PLAYOFFS, BABY, PLAYOFFS!!!! (NBA, that is)

[CooleyAsCanBe]

And we owe it all to Calvin Booth!

I know we barely held onto the coveted 5th seed, but the Wizards have a decent chance to advance to the second round again. Caron Butler is obviously very important to the success of our team (see five game losing streak with him on the bench). It is nice to have him healthy again.

Our 3-1 record against Cleveland this year is a little deceiving due to the fact that the only game in which Cleveland had all its stars and played them substantial minutes was the first one, which we lost. Still, we match up better against them than any other top four team in the East, so I will gladly put off studying for my law school exams to watch Gil and the clan in action.

I hope the Skins follow the Wizards' lead and go back to the playoffs this year too. Washington sports are starting to come around. DC United won the MLS Cup in 2004 and crazy things started to happen with all the other teams.

Who else is following the NBA playoffs?
