I think it was an unnecessary cheap shot. That happened in tonight's game (Game 2), right? If so, I think Brendan Haywood should be suspended for the next game.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

Of course it was a cheap shot.

He made NO ATTEMPT to go after the ball. And the Wizards basically said they were going to play dirty.

it was not a cheap shot he hit him becusre he missed the ball just be cuse eddie jorden said they were going to play labron hard does not make it a cheap shot. he was protecting the rim labron can not just throw his body around the lane. and labon has been in the ref's ear the whole series he can get a way with murder. if he get suspened it will be injust

It was a cheap shot he made no play at the ball he clearly "pushed" i dont know how you can make a play on the ball by pushing a guy . Also they did throw haywood out because it was LeBron you are right but that is because of all the "smack" talk they said before the game . They put the refs in a situation to do this so nothing else further would happen.

btw nationals fan what is ur take on deshawn stevenson and his acts lmk

[nationals fan]

well ithink stevison should not talk shuch a big game when he is not that god himself but i think he is trying to inspire the team by showing them that he will step up to lebron and defend him. i think labrons momentum was going in such a way he would of fell down any way haywood just foul him trying to make him earn his points from the line. it was a foul not a foul worth ejection. i thunk labron is babyed by the league were all the old greats babyed no they earned it. labron is good i admit but he is not the next mj he is not even a team player so stevinsons words were correct he is overrated his defense suck and his foul shooting sucks

stevinson was trying to inspire his team. by saying what he said he was trying to get them to think that labron is not that tough. haywood just missed the ball he did not want to faul him. he was just trying to make labron earn his ponts from the line. and in refrence to all the smack talk they are just trying to make the "gient" smaller and comfert themsleves. he is very very much babyed by the league he gets calls when he wants them . and in that play he would of fallen anyway his momentom was carrying him to the floor

Dude, spare me. He didn't go after the damn ball. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.

You are a Washington fan so of course you are going to defend the play. Second of all is Lebron not Labon or Labron.....third IT WAS A CHEAP SHOT

[12thManzAlive]

that wasn't a cheap shot, Lebron flopped like a little *****, Lebron must have took some drama classes in High School to get away with that performance. Brendan Haywood was defending the paint, and Lebron got played hard, and if you watch the slow, slow replay near the end, Haywood barely touched him, hit his arm slightly and Lebron flopped. That was not a cheap shot, terrible call...
