Shirts and Skins Give Advice on NBA Basketball: April 27

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards
Q: How accurate is LeBron James in saying DeShawn Stevenson is like Soulja Boy and he is like Jay Z?


Melissa - After consulting with my crack team of NBA enthusiasts, we feel that, on a scale from one to 10, James has an accuracy level of about 11. LeBron James is to basketball like Jay Z is to rap: an industry icon. And DeShawn Stevenson’s impact to basketball is like Soulja Boy’s impact is to music: brutally non-existent.

Jimmy - I like it. Jay Z is more than just a rapper; he’s the face of hip hop, not to mention he's rolling in cash. Soulja Boy is a flavor of the week. People like his tunes but he’s never going to change the face of the industry. That said, if I was LeBron, I would’ve gone with this for my retort: "It's almost like The Beatles saying something bad about Twisted Sister. There's no comparison. Enough said." Then again, I’m white.


Q: How can Washington stop LeBron James?


Melissa -  Washington should use history to its advantage and attempt to repeat it. First, the Wizards should do their best to hurt LeBron’s feelings and make him cry by getting the player on their team with the least impact to call him “overrated” whilst sporting a sneer. Then, Washington should replace all of its cheerleaders with one special guest star: Soulja Boy. Mr. Boy can dance up a storm on the sidelines… conveniently standing right in front of the guest of honor: Colin Powell. What kind of a man wouldn’t be thrown off by political and musical influences while fighting back tears? 

Jimmy - Maybe if they blow up Quicken Loans Arena and force every game to be played at the Verizon Center. But that’s probably not going to happen. Seriously though, I don’t think you can stop LeBron completely – he’s pretty good – but you can obviously pressure the Cavs into turnovers. They had 23 is Game 3’s 108-72 loss to the Wizards after committing just 19 combined over the first two games.


Q: Who is the X factor for the Wizards if they hope to tie this series at 2-2 on Sunday?

Melissa - Definitely Gilbert Arenas. He will have a role to play, even if he doesn’t make it onto the court. What the Wizards need to do is unleash him and his Gilbertology onto the Cavaliers just before game time. Think about it. How will the Cavaliers play if they can’t find their jerseys? It could work.

Jimmy - The Wizards made some defensive adjustments that James admitted the Cavaliers “weren’t ready for.” Well, they’ll be ready on Sunday. So Washington better make more adjustments to prepare for the adjustments to the adjustments. Get it? To answer your question, the who is Washington coach Eddie Jordan.

Q: Gilbert Arenas hasn’t made a huge impact so far; can the Wizards win without him?

Melissa - My crack team of NBA enthusiasts doesn’t think that the Wizards can win even with him. What does that say?


Jimmy -Apparently, they can. Arenas only had two points in Game 3, which he left early with a bruised knee. His replacement, Antonio Daniels, did a great job defensively and might actually be a better option at this point.


Q: Who wins this game? Who wins this series?


Melissa - Ironically enough, the team and I are voting for the Wizards to win this game. We think that having home court advantage makes all the difference. The Cavaliers will win the series, though.

Jimmy - This one looks like a home-team series. Wizards win Sunday. Cavs win the series in seven.
