The 2011 Western NBA playoff has the biggest surprise until now: the fall of the San Antonio Spurs with 2-4 against Memphies Grizzlies. The younger players from Memphis basketball team beat the Tim Duncan’s old champions and Spurs were going down.
Another match where bettors cannot win even they had free bets was Los Angeles Lakers against Dallas Mavericks. Very few of us were thinking that Lakers will not win at all against Dallas. 4-0 is not quite the score that Phil Jackson coach and Koby Briant teammates were thinking of. The duo between Bryant and Gasol could be vanished in the next NBA season. I would take a free bet on it!

Right now Mavericks plays against Oklahoma City. Although those basketball players from Oklahoma are younger I can wager any big free bet on Dallas that they reach the playoff finals. Last year Novitzki managed himself and he did not play for his country Germany, and he can rest in the summer. His body are in good shape. He will lead his team to a victory. That is my opinion.

The Eastern Playoff conference had no big surprise as Western had. Any basketball lovers would like to see LeBron James in the final. One more step and there he is, if they beat Bulls. I have the strong feeling that Miami Heat has only 3 players: D.Wade, C.Bosh and L.James. Only with 3 real players you could not win the championship. Maybe they will be in the finals, but I do not see Miami Heat on the podium this year. In my opinion, LeBron James did not choose the right team in July 2010. Maybe NY Knicks were the better option for him, and do not forget the fact that he could won 2 billions US$ in his lifetime in New York. I know that he really need the ring on his finger, not the money, but right now the Heat is an average team with him. Without him the Heat is nothing in the NBA.

The Chicago Bulls may be the relevance of the Eastern and at least in the first game the felt like no-one could be compete against them. Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozers and Joackim Noah smash the LeBron & Co. with 103-82. It is quite a big shame for the Heat.

If I would take a free bet I choose that LeBron James will not gain the ring this year.
