    2011 NBA Playoffs

    Who do you think will be the final 2 teams?

    IMO following look the strongest:

    Miami
    Boston
    LA (if Kobe isn't hurt, we'll see)
    Chicago

    With LA, San Antonio & Dallas having their hands full with NOLA, Memphis & Portland respectively (those three series likely all going to at least Game 6s), might it be OKC's year to make it out of the West?

    Talking about in trouble, Orlando looks like their one foot is already out the door of the first round.

    I'll stick with the matchup of LA-Miami for this year.
    (Wonder if the NBA will ever get their dream LA Lakers-Knicks finals in the near future?)

      Yah I honestly could tell by game 3 that Orlando were not contenders (probably should have put money on it, but I don't gamble, lol). They just don't have the same competitive drive they seemed to have had in 2009..I knew they weren't going to win last night before the game started, they just don't seem to want it bad enough. Pity too because they are the 5th highest paid team in the world right now .

        It's been Dwight Howard and a bunch of unmotivated teammates (well maybe save for Jameer Nelson). Dwight Howard is probably thinking of punching his ticket out of Disney World now. And wow! 5th highest paid team in the world... big part of that has to do with Arenas' mega-bloated contract.

        As for Atlanta, young and hungry pretty much sums it up for them.

              I predict the Magic lose tonite as well...although they could win since it's at home and it would mean the end of their season...I don't think Miami will beat Boston personally. They say Miami has a younger team than Boston, but I don't think this year is Miami's year to beat Boston.

                Looks like they brought their A game tonight, up by 30 typical of the magic though to kick ass when it means the season.

                  Oh snap! 2.2 seconds left San Antonio down by one with the overturn call on Ginobilli miracle "3-point" shot.

                      Would be amazing to see the Bulls win another championship. Although, Boston and Kobe are made for the playoffs and always seem to find form at the right time.

                          The Miami/Boston games I hope will deliver some excitement this year.

                            ^no doubt this game is very exciting, as I type this there was a headbutt with Paul Pierce

                              ^ this. it's gonna be quality.

                              would like the heat to win - predicated soley on the fact that there's so much hate directed at such an unholy alliance; but lo, i would love to see the celts fuck shit up, too, cos' they got robbed last time by officiating (mind you, i'm a huge lakers fan), and a lot of them are true school ballas that will most likely retire at then end of this season.
