Everybody knows that LeBron James is the NBA's favorite son, right? Brendan Haywood does, as well, but he just wishes that Cavs coach Mike Brown would quit acting like an over-protective father every time someone looks at his star player the wrong way. From Dan Steinberg's Sports Bog:
"That's just how it is," Haywood said. "You know, any time LeBron gets touched, Mike runs out there like LeBron got shot or something. Calm down Mike. It's not that serious. We're not trying to take him out. It's all within the confines of the game. I don't see how coaches should be running out on the court like that anyway. Isn't there a coach's box? Since we're talking about the confines of the league rules, he shouldn't be out of the box."

Brendan Haywood has got to be the dumbest player in the league. Mike Brown is only protecting the teams franchise player. If I was the coach, I would have done more then Mike Brown did when Haywood received a flagrant 2 foul for taking Lebron out in mid flight. Haywood needs to shut up, and try to find a way to keep game 3 within 30 because the wizards weren't able to do it in game 2.

Hard fouls are part of the game...basketball's version of a beanball I guess...the league has a vested interest in King James...but I am sure had Haywood floored someone else other than Lebron...it would not have been as big a deal.

It's Haywood. And the wizards played extremely good and deserved the win. Butler is by far their best player for the Wizards with Arenas being hurt, the Wiz should put the ball in his hands everytime.
