IF Toronto losses today should we rest our Big 3?

Miami's trying to fight back. 78-73 missed FT hurt.

Heat are the worst team I've ever seen assembled.

Its over, 80-73 Cavs. We need Philly and Detroit to win. I think Philly wins tomorrow. They are mad they lost last night. Detroit is the key game. They will be resting starters, but as we saw firsthand, Maxiel, Stuckey, Afflalo, Johnson, and even Hayes can play solid basketball.

Cleveland will lose to Philly if they play anything like this.

Detroit might beat them, too.

Damn it, I'm calling it. We still get homecourt. Any other nba team beats the Cavs tonight. Philly will run them out of the building tomorrow. They are angry and Lebron will want no party of Reggie Evans inside. Detroit's young players will play with purpose to show they want PT.

Especially because it forces LeBron to play, bad back and all. Our team has proven it can win with missing/dinged up starters, but the Cavs minus LeBron have a harder time staying afloat.


actually the best reason I've read so far to keep on pushing.

Miami didn't help us tonight but who really thought they would.

But they did give them a fight.

If Washington doesn't beat the Cavs in the playoffs I think it's probably time to make major changes.

Cleveland's got one guy and against the Wizards Z gets going way too much due to how they play him.

The Cavs shouldn't win a series against a more talented, far more cohesive team.

One thing is clear. The Wizards are hurt by ultra-athletic teams. Cleveland has only two above average athletes: Lebron and Devin Brown. I hope and pray Mike Brown continues to not play Joe Smith more minutes. He's their third best player.

Exactly CCJ. I want this series to be Bulls-Heat last year. Just go there and CRUSH THEM! Have the killer instinct. Jamison showed me that against Boston. We know Caron has that. Deshawn is the missing link. He HATES Cleveland. JJ was too nice on the court. DeShawn making 3s will be the key to the series. And, please EJ, NO DOUBLE TEAMING Z!

With the playoffs approaching, teams are going to tighten their rotations.

Cavs starters:
PG: West
SG: Brown
SF: Lebron
PF: Wallace
C: Z

Haywood guards Z, Jamison on Wallace, DS on Lebron, Butler on Brown, and AD on West.

Brown will make Varajeo his 3rd big (instead of playing Joe Smith. A big mistake. Joe won't get much PT, and that's a good thing for the Wizards).
Gibson will be the 3rd guard, and Sash will be the 3rd forward.

Wally, Joe Smith, and Damon Jones won't get PT.

We will crush them.

The big difference ? We are a team of talent. No more Big 3 crap.

GA of the bench. No Hibachi. He's the Secret Weapon.

AD, DS, CB, AJ, BH, GA, RM, AB, SONG, NY & DMAC

Now we have a 1/2 court offense and a fast break offense.
And with the right players on the court we can play D and trap.

Even AJs D got better. Much better.

We are a lot better then the team they played 2 years ago and more experienced. And DS hates LeTravel. DS, CB and AJ will get us going then GA will keep it doing and help take up home.

Hell, I have us in the conference finals so DET is just a bump.

Cursing down the road. Tones jamming. Bump Bump. ****. What was that? Turn the tunes back up and keep on cursing. Reach over and grab your chicks leg. :) Bmm Dun Bummm bum boom bomm

Cavs have players who can get real hot from the 3 and hit them if there left wide open. I don't think its as easy as you guys might think.

That is the key. No more double teaming crap. With Big Ben and Vareajeo, you can leave those guys open and double off. The key is that the Cavs don't have a big that shoots 3s.

The one thing that ALWAYS pisses me off when we play the Cavs is that we don't drive to the basket. We would humble them if we drove to the hole at will because they have nobody to stop it. Ben Wallace nor Big Z are intimidating inside.

well we are all talking about the CAVs but we don't have a thread.

A what point do we create one? I have learned there is some standing on one foot while throwing salt over your shoulder way of doing this. But I can't remember all the details.

Though, the one time I started a thread early, we did win :)


Question 2 - Can we start visiting the CAVs board and doing some friendly taunting.

Something like. Tap Tap. Excuse me friend. Can you move over. I'm on a mission from God and your, well. In the way.

Or the theme from Jaws.

I wouldn't recommend it. They take trolling, whether it be serious or just in good fun, very seriously. Your call, though.

Let me just put it out there now. I've always adhered to the rules of this forum, and have never trolled on any board with any ill intent. I've always tired to be classy and respectful. However, when we beat the Traveliers this year. I FULLY INTEND TO GET MYSELF WAIVED FOR WHAT I PLAN TO DO ON THE CAVS BOARD. Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to use any profanities or be disrespectful to anyone. I just know the perfect way to rub it in their faces. So, Wizboard Mods...and snitch. Feel free to try and stop me, but I won't be denied. What I do, I do for the love of this team and nothing else. If this account be martyred so be it. I shall be reborn!!!

Go Wiz!!!!!!

Return to Washington Wizards
