(4)CLE vs (5) WAS

**Ball Don't Lie** · 04-15-2008, 12:48 AM

Who's gonna take it, how many games, and why?

**INSIDER** · 04-15-2008, 09:41 AM

cleveland wont have an easy time with washington...
if theres a first round upset in the east, it'll be this matchup.
washington is stronger than alot of people give them credit for... a healthy jamison and butler are dangerous.
if they can put pressure on lebron and force him to use his teamates, they will win. clevelands only chance is if lebron takes 90% of their shots.... which he does all the time... sigh.

washington knows what the cavs plan is... they just have to put the pressure on one guy.
i hate cleveland!

This is gonna be such a good series. Remember Deshawn Stevenson talking shit about Lebron? I like the Wiz's tough road game. I pick Washington in 6.

Acie · 04-15-2008, 10:09 AM

Eddie Jordan > Mike Brown.

I'm taking the Wiz in 6.

Dr. J. Naismith · 04-15-2008, 10:25 AM

Hate him .... but when push comes to shove LeBron is almost unstoppable. Cavs in 7.

**Ball Don't Lie** · 04-15-2008, 11:34 AM

Lebron isnt so unstoppable without 3 point shooters on the court, and lately Brown has benched Wally and Damon Jones. Its no coincidence Lebrons numbers have gone down since then, it's easier to help on him.

CLE has knocked them out 2 straight years, WAS is motivated and a better team than ever, I like WAS in 7 because of the regression of CLE and the improvement of WAS on defence and having Gil come off the bench is huge I think.

If CLE plays the 2 shooter lineup(Gibson/Jones) I think theyll have a better chance in this series, if not I dont think they will win it.

**INSIDER** · 04-15-2008, 12:52 PM

its all a smoke screen.
brown is benching wally and jones because he knows teams are watching them... their trick is to bench them now and try to surprise everyone in the playoffs and play them alot.
brown knows the cavs can only win if lebron has a shooter to pass to.... he's trying right now to pretend they wont get lots of minutes.

Major · 04-15-2008, 04:58 PM

Well it's simple. I already know it's gonna be in 7, I hate Cleveland, so I'll pick WSH.

Hip-hop artist Soulja Boy has accepted DeShawn Stevenson's invitation to sit courtside for the Wizards first home game against the Cavaliers in the playoffs. Stevenson invited the rapper after LeBron James compared himself to Jay-Z, and Stevenson to Soulja Boy last month after Stevenson called James "overrated." While this is not fantasy newsworthy, and may not even qualify as news in any circles, it does add a little more humorous intrigue to an already intense playoff matchup.

Haha

Wizards board. I hope Soulja boy doesnt taunt Lebron like Boshs bitch did or wiz are gonna lose game 1

Thug · 04-19-2008, 01:10 PM

My thoughts at the end of the first quarter.

Wow at the 3 pointer Gilbert hit to end the first quarter...

DeShawn Stevenson looks like a really evil guy sitting on the bench, I don't like him at all.

Jamison with 10 boards after the first quarter! Wow!

LeBron looks like he is slowly getting frustrated and how on Earth was that not a foul when LeBron was popped in the mouth by Blatche?

Should be a good 2nd quarter to watch.

Thug · 04-19-2008, 01:45 PM

My thoughts on the second quarter

We all just saw the emotions running high after the triple technical foul was called, LeBron, Haywood, and Jamison each received a technical foul.

Jamison with a double double already here in the first half with 10 points and 10 boards I believe.

Gilbert Arenas can flat out shoot the rock. He should be playing more in my opinion.

LeBrons dunk was too amazing, avatar worthy material. He was above the rim and he was outta the building!

Tie game so the 2nd half will be a fun thing to watch..

Thug · 04-19-2008, 01:51 PM

Oh my god Stephen A Smith sounds like a fucking idiot babbling at the ESPN Halftime show....Jalen Rose looked ready to punch him out right there. Lol

**Belsius** · 04-19-2008, 02:08 PM

go washington, arenas with four 3s in the first half

**Belsius** · 04-19-2008, 02:25 PM

Arenas is gold, jamison has 14 rebounds with 3 minutes left in the 3rd.

Thug · 04-19-2008, 02:56 PM

Well DeShawn with a horrible shooting night overall so far but making the big 3 there when it counted. He's 1-9 from the field overall.

The MVP of West Hollywood · 04-19-2008, 03:12 PM

sigh... I think the final 5 minutes in every one of these games is going to be Lebron and Arenas trying to win the game by themselves. Talk about destroying the mindset your team has been winning with all year (Washington). Ugly basketball.

**Belsius** · 04-19-2008, 03:15 PM

I hate cleveland

The MVP of West Hollywood · 04-19-2008, 03:16 PM
