WOW!

The Wizards avoided a monumental collapse and relied on a 15-foot buzzer beater from Gilbert Arenas to beat the Bulls 112-110 last night and take the series advantage 3-2. What an amazing game. It was disheartening and exciting all at once. The Wizards should have never been in that position, but it remained that they were. They may have collapsed toward the end of the game, but they demonstrated great poise in the last five seconds, as Arenas nailed that jumper to seal the win.

The Wizards will take Game 6 Friday and move on to face the Heat. In that series, all I'm asking for is at least one win. Two would be great, but I'm realistic. That said, a healthy Washington that actually plays defense will give the Heat more trouble than they're prepared for. Still, the Heat shouldn't have too many problems moving on to the Eastern Conference finals, where they will probably lose to the Pistons.
