Wizards looking to sweep Celtics



posted by thatwizard guy on May 2 at 7:23pm

The Washington Wizards are going into game 4 of the first round of the playoffs with one thing on their minds -- Sweep the Celtics and get some added rest.

If the Wizards defeat the Celtics they will face either the #3 Detroit Pistons or the #5 Orlando Magic in the next round.

"Were ready for it." says Josh Howard. "We want to sweep em'."

With just 1:59 left to play the Boston Celtics were trailing the Washington Wizards 79-78. It didn't look like they were going to win, but they somehow slotted a few extra points and had a big six point lead. With Josh Howard's three pointers and John Wall's Clutch play the Wizards were back in the game with just 15 seconds, the game looked like it could go either way.

The Celtic's got one back with just five seconds left courtesy of Kevin Garnett. What happened next was incredible to the Wizard fans inside a packed arena that was excrutiatingly painful for Boston Celtic fans. With just 1.4 seconds remaining and trailing 89-86 Josh Howard made his three point throw, which went through the hoops to send the game to overtime.

And that's when the Boston Celtics fatigue came in to play, John Wall who had put up 21 points in the first quarter alone made some critical field goals to give the Wizards a 101-95 victory, and a win that sent the Celtics out of the competition without a single win.

You can thank John Wall for that who recorded 41 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and a block. How good did he play? One of the best performences of the playoffs for sure, he is already the most accurate, this game going 20 of 25 and 1-1 on field goals and three pointers.

"We knew he was going to be a handful, well congratulations to them, they were by far the better team throughout the series, we can't play the what if's game if we put performences like tonight's in throughout the series, history is history, and good luck to them in the future games." said Doc Rivers after the game four loss, which sent the Celtics out.

Throughout the Wizards locker room pregame the song "Champion" by Flipsyde was booming and the players were quitley thinking about the game they were going to try and finish off the Boston Celtics, once and for all during the 2010-11 NBA season.

"We listened to it because we want to win, we want to be champions, we don't want to settle for anything less, we are here to play, and that's what we have been doing and will continue to do, we are here to wreck havok." said John Wall who put in some memorable performences, especially game fours.

Wall has averaged 32 points per game, and 29 before game four's overtime win. Flip Saunders, coach of the Washington Wizards said: "It just shows he's going so much better, I can't stress how much to say, we wouldn't be here without John, he's been fabolous this year, and I stand by my comments at how he was robbed of the MVP title by some choke artist."

Now the Washington Wizards will wait at least a few more days to learn how they will play next in the 2011 NBA Playoffs, one now which they could be considered favorites after the sweep of the Boston Celtics, who have appeared in 2 of the last 3 NBA Finals, and won one of them in 2008.

Predicting the Eastern Conference last four's fate

posted by thatwizardguy on May 12 at 7:05pm


Regular Season Finish: 17-12 (#6 Seed)
Where will they finish?: Lose to Wizards, 4-3 in Eastern Conference Semi-Finals

The Orlando Magic are trying to get back to the NBA Finals, there last appearance was in the 2009 NBA Finals, which they lost, 4-2 to the Los Angeles Lakers. Can the Magic go all the distance again and further that year with a Final win? Probably not. They face the #2 seeded Washington Wizards who are far better right now and have major impact players such as Josh Howard and John Wall. I don't think they will be able to keep up with the Wizards, they may be able to take them to a game 7, but it remains to be seen if the Magic can win a Final with Dwight Howard on the roster.


Regular Season Finish: 21-8 (#2 Seed)
Where will they finish?: Lose to Thunder, 4-3 in 2011 NBA Finals

The Washington Wizards haven't reached the NBA Finals for some time, infact it's been 32 years long waiting in the capital of the USA. Led by John Wall and backed up by Josh Howard, this year's Washington Wizards are no joke and have shocked a lot of people thus far in the regular season and the playoffs, Do I think it's there year? No, but I believe this is the year that the Wizards set themselves apart from the rest of the Eastern Conference, just like the Lakers have done in the West for quite some time. I believe this year's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the finals will be a page turn in that underachieving franchise.


Regular Season Finish: 26-3 (#1 Seed)
Where will they finish?: Lose to Bulls, 4-2 in Eastern Conference Semi-Finals

The Miami Heat had one of the best offseason's one team could possibly want. Signing the big three superstars Lebron James, Chris Bosh and DeWayne Wade (resigned) a lot of the sports writers had donned them the team to beat, they were right winning .869% of their games finishing with an admirable 26-3 record. Although they beat the Lakers, they lost to the Wizards quite easily and could face them in the next round, however I believe this year's Chicago Bulls will defeat this year's Miami Heat in the six games, It will be the biggest upset of the season, and it has been brewing ever since the Bulls came back from a 3-1 deficit against the New York Knicks.


Regular Season Finish: 17-2 (#5 Seed)
Where will they finish?: Lose to Wizards, 4-1 in Eastern Conference Finals

The Chicago Bulls have probably the most well rounded roster in the entire NBA, led by Derrick Rose, these Chicago Bulls are hard to beat, or finish off. (Note to New York Nicks: Don't lose a 3-1 series lead again.) Rose has done wonders for the Bulls franchise this season, although he isn't as good as John Wall, Rose has the tendancy to make the game winning shots and lead his team to victories, something Lebron James hasn't proven, Rose has that chance in the next week and a half to defeat the Heat and advance to the Conference Finals for the first time in 13 years. However I do believe they will crumble against the Wizards in the Conference Finals, postponing their first NBA championship even further than those 13 long years.

Regular Season Finish: 24-5 (#1 Seed)
Where will they finish?: Lose to Thunder, 4-2 in Western Conference Finals

It's not surprising that the Lakers clinched the 1st seed for the third consecutive season, they have the best player in the league in Kobe Bryant who is surrounded by a flock of talent, these Lakers are trying to win their third consecutive nba title, they're trying to make the NBA Finals for the eight time in eleven years and are trying to become the most winningest team in the league, but what is stopping them? The Oklahoma Thunders, In my opinion are their biggest threat to the crown, and it's the team I'm choosing that will defeat the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals game. I think the Lakers might win it next year, but right now I'm going with the Oklahoma Thunders as the 2011 NBA Finals champion.


Regular Season Finish: 16-13 (#3 Seed)
Where will they finish?: defeat the Wizards, 4-3 in 2011 NBA Finals

Your lying if you don't think this team is for real this year, and your crying if you live back in the state or Washington or Seattle, because shortly after that move, these Thunder's might actually win something big, big as in a Big Golden Trophy, proclaiming themselves as the best team in the NBA, something that is a big possibility this season, and something that I think will happen. It's always a possibility when your have Kevin Durant on your team, but right now I have to think the Thunder will win, they might of not beaten the Wizards, Heat or Lakers during the regular season, but I think after that Suns performence, there the best of the west.


Regular Season Finish: 15-14 (#5 Seed)
Where will they finish?: lose to Lakers, 4-0 in Western Conference Semi-Finals

This team has always made the playoffs or crept in the past few years, but now It's going to be noticed, the Lakers will sweep them with their far superior roster and move on, theres nothing to hate about the Jazz, but there is nothing to like about their bland roster, It could be a couple of seasons and high draft picks before the Utah Jazz make a real decent push to become a power house in the Western Conference, but right now there just a team there to be eliminated, an extra body if you will in the playoffs.


Regular Season Finish: 13-16 (#7 Seed)
Where will they finish?: lose to Thunder, 4-0 in Western Conference Semi-Finals

One of the few teams that entered the post season with a losing record, that just doesn't cut it when you have a higher chance or facing a far better team in the later rounds, there not going to do well against the Oklahoma City Thunder, I can gaurantee that they will be swept, it's no hatred towards them but right now, I just can't see them winning games against my paper champion. Good luck next year Mavericks, this year isn't your year.

Thunder win this year
I think 4-1 or 4-2, cause Magic finished season sixth in East.

How the hell did the Craptors won two games against the Heat?

Surprising sweep, but you'll face the Heat, not the Bulls, in the conference Finals.

Spotlight game: No. 6 Orlando Magic at No. 2 Washington Wizards


John Wall celebrates the sweep of the Boston Celtics

Place: Verizon Center, Washington, D.C.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
TV: ESPN

Three Reasons why Washington will win

John Wall. If you haven't felt the presence of John Wall yet, you havent watched them enough, the Celtics felt his presence a bit too much, a major reason why the Celtics got swept by the Washington Wizards. Wall is a gifted player with dynamic passing and shooting instincs. Wall guided the Wizards to a 21-8 season and more importantly has performed at a higher level during the playoffs, something the Wizards needed and will continue to expect of Wall, can the Magic's defense led by Dwight Howard prevent Wall from getting 32 points per game? That's his playoff average against a tough Celtics defense.

Josh Howard. Other than John Wall the Washington Wizards will rely more than ever on Josh Howard to make his three pointers, the hero of game 4 against the Celtics, who netted a 3 pointer with a second reamining to send the game to overtime, which was eventually won by the Wizards. Expectations are high and Howard has all the intangibles to be a great player, with John Wall feeding him the ball, this team can do wonders, he isn't the only great player who can shoot some hoops, but when you need that critical three point basket, Howard is one of the guys you want shooting the ball.

Homecourt Advantage. The Wizards Verizon Center was the loudest it has been all season, whether that was to see John Wall or the Wizards in general, the home team had a huge boost and it payed dividends as the Wizards went on to blowout the Celtics twice at home, before finally sweeping them. It's going to be interesting how loud the Wizards Arena get if the Wizards advance deeper into the playoffs.

Three Reasons why Orlando will win

Defense. The Orlando Magic boast one of the best defenses in the league, and they're going against one of the top offensive players in the league, the Wizards also don't miss a lot of their shots, so it's going to be interesting to see how the matchup pans out for the series, Dwight Howard will most likely shadow John Wall when he's inside 15 feet of the glass.

Dwight Howard. One of the most talented players in the league right about now, Howard will be the sole of the Magics defense and offense, he could be the teams leading points scorer and teams best defensive player, with John Wall in the lineup it will be interesting to see if the Magic double team him or leave him to the point guard or Dwight Howard. Howard quite easily could cause some problems for the Washington Wizards but was pretty much shut out during game 22 of the regular season.

Talent. The Magic have one of the best rosters in the NBA, the Wizards could face the Celtics, Magic and Heat on their way to the NBA Championship, theres no question that the Celtics didn't drain the Wizards out, but the Magic quite easily could wear and tear the Wizards down, the Magic are one of the dark horses of the competition although they entered the playoffs with the #6 seed comapred to the Wizards #2.

Who Will win the series: The Washington Wizards: A lot of people think it's their year, after that performence against the Celtics, they have to be considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference Finals game, but first they have to beat a huge obstacle in their path.

[thatwizardguy]

Good luck against Magic.

Thanks, Although I do think I'm going to beat them if I swept the Celtics, it's the Heat and Lakers I'm worried about lol.

[Justine.]

If you gonna bump the difficulty to all-star or superstar, i'm pretty sure the series will go for the Magic. Just look the averages of your starters compared to them Wall is exceptional of course.
