Just when you thought all the excitement about basketball was over because March madness had come to an end just a few weeks ago the fever continues. Now we take it to the next level to the NBA. For all the basketball lovers, there is still some excitement for you. As we hit the middle of April, the NBA playoffs start. We are able to see what teams made it through the regular season with enough wins to extend their season and fight for a championship. You have eight teams from the Western conference and eight teams from Eastern conference fighting for that number one spot.
As the Los Angeles Lakers enter the playoffs and defend their title can they go for another 3-peat? Will Kobe Bryant catch up with Michael Jordan and get his sixth championship ring? Can the other veteran teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, or the Orlando Magic be able to win the championship? Can this be one of the years one of the young teams shocks everyone and wins the championship? Like the Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trailblazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, Chicgo Bulls, Philadelphia 76ixers, New York Knicks, or the Atlanta Hawks.
But I know a lot of people out there will like to see the Miami Heat bring the championship to South Beach. The Miami Heat made the biggest trades over the off season when they got Lebron James and Chris Bosh to help out Dwyane Wade. They became the new big three. Everyone said that would be the team to beat in the playoffs. So do they have what it takes to be a champion? As the first round of the playoffs kick off, we will find out.
