, now that I think about it, because his nickname is "King James", which he grossly calls himself the King in third person, anyway, but so the NIKE campaign had "KING JAMES" like the Bible being WITNESSED, just like all the Christians are witnesses to Jesus, and in one of the ads had Lebron James run down the court and then turn into a LION, which if ya'll are familiar with some Christian texts and the Chronicles of Narnia, is the animal representation of GOD.

Anyway, backing up from my tangent, I hate the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Shannon hasn't contacted me in many many many moons, fortnights, etc al. And he texts YOU WILL WITNESS. Great reintroduction. Well, we'll see how this turns out, but fuck it, bring on the Cavaliers, I hope they prove all the Witnesses wrong, and Charles Barkley wrong and go out and kick the Cavaliers asses.

And some of you accused me of being dramatic.
