Call it March Madness in May. The 2011 NBA post season wasn’t so predictable, and looked like the same old script was tossed out the window. GOOD! It was fun to see the Lakers, Celtics, Magic, and Spurs get bounced and see new faces like Oklahoma City and Memphis go deep. Seeing Mark Cuban’s bunch from the Big “D” get the trophy was fun — even in the face of the high-dollar boys from South Beach, it was the team of veterans that finally broke through after coming close in the past.
Now it’s time to do it again and the story lines are everywhere. Can Kobe shake off a late season injury and lead a Lakers team that has so many sub-plots? It could be a new reality show on BRAVO … Oops,Sorry Lamar, did I say reality show on BRAVO? The Knicks are in and there’s nothing like the sound of a Madison Square Garden cheer when the Knicks are winning. Pick you story here, Carmelo, Amare, Lynnsanity and Coach Woody. How they managed to get here is remarkable indeed and it should earn Coach Woody the full time gig in the Big Apple.
The Bulls are ready to run, with or without Derrick Rose. This team just goes out and gets it done and the road to the title in the East will go through the Windy City, no doubt.
