First game in playoff between Cleveland and Washington. Cleveland will be without Pavlovic and Snow. Washington also has some problems with injuries, but only Etan Thomas won't play. Butler has some problems with knee and he didn't play last 3 matches but he returned to practice on Thursday. He will play in the 1st game: "It doesn't even matter how I feel right now, it's the playoffs," Butler said. "I'm banged up a little bit everywhere but, at the same time, I have to go out there and do the best I possibly can do." Gilbert Arenas will be the only injured Wizards' player to be limited. Arenas will come off the bench for now, and still have his minutes monitored closely, but won't have to play any back-to-backs in the postseason. "Right now, we like it the way it is," Wizards coach Eddie Jordan said of Arenas coming off the bench. "We still have to consider his minutes. They're still under doctor's orders. We hope that those 24-25 minutes can go to 30, 35, maybe, during the playoffs."

I think that this will be very interesting match and if Cleveland win than they have to control tempo and play very good in defence because Cleveland is not very good offensive team. Washington won only 9 matches in this season when they scored under 100 points. Cleveland have to limit Wizards' offensive rebound.

I think that Cleveland will have problems in offence because Wizards know that they have to stop James. Both teams will play slow tempo because this game is very important and I expeckt a lot of turnovers and missed shots.
