May 7, 200521 yr I would have been more worried about playing the Bulls, who have a better team than Washington does. However, since the Heat are now going to play their division rivals the Wizards, who I don't think we ever lost to in the regular season this year, I predict that we will have another sweep over them. GO HEAT! :thumbup (Game 1: Sunday afternoon in Miami)
May 7, 200521 yr Author We haven't lost to the Wizards in TWO SEASONS, as it turns out. Put me down for the sweep.
May 7, 200521 yr 4-0. Heat. When a team goal is to make it to the 2nd round, they are gonna get rocked by a team who wants to win it all.
May 7, 200521 yr i also think the wiz can win a game or 2... not likely 2 but i think they can get atleast 1

Mostly because no Washington Bullets/Wizards team has made the second round in 23 years. I also agree that this series will be less competitive than the Nets series, where they really played hard against us, especially Game 3.
May 7, 200521 yr i thought we matched up slightly better against the bulls, but hey, at least the wiz don't have a counterpart to nocioni. i'm thinking we'll win in 5 or 6.
May 7, 200521 yr Wiz will steal 1 since they have some streak shooters, but the Heat will score 100+ in every game and win in 5. Washington is not very good, but was very good at beating a team destroyed by injuries to get this far.
May 7, 200521 yr MCI crowd and refs will get the Wiz one or two games. 765528[/snapback] the refs will never side against a team that has Shaq on it...
May 7, 200521 yr i also think the wiz can win a game or 2... not likely 2 but i think they can get atleast 1 765576[/snapback] Based on what? I think New Jersey was a better team than either the Bulls or the Wizards. After watching the way the Wizards struggled to beat a battered Bulls team, especially on the defensive end, I just don't see how Washington can be competitive against the Heat. The Bulls were able to get to the rim pretty much at will, but just couldn't finish. I don't see Shaq and Wade having the same problem.
May 7, 200521 yr heat in 5, shaq is gonna be pretty upset that he didn't win the mvp... :plain uh oh!
May 7, 200521 yr Tomorrow is a key game (derr, no kidding). If the Wiz come out with the same energy they used to beat the Bulls and keep it close, they could steal one or two when the series shifts back to Washington. However, if the Wiz that played Miami in the regular season comes out and the Heat steamroll them, you can pretty much see Washinton going down for the count.
May 8, 200521 yr Washington Wizards, that's a name that strikes fear in the hearts of all who hear it. *yawns Sweep, easily. :thumbup

I also think they have decent enough of a mix of big bodies down low (Brenda, Ruffin, Thomas) who won't get completely bullied by Shaq. Just my opinion. Either way, I really don't care. Heat will win the series.
