NBA playoffs 2011

As may of you know I want to be an English teacher, but if that fails my backup has always been to be a sports broadcaster and here is my practice for that!

It's that time of the year again! It's the NBA playoffs, It is such a rush, I am so excited to see the outcome of this season! Who would have thought that the Chicago Bulls would be the overall number 1 team, going into the season I bet a lot of people though LeBron and Bosh going to Miami would almost guarantee them a number 1 spot or Kobe would lead the Lakers to another number 1 spot or even Rondo, Pierce, Allen and Garnett would lead my Celtics to the number 1 seed, but none of them have a number 1 seed. That is what I love about the NBA, you never know what's gonna happen Derrick Rose is a stud and I feel deserves where he is right now! There will be some good match ups in the playoffs this year Spurs vs Grizzlies, I would have to pick the spurs, Thunder vs Nuggets, it's amazing to me how well the nuggets did after trading Melo but I still think that Kevin Durant will lead the Thunder to the win! I think the Mavericks will destroy the Blazers! And as much as I would love to see the Hornets destroy the Lakers I don't think that will be the outcome, The Lakers are just too good! Derrick Rose will lead the Bulls past an easy first round win over the Pacers! The Magic and Hawks should be an Interesting match up they are both really good teams but My guess is Orlando comes out on top in this one! Heat vs 76ers I am excited for this as many know LeBron is one of my favorite players and him making the jump to Miami I feel was his best Career move so far, I think the Heat will win this one pretty easily! CELTICS vs Knicks what an insane first round match up, i would love to say that my Celtics are gonna tear the Knicks apart but I know that is not true, this series will probably go 7 games and be intense all the way through but the Celtics are who I choose to come out on top!

In the second round i think it will be Spurs vs Thunder, and i believe this is where the first top seed falls, the Thunder I believe are just too good to be stopped so early. Lakers vs Mavericks again i hate to say it but the Lakers are too good especially when it comes to the playoffs so I think they may easily take this series! Bulls vs Magic I think it will be interesting but I think Derrick Rose will still have enough gas in him to lead the Bulls to the conference finals. Celtics vs Heat a match up I love but as the season has proved except in their last meeting the Celtics have dominated the Heat, so sorry LeBron you are the man but I think my C's move on!

Lakers vs. Thunder, Thunder are amazing but I think they hit their brick wall when they play the Lakers and send the Lakers back to the NBA finals for a fourth consecutive trying to win their third straight! Celtics vs Bulls, by this point Derrick Rose will have run out of gas and the rest of the Bulls just aren't good enough to stand up to Celtics, so my pick is the Celtics returning to the NBA finals for the third time in 4 years.

Celtics vs Lakers a rivalry as old as time, a rematch of last years championship! As much as I despise the Lakers, I love when these two teams play each other, especially in the finals, there is so much tension, the games are always intense no matter what the score is, My pick is the Celtics in Seven! Maybe I am being a little one sided because I am a Celtics fan but I have faith in my team especially in Rajon Rondo who I pick to be MVP, He is a beast!

I've got to admit that this NBA post season will not be the same without my best friend Aaron here to watch the games with, it will feel lonely and weird but it's all good, he's serving the lord and there is nothing better than doing that!
