Wilbon:  Round 3 to the Wizards

The series to watch, and listen to, is Washington vs. Cleveland, which already has name-calling and trash-talking — and it hasn’t even begun. And if that weren’t enough, the most charismatic figure in the game today, NBA analyst Charles Barkley, has called the Wizards “the dumbest team in the history of civilization” for calling out LeBron James.

. . .

In short, the Wizards and Cavaliers have become two teams that plain don’t like each other . . . and seem on the verge of detesting each other. The Cavaliers are tired of Gilbert Arenas and now DeShawn Stevenson. The Wizards (at least one of ’em) think James is overrated. The Cavaliers took the Wizards’ lunch money in an entertaining six-game series two years ago, making Agent Zero in particular look like he couldn’t take the heat when he missed free throws at the end of Game 6. Last year, the Cavaliers took advantage of a Wizards team depleted by injuries on the way to the NBA Finals.
