I say the 4-5 Cavs vs Wizards matchup.


First off, the 4-5 are usually the most compelling due to the fact these teams are usually close to equal for talent levels. Then you throw in the fact basically the entire Wizards team has been talking "mud" and you have fireworks.

I might have picked the Wizards to win this matchup they started to run their mouths. Now I feel, and I believe Lebron feels, that Mr. James has to prove himself. We could see him drop forty 3-4 times.

A very underrated/p*ssed Wizards team facing King James and company who are even more p*ssed makes for the best 1st round matchup in the east.


I think the Hawks vs the Celtics. Hawks have a very good young team. You have Bibby, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Al Horford rookie of the year runner up more then likely. I saw on ESPN that some writers picked Josh Smith for defensive player of the year. The main people voted on KG. Could be interesting. The Hawks are a run and gun team. They have tons of young legs. Of course the Celtics will win. I just think the Hawks will show some promise and get their first playoff victory in 9 years. The hype for the Hawks being in the playoffs in GA is unbelievable. We know are team is young but has promise. We have puzzled the pieces together and Joe Johnson is are savior. Why did he want to go to the Hawks? Billy Knight's decision making has FINALLY paid off. I have my tickets already to the first home game in ATL.


Wow I thought you would chose Sixers vs Pistons.

Im not sure how this is a great matchup at all. Just look at their games this season:

106-83 Boston W
98-88 Boston W
99-89 Boston W

They have won every game by at least double digits! This game will most likely end in four games, five tops. And of course the men in green will come out on top.


This Cavs vs Wiz matchup is very even. Look at their games so far:

105-86 Wizards W
121-85 Cavs W
90-89 Cavs W
101-99 Wizards W

Their season series is tied 2-2. They each blew out each other and they each one a close game. (And when I mean close I mean 2 points or less.) This just shows how equal these teams truly are.

I rather see the matchup between two teams that split their season series over two team where one team dominated their season series.


It will be INTERESTING TO see how dominate the Celtics are against a young thriving team.

The Wiz have a nice team of Butler, Jamison, and Agent 0 but i just can't believe KING JAMES won't wreck havoc deep in the playoffs.
