King James ready to throw down, ends series with impact performance

Lead by example, that's what Lebron James has in mind to take care of the Wizards. He knows setting the tone is up to him. Cleveland and Washington have exchanged more than words in this heated, feisty first round Eastern conference playoff bout. Up 3-2 the Cavaliers look intent on ending the series on the road. With the personal rivalries, egos, and tension thrown in the mix it's shaped up to be an emotional contest which maby be another nail-biter. After two blowouts in the series, one by each team Washington composed themselves to pull out a stunning 88-87 victory.

The Wizards' Darius Songalia was suspended for slapping Lebron in the face during that game and will sit out Game 6. Too much trash talk has took away from the magnitude of this series. I expect Lebron to have to be fouled often and have plenty of chances at the free-throw line to help his team win. Big Z, Daniel Gibson, and Delonte West have looked sharp with crisp scoring games as the team captain has made them better by getting them involved when great passes off double teams.

Illgauskas has shot 53% in the series as Gibson hit 46% on three-pointers. Plus don't forget about Delonte's game-winning shot in Game 4. Washington's bigs have the pressure on them, realizing their team is down 3-2, but they plan on letting their combined efforts on the court speak louder than words tonight. It's still going to be a battle as the Wizards strive to even up the series. Foul trouble could be a big factor for both teams. I think it's going to be quite the proverbial gut buster!
