4/8: A parting shot -- Wiz @ mistake by the lake
Had to get this up before Ji did something else stupid.
One last chance to give the Travs something about this summer (after they lose in the playoffs)...

Cavs went and got blown out by the Magic.
It would be extremely demoralizing to the Cavs, who are 36-1 at home. The Celtics went 40-1 in the regular season (back when they got all the calls at home just like Cleveland does).
For the Wizards to actually win in Cleveland, they'd have to outplay them by 15 just to get a 1 point win, if you know what I mean.
Wizards will very likely lose, but a close game is as good as a win IMO.

Agree..and I live in this God-forsaken 1-horse town (Cleveland)! Ugh

One horse town? Come on. Cleveland gets an undeserved bad rap, but there is plenty to do. I mean Cleveland doesn't have all the hustle and bustle of say a Frankfort, but who needs that kind of stress?
Where else on God's green, but Cleveland, can you wake-up Saturday morning to the smell of manufacturing; tell your roller-derby gal to throw on her best bedazzled, moose sweater and New Balances; hit the bi-annual Ms. Pac Man championship; then tour the rubber plant; and round out the evening campin' in front of Target for Kenny Loggins' tickets? Not to mention the city's heralded tradition of smokin' meth and tossin' rocks in the lake... on a Wednesday afternoon...
If that's not livin', I don't wanta know what is...

Re: 4/8: A parting shot -- Wiz @ mistake by the lake
I don't really expect the Wiz to win, but it would be soooo sweet. If the Wiz knock off the Traveliers, it would mean the following:
1. Drop the Travs to a tie with the Lakers for best record in the NBA.
2. If they finish tied for the best record, it would give the Lakers (I presume) home court advantage should they meet in the Finals.
3. Keep the Travs from tying the Celtics for best home record in NBA history. (Which would be a real travesty, not least because of that pathetic display of officiating on Christmas Day)
4. Give the Wiz the season series victory over the Cavs. (Again - they could claim a virtual "sweep" based on the 1st game at Cleveland)
5. Get inside their heads for next season.
Oh it would be so sweet - and wouldn't really hurt us in the Tankalympics. C'mon Wiz!

Gotta say I agree with severn hoos, but will have to basically have solid to good performances from Arenas, Jamison, Butler, Haywood, and probably a good game off the bench from Young and some rebounding from Dominic, even still we'd need some luck and the refs not totally handing it to the Cavs.

Washington coming off 3 days rest
Cleveland coming off 2 days rest
Side Show Bob did not play last game
Nick Young took a nasty spill last game but should be rested.
Gilbert coming off 5 days rest. His last game was a win against Cleveland at home.
We match up well against them when healthy. We are now long enough and athletic enough to outmatch them.
Last game in Cleveland we got robbed.
Haywood is already balling after only 3 games back. Z is Haywood's bitch.
The new Gil is passing like Magic. Hopefully he finds his shot/3 ball for this game.
There own coach said they have only won one quarter of ball against us this year. We are in their heads. We are going to beat them again and bump these Crabiliars out of first place.
This is going to be like a playoff game. The crowd will be going nuts.

Good luck guys... I know how much these games mean to you... Too bad the Cavs don't seem to feel that way
