Wiz in 6.

Wiz vs Cavs - Wiz in 5.

 

[dream]

I don't think the Wiz can do it in 5, but I don't see how Cleveland can beat the Wizards. Wall, Gortat, Beal, Pierce, Porter...Washington just has better players than the Cavs.

 

[Uno Venova]

This Wiz team looks like they can get to the Finals, but you can never underestimate the Cavs asshole threes.

 

[dream]

I take your point, but I feel like when a team's best chance of winning hinges on J.R. Smith, they've already lost.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

It is laughable that people think that the Wizards will beat the Cavs.

ikr. I can only post that gif so many times. It's moot though, the Wiz aren't getting past the Hawks.

 

[dream]

It is laughable that people think that the Wizards will beat the Cavs.

I thought so too at one point, but look at their rosters. The Wiz are better in every position other than Lebron.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The bulls are garbage and they were still a benched Noah away from a 3-1 lead. Wiz could beat the Cavs in 5 in my factless opinion.

 

[sooperkool]

Thats a big exception

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No it isn't.

Now that the Spurs are out, any team can win it all.

Except the Rockets.

One could say the same thing about the Bulls. Yet, the same thing applies to both teams they have nobody that can stop Lebron. Not counting out the Bulls yet, since they have Pau Gasol back. People getting deceived by the performance of the Wizards frontcourt. Nene and Gortat are old and these good games from them are aberrations. John Wall is still inconsistent dude is shooting less than 40 percent from the field in these playoffs. He will cost his team games like he usually does.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That organ tho.

 

[dream]

I think Pierce is a big intangible though, MetalFearSolid. I sort of suspect that if he's not still in Lebron's head, he'll be renting space in there after game 1.

Fair points but most teams are better overall than the Cavs, they just have 2 and a half players that tip the scales.

With that said, if Wall is somewhat healthy, the Wizards will present serious problems for the shallow Cavaliers.

I agree about Nene and Gortat though, they aren't as good as they seemed to be in the past.

In fact, Nene looks like he forgot how to play basketball, maybe he's just there to be a goon now.

Finally something we agree on ;o

Last year, Lebron James scored 49 points against the Nets in ECSF GM4 with Pierce guarding him. Lebron will pick Pierce apart, he can't even stick him anymore on those drives to the basket.

Lebron is way past the point of Pierce owning him psychologically, I mean Game 6 in Boston where he had 44 points in the ECF showed me that.

To be fair, there were extenuating circumstances with the Nets. I could be completely decimated by a man in every possible emotional or psychological way, and be terrified of ever playing him. But if I look up and see Deron Williams, I'm thinking, "you know, today's going to be a pretty good day."

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

TI the IT guy. I should file a complaint for that shit.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

LOL Wiz

 

[RedEther]

Hawks waking up

 

[Soonri]

Atlanta picked the right time to start hitting shots

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Atlanta picked the right time to start hitting shots

and Wiz picked the worst time to start hoisting contested jumpers. I swear every team does that when they're up 10. Why do they stop attacking?

GSW usually don't stop.

Maybe they're tired and picking their spots.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What? Jump ball Lol please.

Love how the Wizards are making my argument for me.

 

[Soonri]

Gortat getting owned by Horford

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Wall nonchalantly swatted Young Thug's shot.

 

[friskykillface]

choke

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Huge collapse by the Wiz, can't say I didn't see it coming. Cavs let the Bulls back in the game this same way yesterday. Dunno if the Wiz can come back tho.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Gortat getting owned by Horford

Horford is the best player on the Hawks, I can't believe people dispute that.

They'll go as far as he takes them.

His midrange jumper is money in the bank.

Wall will deal with his injury for the rest of the playoffs, fractures take weeks to heal. He still will shoot those jumpers he thinks he can make.

To be fair, there were extenuating circumstances with the Nets. I could be completely decimated by a man in every possible emotional or psychological way, and be terrified of ever playing him. But if I look up and see Deron Williams, I'm thinking, "you know, today's going to be a pretty good day."

Fair enough, but I think Lebron will always picture Pierce in a Celtics jersey and play with a chip on his shoulder to make a statement that "You and me" ain't a rivalry.

 

[Afrikan]

OH GOD these anti Cigerate commercials are getting worse. Needle in the eye once a month? :x

man I hope smoking hookah doesn't do that shit.

 

[dream]

Full court pressure when you're up 3 is so rude.

.

I thought Wall was an athletic waste of a basketball player before but he's really improved but yeah, I will never fully trust anything he shoots from the outside.

I guess that's Beal's job though.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Atlanta dont let the old man take this.

 

[lovely ladies]

This organ version of All Day is hilarious.

 

[friskykillface]

lmao that didnt hit shit

 

[Vestal]

Replay shouldn't be fucking be a fucking time out. Shesh.

 

[Soonri]

LOL @ Atlanta playing Shots after a huge brick by Schroeder

 

[Red Comet]

I'm going to have a heart attack between this and the Caps game tonight.

 

[Vanillalite]

Replay shouldn't be fucking be a fucking time out. Shesh.

Time out... Shit is more like a 2nd half time

 

[sooperkool]

OH GOD these anti Cigerate commercials are getting worse. Needle in the eye once a month? :x

man I hope smoking hookah doesn't do that shit.

I have some macular degeneration and have gotten those shots, they arent that bad. First they load you up o valium and then its over so fast and you never see the needle. Take your hand and pat for eye moderately hard, thats what it feels like.

 

[Vestal]

Time out... Shit is more like a 2nd half time

Its ridiculous.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Warriors will win again especially with First Team All Defense not clamping down on Klay.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

The Truth, is False.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

LOL Pierce looking like a fool.

 

[Corran Horn]

Pierce lol

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Pierce what are you doing homie? You shoot 3s you dont drive to the hoop no more

 

[Redd]

The Truth might have gave game away. If i was hawks i would've held for last shot.

 

[Redd]

The Truth
