Prediction: A Sweep

Ah the good ol' Wizards. Nothing builds confidence for an injury plagued team like a 97-82 loss in the playoff opener against the Cavs.

So I'm predicitng a sweep by the Cavs that will have the Wizards home this time next week.

What could have been one of the best series in the playoffs has been reduced to viewing that can be compared to the experiment carried out in A Clockwork Orange. No Arenas or Butler means no wins. The chemistry is gone and they are going up against one helluva team that includes Lebron James and Larry Hughes. How can we compete with that when Donnell Taylor plays 20 minutes a game?

The Wiz need to do a lot this offseason:

1. Lock down Arenas in a contract extension.
2. Draft someone who isn't going to be playing in eastern Europe for the next two years.
3. Hit the free agency hard. Remember Arenas says he'll restructure his contract in order to make cap room.
4. If not, trade for KG - Jamison and a draft pick should do the trick
5. Re-sign Stevenson... he's a lot better than a lot of people thought

We have a great team, but it needs to be better. Sorry fans... four and out and we'll see you next year.
