Winners of the their last 6 games, the Miami Heat appear to be unstoppable. With the power of Shaq inside and the all around, sensational performances Dewayne Wayne it's hard to disagree. The Wizard find themselves trailing two games to none again. Heading into Washington, they will need to capitalize on the energy of the home crowd. Larry Hughes and Gilbert Arenas will have to limit their outside shooting and concentrate more on driving to the basket. They will have to penetrate Miami's strong interior defense and draw fouls. With players like Haslem and Mourning active on the boards, Washington will be well aware of their positioning and be able to box out better. If Wade gets into a streaky groove and even starts creating shots for teammates the Wizards will falter and not be able to catch up. Coming up with a solution to stop Shaq from scoring easily inside will be crucial in attempts to force Miami to hit long range shots. This will put the pressure on the guards like Eddie Jones and Keyon Dooling. Hopefully the Wiz can avoid the sweep and put a challenge and make the series more interesting.
