3 GAMES OUT... GILBERT AND CARON ON THE HORIZON... DO WE WANT TO CATCH TORONTO?

by kdp922 on Mar 5, 2008 6:21 AM EST

I mean, let's be honest... I know that Orlando has the better record and all. But is anyone really worried more about an inexperienced Orlando squad then they are over LeBron? I can't see it.

I don't know, maybe I'm naive. Of course, any success in the playoffs for us is contingent on a healthy Gilbert and Convict. But I think, healthy, we are a better team then Orlando with MUCH more playoff experience I think we'd be able to lean on enough to overcome the man beast that is Dwight Howard.

But seriously, we all know that the combination of LeBron being given the gifts, and the scorn we receive... from the zebras makes our task that much more daunting against the Cavs. Yes, horrible refs follow us everywhere we go, but against the Cleveland bias in a round 1 series??? Scary.

I'm inclined to want to stay right where we are. #6 with momentum means we'd have to face Orlando and Detroit instead of Cleveland and Boston in order to get the the Eastern Conference finals. I know where I stand.
Your thoughts?

I Agree

The problem is that the Wizards are more likely to fall to the 7th or 8th seed than they are to rise up to the 5th or 4th seed. We still have no idea when Gil or Caron will suit up again, so it's best for the Wizards to simply try to win every game they can and let the seedings work themselves out.

Just Like Jamison Said.....

The Wiz are not worried about the teams ahead of them, but the teams chasing them.

UNFORTUNATELY

The Wiz are PLAYING like they are worried about the teams behind them. Last time I checked, winner mentalities think positively. Losers wonder how long they can last without being caught.
