Mo guarantee: Cavs guard fails to deliver late
By Antonio Gonzalez
Mo Williams’ Game 4 guarantee blew up like his swollen left eye.
Starting fast and fading late, Williams had 18 points but went scoreless in the fourth quarter and overtime as the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 116-114 Tuesday night to the Orlando Magic to go down 3-1 in the Eastern Conference finals.
“I’m a leader on this team. Whatever I can do to spark this team and give us confidence, I’ll do,” Williams said. “If I have to take the heat, so be it.”
Cleveland’s only other All-Star provided little help to LeBron James when it counted most. He deferred to the league MVP and clanked the few jumpers he took. Williams finished with five rebounds, two assists and one false proclamation.
“Guarantee we’re going to win the series? Yeah, yeah,” Williams said Monday.
Whoops.
His eye still swollen and s ches concealing the wound from the elbow he took in Game 3 from Orlando’s Anthony Johnson, Williams had 12 points in the first half and then pretty much disappeared.
He finished 5 for 15 from the field, with eight of his points coming on free throws. Williams attempted only two shots after the third period, and like most of the Cavs, he leaned heavily on James.
“I put the ball in LeBron’s hands,” Cavs coach Mike Brown said. “So he didn’t defer. I went small. That’s why he didn’t get a ton of touches.”
Magic point guard Rafer Alston said Williams’ prediction was their biggest motivation.
“I had it in the back of my mind. I wanted to take it to him, and he wasn’t even guarding me. LeBron was,” Alston said.
It has been a rough series for Williams.
In the second quarter of Game 3, Johnson drove the lane and extended his elbow, knocking Williams to the floor bleeding. Williams was called for a blocking foul, and Johnson was whistled for a flagrant one foul after officials huddled. The flagrant, which Williams said was “most definitely” a cheap shot, was rescinded earlier Tuesday by the league.
His statistics are almost as painful.
Williams is 23 for 71 in the series and has been hardly as efficient as he was in the regular season, when he averaged a career-high 17.8 points. Game 5 is Thursday night in Cleveland, and now the Cavs must do what only eight teams in NBA history ever have: come back from a 3-1 hole.
The time for guarantees is almost up.
“Nobody would be asking about it, they’d be talking good about it, we would be 2-2 right now if we won,” Williams said. “Our coach would look real good.”

LMAO Mo
Lmao
It's that Van Gundy/Pat Riley Defense. This series is over in 5.
JVG, SVG coincidence that they were both protege's of Pat Riley?
I have never seen a player more depressed after losing a game that wasnt an elimination game. Seems like he is already giving up.
Udoka, that's that Milwaukee Buck in him.
I'd never heard of Mo before James made him famous, then with the All Star ing and this series, he's easily become one of my most hated players in the league this season.
Congrats Mo, hope your brick house is coming nicely
did anybody see mo williams crying in the locker room?

White towel
This is why you shouldn't guarantee anything unless you are 100% sure you can back it up. I don't understand these people's at ude. You will only look foolish when you can't make good on your promise. Didn't Jameer Nelson guaranteed a win too? Haven't Mo learned anything?
Like Paul Westphal in 1993 vs Lakers
