Most Exciting Individual Matchups in the First Round?

                            5. Chris Bosh Vs Dwight Howard

The junior version of Olajuwon vs young Shaq? OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, especially the Olajuwon part, but for these two, greatness is not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Howard dominates Toronto's soft front line routinely with close range hooks, monster slams and putbacks, and is capable of outrebounding any frontline in the league on his own. While Bosh is among the best players in recent memory to blow by his defender with fakes and jab steps to get to the basket, not to mention the free throw line, and his mid-range jumper is nearly flawless, with range out to 20 feet, he's a matchup nightmare for any big man in the league.

Verdict: Tie, Orlando's superior supporting cast will take them over the top and into the second round, not to mention these two likely won't be guarding each other. Rasho Nesterovic may draw the unenviable task of containing Howard, while the task of defending Bosh may fall on the hands of Orlando's $120 Million Dollar Man Rashard Lewis.

Chuck: The Wizards are the Dumbest Team In the History of Civilization

"" In a (not at all) surprising development, Charles Barkley said something that people might find to be a little controversial, especially in the District. The all-about-fun Washington Wizards have recently stirred the pot by lobbing some smack talk in the direction of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who just happen to be their first round playoff opponents. Barkley didn't feel that riling up one of the league's best players was a smart move, and said so during his weekly TNT conference call.

    "I think the Washington Wizards have got to be the dumbest team in the history of civilization."

    "I think for them to rile up LeBron, who's the second-best player we've got in the NBA . . . I think that's just stupid," Barkley said. "I thought [the Wizards] had a chance to win that series. I don't think that any more."  ""

Damn Chuck......that's why people tune into TNT's halftime show! That moron Stephen A. Smith needs to watch this guy more often.

Hey, that guy's opinion didn't stop the likes of Lil' Wayne and Lupe Fiasco from wearing their product. Here's the newest shipment of their terrific Dicoco model that just arrived at Karmaloop
