Cleveland couldn't get any rebounds defensively and let Washington back into it. AV needs to get back soon.

I love how a jump ball consists of a guy arm tackling Lebron to prevent a dunk. WTF are these goofs watching??

One huge reason Cleveland lost tonight.

Mo Williams 2-13 for 6 damn points.

this defense is so bad almost every night. mike brown better learn how to coach, he still has no idea how to make adjustments.

Cleveland gave up way to many 2nd chances (miss AV and Shaq for rebounds)

Williams never showed up which cannot happen when you are without two starters already.

Fact: I watched the entire fourth quarter (I turned it on before halftime and saw Cleveland was up then went to the store)...thinking the Cavs were actually winning, until the very end when the announcers mentioned this would snap Cleveland's five game winning streak, then I realized the Cavs were actually losing. I was wondering why Arenas was out, why the Cavs were still trying so hard, why the arena was so loud...that sucks

I don't know what it is with Mo against the Wizards, he struggled against them in a few games last year as well.

Injuries and being on a back to back took it's toll.

The Cavs need to toughen up though. Too many second chance points and too many lay ups. The players didn't even seem motivated tonight as they were often expressionless on the bench.

All in all, they still sit at 8-4 so it's no biggie. We're not the only top team who's suffered a bad loss or two.

You didn't happen to take a quick gander at the little scoreboard in the lower right hand corner?

The refs were terrible, and I mean TERRIBLE. But it didn't matter THAT much, we didn't have it.

Mo played like garbage, you knew his streak of ridiculous games would come to an end at some point. We got beat up around the glass--Z killed us on defense tonight. As a whole our defense wasn't that great, poor rotation. But I really don't care--there is something about that building that doesn't go over well with the Cavs. They have a history of losing there and we all know how the Wizards get amped to play the Cavs like it's the Finals--because it might as well be for them and that's why I don't care about last nights loss. We can't win there in the regular season, but we destroy them there in the playoffs lol.

We need to get healthy. Hard to beat a team with that much talent, shooting the way they did last night, with Darnell Jackson playing more than 15 minutes. I don't know how many he had but he was on the floor for AWHILE.

the cavs lost because they quit attacking the basket and became a team of jump shooters heaving it up from the perimeter.

That's part of it. They also only played defense for the 1st half.
