Discussion: 2011 NBA Playoffs



The 2011 Playoffs are one of the most unpredictable Playoff Series Iโ€™ve witnessed since the Chicago Bulls were knocked out by the Orlando Magic.

Now that the Lakers are down 0-3 to the Mavericks, it looks as if their hopes for a 3-peat is over. No team has ever come back to win a series while down 0-3 in NBA history. I was actually surprised by last nightโ€™s outcome to game 3 and felt that Pau Gasol is proving himself to be the teamโ€™s weak link.

At the beginning of the Playoffs I had picked Chicago and Los Angeles as the two title contenders for this yearโ€ฆ which doesnโ€™t look to be the case any longer. Miami was a far cry from contending when the season started yet they now have dismantled every team theyโ€™ve gone up against. This year is literally a free for all and proves that once Playoff time comes, you can basically throw out your regular season accomplishments as things get turned up quite a few notches come the Post Season.

Do you think the Lakersโ€™ Championship run is over? What is your opinion on why theyโ€™ve crumbled to the Mavericks? If Chicago and Miami end up facing each other in the Eastern Conference Finals, can the Bulls get past Miamiโ€™s Big 3; and who is your pick to win it all this year?

In short; where will amazing happen this year?

  1. i hope for chicago, but it’ll proly b miami.

  2. the Heat can’t be stopped. No team can play with them in a 7 game series. I am so happy the Lakers are down 0-3. I hate that whole team.

  3. So glad the second three-peat is pretty much out of reach. 90’s Bulls still reign supreme!

    Can Kobe win the last 4 games? DOUBT IT.

  9. T Mac lost a 3-1 lead NOT 3-0 to the Pistons and on the Lakers point…

    I’m NOT a Lakers fan, BUT think about it and fans AND haters knows that this is true…

    Say the Lakers take Game 4 THAT means they go back to LA and I dont see LA givin up games in LA again. The ONLY game they gotta worry about is Game 6 at Dallas….and u ALL KNOW that Kobe isn’t going to let Game 7 slip IN LA!

    Not to mention Bynum and Odom’s disgraceful actions on the court. Two time champions acting like sore losers…I guess that’s their true colors.
