Wave Goodbye DeShawn


Yep. That's right. Wave goodbye to you and your team DeShawn.

That may seem like an insane thing to say when the Wizards just completed a 500-point castration of the Cavaliers in game 3 of their series - a series that they still trail 2-1, against a team that they have lost 10 of their last 13 playoff games against. But that sequence in the third quarter, where the game was already pretty much out-of-hand, when DeShawn "Soulja" Stephenson hit consecutive threes, the following actions will serve to bite the Wizards in their fey asses:

1. Stephenson hits his first three and runs back on D imitating Tim Thomas circa 2006, waving his hand in front of his face. He was imitating Tim Thomas. There are roughly 450 players in the NBA. Where does Thomas rank on the list of Players That You Look Foolish Imitating? Somewhere between Raef LaFrentz and Juwan Howard?

2. Seconds later, when DeShawn hit his second three, he did his version of The Pigeon - made famous by Merton Hanks and Shaq - openly mocking the Cavs. I love emotion and funny antics by players on the court, but these antics when combined with...

3. The fans chanting "O-VER-RA-TED" while Antonio Daniels was at the line a minute later. All I could think of was LeBron plotting his own upcoming version of Shock & Awe for the rest of the series.

We've seen King James dominate a championship level team during his one-man-gang performance against Detroit last year. I can only imagine what he'll do against the delusional, mohawked Wizards.
