Cleveland vs Washington

Postby Matt on Mon Apr 14, 2008 12:46 pm

The first series that we know we'll get is upon us. No surprise it's Cleveland vs Washington part III.

This time, I'll take Washington regardless of HC advantage.

*note* Washington can claim HC if they win their remaining 2 games, and Cle loses their remaining to games.....otherwise Cle has HC

What about ATL/BOS?

I pick Cavs in 7. Wizards will put up an excellent fight, but the Cavs will best them in the deciding game 7.

The Cavs have been off their game all season. They still have yet to get their act together. The Wizards on the other hand have played inspired in the face of injures, and now are regaining strength. The development of young players + the addition of Agent 0 leads me to pick Washington in 6

a healthy Cavs team should win in 7.

they need Ben Wallace for the D though. otherwise, Washington could easily steal it.

Gilbert and Caron are back, but not at full speed just yet IMO.
LeBron has a knack for exploding in the playoffs (cough*cough*Detroit*cough)
And so does Boobie Gibson.. so my vote goes to Cavs in 6.

Have to go Cavs in 7, cuz LeBron is just amazing in PO, although I would like Washington to win. Still gonna be interesting matchup.

Something tells me Washington in 6. I don't know why, just a gut feeling

I'm predicting that LeBron's brilliance will be enough to get the Cavaliers past the first round, but there'll be no upsets to follow. Cavaliers in six.

This was true today. Talk about shit. Lebron, Big Z travel and dont get called. But when Caron Butler doesnt, he gets called.

That 3 by arenas was insane though. I thought that was more spectacular than the lebron dunk. But you know, jumping high and hitting a rim is more spectacular than shooting a 30 foot bomb for a swish because its bron king of all kings.

Not necessarily more spectacular, but both highlights were awesome in their own right; the dunk because of the elevation and the way LeBron had to reach back and get it and the shot because Arenas made it look so effortless.

i dont understand why everyone keep comparing this series to the one from last season. the cavs got a whole new team now, a much better team imo. the wizards are good are can still win the series but calling out lebron wont get it done. 1 for 9 after running your mouth wont get it done.

I thought that was a bit of an ill-advised remark for Deshawn Stevenson to make as well. It's one thing to be confident and trash talk is part of the game, but that crossed the line between trash talk and simply talking rubbish. I doubt Stevenson is going to get into LeBron's head, particularly after following up his comments with such a lacklustre game.

My guess is that Stevenson is looking for a big enough rock to hide under right about now...

This wasn't even a basketball game, more like a practice.
