    I disagree. Is LeBron going to outscore Garnett,Pierce,Allen all by himself?
    That's what I thought last year except switch the Big 3 with the Pistons starting 5. LeBron won't outscore them but he can have a bigger impact than them.

    I want the Wizards to win though. I would love to see Cleveland lose in the 1st round.

    I always gave that argument against the Cavs for many years, but after seeing them push the Pistons to 7 games and beating them last year I cannot buy that anymore. Cleveland is a greater threat because LeBron can take over a series.

    Yeah but that Cavs team was better then this current team. Gooden was a bonehead and prone to being a defensive liabillity but the Pistons still had to respect his offense as well as Zydrunas thereby opening the floor for LeBron. The Cavs fans despised Hughes but his defense is missed. Plus LeBron outweighed Prince and Hamilton by like 100 pounds. The matchup between him and Pierce is even those two will cancel each other out.

    This really isn't surprising. It also wouldn't be surprising to see the Wiz choke the next game away, although I don't think they will.

    And I suppose that Detroit doing what they always do exhaling after a 2-0 lead had nothing to do with it? All I am saying is all things being equal if Boston does not mess around they should beat Cavs in 6. Don't get me wrong you have to respect them because of James but he is not enough.

    Using last years Pistons is a poor gauge.

    No other team takes quarters, halves and yes, even games off like the Pistons. They don't play with their full effort. Their mental approach is among the worst in the league.

    As evident in the first 2 games of the Sixers series...

    KG won't let his team take games off. They may lose some games along the way but it won't be for lack of effort.

    Maybe being the underdog vs. the Celtics will help them out.

    Yeah, Desahun Stevenson invited him to these 2 home games after the comments made by Lebron.

    Maybe the Wizards should just bench Arenas. They play better without him.

    I don't think we'll see the same lapses in effort against the Celts, as we did vs the Cavs.

    I think a lot of our problems come down to respect. The players didn't really believe that the Lebrons could beat them. They didn't respect them.

    They do however respect this Boston team.

    Playing in a weak Eastern conference, and being the only real quality team for a while...beating who they wanted when they wanted has made these guys have a superiority complex. They think they can just show up and win. I wish they played in the West so that they would always have to bring an A game. Always compete. And not have things given to them so much.

    See when the Wizards play smart defense and don't give hard fouls for the sake of giving them you see the Cavs offense is putrid. BTW Devin Brown real sportmanship there fouling when the game is over. Classy

    I agree but they sill "respected" Miami in 06 and still lost in 6 games.

    I do think fatigue was an issue that year .... the only year I'll use that excuse for... and it was largely our fault for allowing the semifinals go to a 7 game series vs the Cavs.

    But there's no doubt Wade took a big bite out of our ass in that series.
