LeBron James and the Cavaliers have owned the Wizards the last couple of years in the playoffs. This year is no different, but it may be the Wizards who ultimately do more damage to LeBron. The series has gotten off to a 2-0 start in favor of the Cavs, but the Wizards game plan towards LeBron is obvious. That plan is to be as physical as possible.
This series was rivalry before it started with the Cavs knocking out the Wizards several times in the playoffs over the last couple of years. This caused Wizard’s players to start talking about how they will win this series. The plan of trash talking has backfired as it has motivated LeBron and LeBron can pretty much do whatever he wants against the Wizards. They seem to have no answer for him.
However their game plan to be physical will have an effect on LeBron. The Wizards are almost guaranteed to lose this series after this start, but their game plan to be physical on LeBron will carry over. LeBron won’t be able to sustain the physical play and will ultimately hurt his game. He needs more help then he he is getting. Unfortunatley I don’t think that help will come this year. It won’t be a repeat of last year for LeBron as he will have a much tougher path to the Finals.
