No respect for Gilbert?
Have to disagree... This is definitely the best of the first round... There have been 4 great close games which is way more than any other... 2 of the most evenly matched teams playing in the first round...
BTW, Wizards are easily the 3rd best team in the east when healthy...

evenly matched teams? absolutely.
good teams? no, cant say that.
as for the east, there is a big drop from detroit/boston/orlando imo.
raptors, cavaliers, and wizards are solidly in the second tier.
this is decent but not great playoff ball by any stretch.
frankly, the wizards would be in better shape if theyd just follow jamison, who actually is a leader.
