NBA Finals! Heat vs. Mavericks

Like I expected, the NBA Finals will be between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks.

I have a feeling that Miami will take the lead. However, I think the Finals will be switched by a STRONG lead that the Mavericks manage to take over. In my opinion, this can provide anticipation for the viewers and motivation for players.

The Eastern / Western Conference Finals. (Preview)

My expected teams that will face off in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals are Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. These two teams already showed great sportsmanship and games. However, there always is a loser.

I feel that Miami will dominate against the Chicago Bulls.

My expected teams that will face off in the NBa Western Conference Finals are the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder. These two teams are already highly valued. I feel that their games will be very enjoyable to watch. I'm looking forward to their enhancement in games.

I feel that Oklahoma will win.

Dallas vs. Lakers! Preview

Let's take a look at the surmised results for my Western Conference SemiFinals. I have a feeling that L.A. will go against the Dallas Mavericks on their road to the Finals. However, I think L.A.'s winning streak has finally come to an end. Their results with the New Orleans Hornets were already disappointing. Although Hornets are not as challenging as other teams, they still had trouble handling Chris Paul in the perimeter and David West owning the post. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant's highlights were nowhere to be found.
As a result, I strongly feel that Lakers will not make it to the Finals this year.

Also, I think this might be one of Kobe's last few years in the league. Because of his age, it is time for him to leave the spotlight to the younger teammates. His era is slowly dying out. Definitely, this season was not as great as any other seasons that he had. Although he is a champion, skilled player, and a outstanding athlete, his attributes that were signifying the team are now not as utilizing.

2011 Playoffs Begin!

The whole idea of Playoffs was dormant for quiet a bit. However, the upcoming Playoffs is about to implode at any second.

My expected teams to the finals are the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat. Although I want the Chicago Bulls to head to the Finals. I feel that Miami Heat will dominate against Chicago's defense with very quick offensive fastbreaks.

Their progress until now have been very successful. I feel that they will continue their winning streak until the Finals. The winner is still unexpected and unpredictable.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies

For Christ's Sake!

Spurs have been eliminated from the Playoffs. This is one of the worst playoff moments in the history of NBA. SPURS, who had one of the best records in their franchise history, has been eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies, 8th place, who is a very descent team who is honestly not as good as other top teams. Since that this is Memphis Grizzlies' first time playoff 2nd round appearance, they all feel very confident, but nervous at the same time.
The player of the game would be Zach Randolph. This player is one of the best forwards in the league. His lefty jump shots are very difficult to guard. Even when a hand is perfectly guarding his vision, his stroke completes the shot perfectly. His career was silent all along. However, his appearance in the playoffs this year was astonishing for everybody. Zach Randolph played a major role tonight. He was able to make jump shots at the last minute, which gave no hope to Spurs. 

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Dallas Mavericks Game 4

This is what I call "FUNTASTIC GAME". It is both entertaining and nerve-wrecking at the same time. One of my favorite point guards in the league, Brandon Roy, showed an outstanding performance tonight. His performance not only cheered up the crowd, it gave confidence to his teammates. Since that it is the playoffs, Dallas was leading round 1 by 3 wins. However, because of the extra tightness due to the playoffs, Portland Trail Blazers all showed amazing stats and teamwork to get the "W" over a very talented team.

The player of the game would be Brandon Roy. Although Trail Blazers were suffering a 23-point deficit, with Brandon Roy's points and assists, Portland was able to rapidly climb up to the score board. The killer-three delivered by Brandon Roy was outstanding. With less than one minute, Brandon Roy tied the game with a 4-point play. He was feeling very good in the outside range. As a result, he almost had 20 points as a bench point guard. This is an outstanding stat for a bench member who is heavily injured.

76ers vs. Heat! Game 3

This is getting exciting! Miami Heat, who is a team that is very close to the All-star team. Miami Heat has three of the best players in the world. The three all-star members are all very talented and their range of improvement is beyond the reach of a human-being.

First, Lebron James, an outstanding small forward who is capable of crushing his opponent with his speed and power. Nowadays, Lebron James is considered a player that has the potential to be the next Michael Jordan. Although their playing style is completely different, their talent levels are thought to be similar. In many critics' opinion, they still consider Lebron James as a amateur player due to his age. However, I consider Lebron James as one of the best forwards in NBA history. He certainly deserves to be treated with respect.

Second, Chris Bosh is one of the best centers in the league. His mid-range jump shots are "unguardable".  Even if an excellent defender is guarding him, Chris Bosh can simply use his signature move to pass by his opponent. Afterwards, he would finish at the rim with authority. Chris Bosh was originally in the Toronto Raptors. However, he was traded this year to the Miami Heat with Lebron James, which caused a sensation to all NBA fans and normal ones.
Third, the original member of the Miami Heat, Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat is one of the best shooters and drive-in players in the history of the league. Dwayne Wade's favorite move is the pump-fake - draw the foul - And 1. This pattern is consistently working for all NBA opponents. While most players fall into this trap, there are some who are patient and clever enough to avoid giving the foul. 

One of the players who can do that is Andre Iguodala. Not only Dwayne Wade, Andre Iguodala is a very skilled player who is capable of avoiding all contacts between defensive plays. While Andre Iguodala is well known for his presence in the Dunk Contest, he is also very well known for his three-pointers' skills. His skills are well-known throughout all NBA players. 

As the domination of skill from Miami is apparent, this game was a easy win for the Miami Heat. In such circumstances, Miami has the ability to adapt to away courts very quickly and play well even in harsh circumstances as away crowds. 
As a result, game 3 of Philadelphia and Miami ended with Miami's defeat.
