    Wizards beat the Pistons by a lot probably. I was watching that game when there were 3 minutes left. Wizards won the last 3 games againts the Cavs. Not to mention, LeBron is not clutch at all. But I don't care, because the Wiz are my home town team [​IMG] lol

    Well, as most are saying if there'll be any upsets in the East it'll be this one. Two very evenly matched teams, should be an exciting and lengthy series.

    Neither team has a great post presence, neither team has good defense..Its going to come down to outside shooting and guard play for the most part. should be an interesting series, but neither team is fit for a playoff run in my opinion..

    i think lebron james is going to play well. he's had a great season and i think it will carry over to the post season and i think he is going to establish himself as great playoff performer. the wizards are a really strong offensive team but also very weak on defense. i think the cavs have this though in 5.

    LeBron is terrible under pressure so I guess he will do bad. :-\[​IMG]Great match-up though. Wizards will take the series IMO.

    Hey, dont bring retards into this lol.Lebron just took over today. He took advantage of the Wizards poor defense. I didnt see a bit of hesitation today. I love the way this guy gets his teammates involved as well as scoring dominantly.I'm going to say this. I dont care what the Laker fans say, I think Lebron James is better than Kobe Bryant.

    Great performance by Bron, but since I'm going for Wiz in this series, I must be pro Wiz and say one thing they can hold their hat on was their big 3 was off and still were in the game, I doubt they will be off the whole series. Also, bad coaching by Jordan who benched his 3 late 3rd when they got it within 11. And proceeded to empty his bench. What was he thinking, this is the playoffs. Other then that, Cavs dominated pretty much.

    Yeah, the Wiz were pretty stiff in finding their game last year in Game 1, so I wasnt really suprised that it happened again this year. The thing is, we need to win a game in Cleveland, for us to take the series. 'Bron played great, Marshall looked like he was years younger, and everyone else on the Cavs looked okay. I still think Wiz win in 6. Trust me, Gil has a knack of bouncing right back from poor performances. Also, to all the Cavs fans who thought Hughes was going to explode and prove why he was worth the money, here's his statline. 2 pts, 1-9 shooting.

    Me too, lol. ^I expect a different attitude from the big 3 in Game 2. We'll try to somewhat limit LeBron, even though its basically impossible. All we need to do is shut down Hughes (isnt that hard, considering he is very rusty still), Marshall, and Gooden and Z off the boards. If Damon Jones or Eric Snow get some junk baskets, thats okay, just dont have them make a big impact on the game. If we can shut down his supporting cast, I dont care if LeBron scores 50 or if he has another triple-double, he'll be helpless, and we'll win the game.

    Anybody watching the game? Drew Gooden's carrying the Cavs with 12 and 9 with a little under 5 in the 2nd quarter. Washington's up 32-31

    Lebron James was awful in this game. He hurt his MVP chances with this game if the votes haven't been put in yet. The series is tied 1-1 now.
