I figured no one would call you on this comment, so I will.
I watched...and I was right.

It won't matter cause Washington and Boston won't meet. We are the elite, and you are the posers. You won't beat Cleveland first round (assuming that is who you will face).

I also said:

It seems that Boston has difficulty with athletic teams, but given the chance to face them in a 7 game series, the Celts would prepare better for it. But again, it's all moot cause you will be dismissed far before you'll have to face the best team in basketball in a series.

Atlanta was pretty athletic, and for some reason we couldn't beat them on the road. We completely dominated them at home though.
game 1- 104-81 (23 point difference)
game 2- 96-77 (19 point difference)
game 5- 110-85 (25 point difference)
game 7- 99-65 (34 point difference)
The celts lost by 9 / 5 / and 3 in the 3 losses.
I am very concerned about the fact that Atlanta gave us a good run, but Cleveland isn't as athletic as Atlanta.

The Wizards had a decent team this year, but they need better role players, and they need to take better shots. They also need to stop talking so much until AFTER they do something. Their mouths just bought them a 3rd straight defeat.

We'll see how the series goes with the Cleveland Lebrons. Pretty soon you'll be upset about how many calls Lebron gets as well

LOL...you might be right...we'll have to wait and see.

WOW!
Your first point was that Boston won't make it far in the playoffs. They won it all.
Your second point is that the Wizards are going to shock some folks, suggesting they will go far in the playoffs. They lost first round.

Please state for the record that Dallas will win it all and the Skins have no chance.
I'm tired of the Skins losing and you appear to the opposite of right.

I actually authored that article, ST21.

Zards got smoked by the Pistons tonight, it was ugly

Wizards still have a chance to get home-court advantage over the Cavs since they won and the Cavs lost tonight. Anybody else excited about our chances against the Cavs in the playoffs this season? I'd like our chances even more if we got home-court advantage. If the Cavs lose to the Pistons (which there is a good chance they will given the way they've been playing) and the Wiz beat Orlando (not such an easy task) then we'll be in good shape for the playoffs.

Personally I would have been happier playing Orlando rather than playing Cleveland, because LBJ showed everyone last year his one man show, and since they traded for some guys at the break now he has some others who can score. The reason that I would have rather faced Orlando is because of the physical way Brendan Haywood played against him, he also did a great job of defending him, if Gil and Caron are healthy, we could make a deep run in the playoffs no matter who we play.

They had a better record before the trade. They've hovered around .500 ever since.

What the F? Are the refs f'n serious? They handed the Cavs the game against the '6ers. I'm feeling pretty pissed off right now, I was sitting here thinking the Cavs lost 89-90 and then I get on NBA.com and it says they won 91-90. So I'm thinking there must be some mistake or something, so I watch the highlights on Comcast Sportsnet and they said that someone called a foul with like .2 of a second left on the clock and the dude sank them both to give the Cavs the win. What kind of m.f.ing bullshit is that? The game was f'n over. The refs literally just took the opportunity for home-court advantage away from the Wizards. This just pisses me off.

If LeBron was the guy who was "fouled" it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Sickening. Although Cleveland's next game is against Detroit, and I doubt the Pistons would play their key guys very much given the 2 seed is a foregone conclusion.

It was nice to see Blatche, Mason Jr, and Nick Young play so well tonight for the Wiz.

I believe he was, he was driving in the paint with like a second left on the clock and then there was a whistle, but they continued playing and he missed the shot and then somebody put the rebound in but the clock had already expired before he shot it. So the '6ers assumed they had the game won and went to the locker room, but the refs looked it over and gave him two foul shots and they both went in.

Just saw the highlight on SportsCenter. What a HUGE joke. My god. That was one of the worst things I've ever seen. And they get that call on the road no less. Unf-ingbelievable.

In fairness didn't something very similar happen with Agent Zero last year (against the Warriors I think)

It shouldn't have happened, it was a bull shit foul, and if it weren't called we might have had home field advantage going into the playoffs, maybe Stern will make them replay there game like that one game that the Heat had to.
