I can't imagine the Cavs don't sweep this. Cleveland has enough big men (mostly decent to good defenders) to keep Jamison (the Wizards' only legitimate scoring threat) nice and harried, and with Jeffries long gone and Butler recently gone, Washington really has no one to even pretend to slow Lebron down.

I expect the Wizards to play their guts out since they have nothing to lose and lots to prove, and hopefully a spirited effort will give them some kind of momentum going into next season. This is a great opportunity for guys like Blatche, Mason and Harvey to garner some national attention and cement their role on the team going forward by stepping up big, since someone has to in order to avoid complete embarrassment on national television.

This could even be exciting to watch...at times. But the hard truth is that the Wizards team that earned a spot in the playoffs is not the Wizards team that will play in the playoffs. Doesn't matter how inconsistent the Cavs are. They can virtually mail it in and still win in 6 games. If they actually try, this should be a sweep.
