<font color="navy">We have clinched a playoff birth. At the beginning of the season I said it was possible for us to win the 4-6 seed, no one believed me..well look at us now.</font> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">WASHINGTON, April 13 (Ticker) -- Larry Hughes and Gilbert Arenas helped lift the Washington Wizards to their first playoff appearance in eight years. Hughes scored 23 points and Arenas added 21 as the Wizards returned to the postseason with a 93-82 victory over the shorthanded Chicago Bulls. Combined with a loss by New Jersey (38-40), Washington (43-35) qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 1997. It has not won a postseason game since 1988 or a series since 1982. </div> http://www.nba.com/games/20050413/CHIWAS/recap.html
Congrats to you guys....granted it was at the Bulls' expense. Nonetheless though, congrats and good luck. I think you'll have a tough team to beat if everyone is healthy and on the right page.
Yeah, congratulations. It's really been a spectacular season for Washington, hard fought, team had shown spurts of real successful chemistry. Hughes was huge, Arenas re-emerged, Haywood got to work, Brown..developed. They surprised quite a few of these overblown 'experts' in the media. Quite good, especially when fully armed (healthy). It's been great for them so far (not over just yet. )
Well I belived Anyways, it's good, and the win against Cleveland tonight was also good, especially with the big three doing very well, and Haywood also having a nice game.
Gilbert Arenas is sick! He tore the Cavs apart last night- 33 pts and 9 assists. But I seriously think this team will be dangerous in the playoffs and have the ability to go to the finals!
We were slipping because we didn't have Haywood. I think Haywood is our X factor. If he shows up with 10 pts, 9 boards, 2-3 blocks per game in the playoffs, we can upset some teams.
Yes finally, it took a while. Haywood hopefully will be in full health during the playoffs, and I think we can beat the Curryless-Bulls in the first round. It's sad though that we would have to take on Miami, assuming we beat the Bulls.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting finnspidey:</div><div class="quote_post">I would much rather play the C's over the "Baby Bulls"</div> And why is that?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting CeltixQueen:</div><div class="quote_post">And why is that?</div> Already changed my mind and was not as confident as before, but I dont mind wanting Peirce and 'Twan getting in each others way come playoff time again. If we do face the C's I would be more concerned with the second team that they have, those guys can run. But I do have to say that 'Twan & The Truth both look much, much, much more mature this time around.
