Toronto's loss to Detroit on Sunday locked the Cavaliers and Wizards into the fourth and fifth seeds in the Eastern Conference, meaning that the two teams will do battle in the playoffs for the third straight year, according to The Gazette.

"I think everybody wants Cleveland in the first round," Gilbert Arenas wrote in a recent blog entry. "They’ve been a .500 team ever since they made that trade (for Ben Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak, Joe Smith and Delonte West) and everybody wants a chance at that matchup."

The teams are still jockeying for home court advantage in the first round with Cleveland holding a two-game lead.

"We want Cleveland for our own reasons," Arenas added. "We don’t think they can beat us in the playoffs for three years straight."
