Soulja BoyEvery single game of the Wizards/Cavs series has been a blowout, and yet the history and war of words between these two teams has made it one of the most compelling of the postseason.

As promised, DeShawn Stevenson set the mood for the fun-loving Wizards by bringing out Soulja Boy, the one-hit wonder that LeBron James dismissively compared Stevenson to in the metaphor heard 'round the Association, to sit courtside. And of course, Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog was there:
Soulja Boy: I mean, I've got to support who support me, and that's the Wizards. I mean, I'm a fan of LeBron James, but when it's all said and done I've got to back who backing me up. You know? [Stevenson] called me and invited me out, he said 'I'm gonna fly you out, you just come, rock the jersey, sit courtside,' and I came out.

Dan Steinberg: So are you gonna help the Wizards win?

Soulja Boy: I mean, if it comes down to it, we're gonna have to do what we got to do to win, you feel me? I came all the way out here, we gotta take it home. If it comes down to it, you'll see. For real. We can't lose tonight man. I'm gonna have to talk to him, be like 'It's time to rock,' you know what I'm saying? I've got a lot riding on this.
How can Soulja Boy actually help? I'm guessing by distracting the Cavs with the shine coming off that thing on his wrist, which is either the biggest watch or the smallest diamond mine I've ever seen in my life. In any case, I hope Mr. Boy has an open schedule this weekend, because Stevenson isn't planning on letting him leave anytime soon:
DeShawn Stevenson: We've got to get him here [Sunday]. We won with him. Me and Gil, we're superstitious. so he's got to come back.
But will Soulja Boy's presence make a difference? Or does his luck go like his musical career, an explosion of goodness followed by ... well, nothing. We'll find out on Sunday.
