Everybody knows that the 6th, 7th, and 8th seed will get sweep or they maybe lucky enough to steal one game. Everybody over looks Orlando, well Orlando have upgraded their team from last years. I can reall see Lewis, Howard, and Turkoglu really showing off. Orlando has something to prove and even if Detroit wins it won be a pretty series for them and they'll be pretty banged up as well for the next round. As for Cleveland they alway been a good defencive team, and adding Ben Wallace doesn't hurt it either. James stormed trough Detroit and he'll do the same for Boston. I just can't see him being put out in the second round. The second round will go as follow:
Boston Vs. Cleveland ( Cleveland in 7 and by 10 or more points)
Detroit Vs. Orlando (Orlando in 7 Rashard Lewis is going to play his A$$ off )
There I said it secound round upsets for the Eastern Conference

Orlando FTW!
I think if HighRyzer gets into an accident and loses half his brain he will still be the smartest poster on this board. HighRyzer83 is the man!

why can't orlando dominate the wizards? is gilbert arenas gonna come and save the day, lol. seriously how many times has a player came back from knee surgery for maybe the last 10 games of the season and immediately returned to his prime form after nearly a year of no basketball to pull off an upset against a 50+ win team. this story is far fetched and not realistic. washington is one of worst teams at defending the 3 point line and orlando is one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the nba. its not gonna happen. people are delusional to think otherwise.

Well if there is a player it would be Gilbert, its not just him when they have that trio, its going to be tough, I wouldn't guarantee getting out of the west for them.

who's talking about arenas?
i dont think magic will "dominate" wizards (with or without arenas) anyway.
magic is definitely the favorite, but not a lock.

You mean like how we beat your team in your court last night with 1 and a half players and a bunch of scrubs and role players?
YADADAMEAN. Imagine how bad we would have pounded you if Caron was fully healthy to go along with Jamison + a partialy healthy Arenas (whos 10X the player Antonio Daniels is).

The Magic lost last night I think against the Wiz, without Arenas.
and dwight howard and rashard combined for 10 points. the magic only shot 33% and dwight howard only played 31 minutes. if the wizards didn't win that game then they just down right suck. sadly they only won by 1 point.

It's a two-way street, buddy. If Turkoglu doesn't go for a career high and if Caron Butler was healthy enough to play effectively on offense (chipped bone in his hand) and defense (he has a torn labrum in his hip), the Wizards remain the winners. Oh, and add Gilbert into the equation and our chances raise even more.
But at the end of the day, what transpired is what transpired. You can say all day long "Well, if this didn't happen", etc, but it doesn't mean much. It's better to take a loss with class.

hedo turkoglu always does well against the wizards this season maybe not 39 points but he could easily be putting up 25ppg on the wizards in the playoffs since you guys basically leave him open at the 3 point line. caron butler by himself scored more points than rashard and dwight so i would say howard and rashard only scoring 10 points is extremely more abnormal than butler dropping just 11 points. i am being classy. Bar none the magic played their worst game of the season. so really am i suppose to put any stock into this game? its the wizard fans who come out claiming we just beat you the other nite. but its not like we didn't beat the wizards twice already. even once with arenas, although not himself, was still easily capable of scoring 20 points.

Keith Bogans isn't going to average 14ppg against us.
Turkoglu isn't going to shoot 7-9 from 3pt range (and yes, the reason he did this was A) Caron is hurt and not able to move and B) he was frigging not missing).
Roger Mason Jr. isn't going to shoot 1-8 on open jumpers
etc, etc, etc.
Haywood played excellent defense on Howard, forcing a lot of contested shots, turnovers and fouls. Part of it was (the opposite of Turkoglu) Howard having an off game, but the biggest factor was Haywood. So even though I wouldn't expect Dwight to average 3ppg against us, I wouldn't expect him to get his normal averages.
The whole point of this is that it's not so easy to say "If this didn't happen" because both teams can say that about a number of things. In the end, the score is the score and it's on to the next game.
