In the WASHINGTON POST, Michael Lee writes “LeBron James hasn’t engaged in much talk with the Washington Wizards during this best-of-seven series. His only comment that could be interpreted as bulletin board material came after his Cleveland Cavaliers took a 3-1 lead on Sunday. James was asked if the Wizards had any chance of coming back to win, and he answered, ?No.’ The Cavaliers are one victory from ending the Wizards’ season for the third year in a row with Game 5 set for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena. James, who is averaging 29.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists this series, is confident that it is not a matter of if but when Cleveland will eliminate the Wizards.”
