Me too D4E. I said the Wiz in 6!!!

The problem with the Wizards; they are trying to play thug ball, when that`s not what got them to where they are. Eddie Jordan was quoted as saying, he wanted his players to be physical in the paint. Well, newsflash Coach, your team has just had a revelation that playing defense can win ball games.

It`s not like they have been playing the hardnosed physical defense all year, however their defense was much improved in the latter part of the season, all without one Gilbert Arenas I might add.

Bottom line, the Wiz are trying to play a physical type game, a style they haven`t played all year and it`s backfiring big time.

Wizards showed up tonight on their home court...you got to wonder where this series would be if the Wiz had the home court. Who would have thought that the Wiz would get beat by 30 one night and then win by 36 the next game...

Gilbert Arena's gets injured, The Wiz go insane in the 2nd half. Ball starts moving. Coincedence?

They were doing OK is the 1st half as well, but Arenas has really scrwed up the chemistry on that team IMO.

Damn refs at the Philly game. Screwed up two series.

Also, when Lebron was asked about the Overrated chant, and playing in front of a tough crowd, he basically smirked, and said i played in the ECF in DET. There's no tougher crowd than that.

I've always thought the crowd hasn't been as good the last 2 years or so. Guess we're still pretty mean.

This thing could get very interesting if the Wiz takes game 4. I have been saying for a while that the Wiz look better without Arenas. You can`t deny Arenas`s abilty to score, however, without him on the floor the remaining players have more of a sense of urgency IMO.

For example, the ball movement is better, despite the fact Arenas avg about 6 asst a game, it`s like they are meaningless asst, if that makes any sense. Basically, dude doesn`t pass the ball much, or play defense.

Should be interesting if he remains with the Wiz.

What a strange series. A point swing between two consecutive games in one playoff series of SIXTY-SIX has gotta be some kind of record.

I don't care for both teams... but looking at the winners next opponent, i prefer the wizards. Also, i don't like to have worn down team to compete with the celtics. This will reduce our chances to win the EFC.

Let's talk about us getting past the 1st round first. ECF seems far far away at this moment.

I've just become a huge Brendan Haywood fan:

ESPN - Wiz's Haywood says LeBron should stop complaining about rough play - NBA

Agent 0 done for the season....maybe the Wiz can come out and win without him now...after all they were winning before he came back.

Wizards not doing themselves any favors with 13 turnovers in the first half as they have a 2 point halftime lead.

It still physical as Songalia back handed lebron in the face and couple more flare-ups and techs surfaced in the first half...

Wow, clutch finish by the Wizards to stay alive! Aided in no small part by the Cavs choking, big-time. They were pathetic down the stretch.
