What I do know is that the Cleveland Cavaliers suddenly look like the team to beat in the East.

I wouldn't put to much stock into the Cavs-Wizards series.
That is more like a WWE storyline than a playoff series. Some of the most ridiculous antics I have ever seen. Gilbert Arenas is the Chad Johnson of the NBA. DeShawn Stevenson is Freddie Mitchell with more talent.
Seriously, it is time to blow up the Wizards roster. They have a decent team but every time they play the Cavs in the playoffs, they just embarrass themselves. It seems the more they lose, the more they trash talk?

"I'm an assassin. I get buckets," the Washington Wizards guard said after Friday's practice. "I know I haven't played in a long time, but the shot is still there, so when I come off that bench, there is going to be some trouble."
"I think everybody wants Cleveland in that first round" and "We don't think they can beat us in the playoffs three years straight."

Today after practice, Brendan Haywood cracked everybody up with a response. Putting on a sorrowful expression and speaking in a high pitched, whining tone, Haywood said: "Ooooh, they're trying to hurt me!"
Going back to his natural voice he added:
"He wears 23, he wants to be Michael Jordan. I can respect that, he's a great player. But you saw what Mike when through. Mike got fouled way worse than this. No one's trying to hurt him. Everyone's trying to play basketball and trying to be tough. Play basketball and leave it alone. He's trying to hurt me! [whining tone again] C'mon.

I expect Agent Zero to sign with Dallas at the end of the season. He and Mark Cuban would make a great fit.
Stevenson actually is not that bad of a player, but he is a clown. IMO, he would be a great backup to Kobe. Let Phil do his magic on talented yet troubled players:
