Prefer Cleveland or Washington in 1st round?

[Buyaka]

We have a better chance at beating Boston than Lebron in the playoffs. So, the answer is Washington.

If Bargnani is shooting well and Ford returns to his early December form, I'd say Cleveland. Cleveland's point guard play sucks, and I've never been a fan of Gooden. You double Lebron, and let the others beat you. With enough offence from Bosh and Bargnani, lt hughes and Gibson get their points. Washington, on the other hand, if their big three are healthy, presents a really difficult defensive challenge.

But a word of advice: Both Cleveland and Washington could be trading before the deadline. Cleveland needs a PG, Washington has two big free agents this summer - Arenas and Jamison, and you have to think that they might be a better balanced team if they moved Jamison for somebody like Gasol.

both. wizards first round, lebron after.

[Ttocca]

No doubt would rather play Washington

Cavs kill us on the boards and the got lebron ofcourse.
but my #1 choice would be Orlando.

LOL go look at what LeBron did to the blazers tonight........are you sure there is even a decision to make here?

[orangutooth]

no way do we beat the cavs. it'd be an offensive rebound fest.

the wizards, all healthy are actually probably still better than the raptors but no way do i want to play the cavs.

washington

You don't want to play the Cavs in the playoffs. The game slows down and becomes more physical. Cleveland can play great D and clean the glass. Besides, they'll have the best player on the floor in crunch time.

That's not a combination you want to go up against.
