When the Cavs traded for Antwan Jamison, I thought they had pulled off a coup.  I figured that Jamison's shooting and rebounding would make him the perfect fit for Cleveland.

Boy was I wrong.  Jamison killed the Cavs in this series, both in terms of lack of offensive production and -- more importantly -- with his inability to defend KG.

I'd like to give a big tip of the cap to Danny Ferry, the Washington Wizards, and most importantly, Jamison himself.  Well done, sirs!

Yeah, he got destroyed in every game of the series except game 3. I'm surprised they weren't able to use him effectively.

Thank god, they got Antawn Jamison and NOT Amare Stoudemire.  

Who knows what would have happened had they gotten Stoudemire?

But this is all a "WHAT IF" and THANK GOD we don't have to worry about that and can just worry about how good this Celtics team is playing right now.

That's what happens when you bring a soft chocker to your team. His matchup with KG was pathetic.

for sucking really, really hard
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

  You've got to give a big assist to LeBron, who's basically been holding a gun to the franchise's head for much of his career.

KG had a lot to do with Jamison's struggles. If KG keeps playing like this, he's going to make a lot of people look really bad.

Thank you Ferry for getting Mo Williams who is the worst defender on the Cavs.

While it's not hard to understand how Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler avoided their fair share of the blame for that two year long debacle in DC - fully eclipsed by Gilbert Arenas, his injury, his blog, his swimming pool, his court case - they've both finally been exposed by god awful efforts for would-be contenders.

Hey Antawn Jamison is no slouch of a ball player.

He's very nifty on offense and can make the occasional 3 pointer.

The problem with Jamison in this series is KG just took Jamison's honor.

I can't really be disappointed in Jamison because KG is just flat out better.

KG made all three (Shaq, Jameson, and AV) all look silly.   His jumper was unflappable.

No, that's true. But at some point both he and Butler became overrated - filling out boxscores while never getting their team over the hump, and as often as not failing to get even that close...
