DeShawn Stevenson will get his wish of facing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
With the Toronto Raptors losing today to the Detroit Pistons, the Wizards are ensured that they will finish no worse than fifth place in the East. Boston, Detroit and Orlando are locked in at first, second and third place, respectively, so that leaves Cleveland and Washington to vie for fourth place. The Wizards are 1.5 games back of Cleveland, which plays Miami today and then has a game against the 76ers and the Pistons left on the schedule. The Wizards play host to the Pacers tomorrow night, then travel to Orlando on Wednesday. Can the Wizards overtake the Cavaliers for fourth? Or will they remain in fifth place?
Either way, whenever the Wizards take on the Cavaliers at Verizon Center, whether it's to start the playoffs or in Game 3, be sure to check out the court-side seats!
Remember, D-Steve said he's going to have Soulja Boy sitting on the front row, "wearing a DeShawn Stevenson jersey" after LeBron James said him commenting on Stevenson calling him overrated to Jay-Z stooping to comment on trash talk from Soulja Boy.
And of course there's the whole rivalry with Cleveland, which has bounced the Wizards out of the playoffs the last two seasons. Will this be the year the Wizards get over the hump? We shall see. ...

Well the worst kept secret is out,the LeBron's and the Wiz meet for the third year in a row and this should be a classic the Wiz will be at full strength this time around. No excuses from either team,I like the Zards in this one Cleveland's chemistry since sending Larry Hughes,and Drew Gooden away has been off and I think the big three(Jamison,Butler,and Arenas)will do more than enough to prevail, I like the Wiz in six.

Darnell, I agree with you that the Wizards have a very good shot. If they can keep it to six games, I think they seal the deal. If it goes to seven games, in Cleveland, you know the calls will go to King James and the Wizards will have a tougher time.
