The Nation's Capital

We've arrived in DC, where the Cavs know it's REALLY them against the world, so to speak. They not only expect to get the Wizards' best, but in a very hostile environment for Game 3.

LeBron expects the physicality to increase, not so much in the flagrant foul sense, but he knows he will continue to take a punishment on every drive to the basket.

King James says he will continue to attack, and then attack some more. He then added, "we have to counter their punches." Then as reported, laughed as he caught himself..."not literally." Even LeBron got a kick out of the double entendre.

By the way, Brendan Haywood was quoted as saying he apologized to LeBron for the mid-air shove...when asked if that was true, LeBron tersely said "no".

But both LB and Mike Brown sound more and more alike as time goes on with both using phrases like "locked in" - which these guys have been and must remain.

Clearly this team is not focusing on any of the by play so far, and don't refer to any of it unless they are asked about it. They are assuming nothing as they try for a 3-0 series lead.

More tomorrow...see you on FSN Ohio.
