Upsets in the NBA

The playoffs in the NBA have been very shocking. The 8th seeded memphis grizzles come out of no where without their star player Rudy Gay and take out the first seeded Sanintonio Spurs which had the second best record in the NBA and take them out in game 6. Memphis took the Spurs out with no problem it seemed and took the young run and gun team of the Oaklahoma City Thunder to game 7. What a playoff run for a 8th seeded team that was said to lose in the first round in 4 games.What about the 2 time defending world champions the Los Angeles Lakers getting swept 4 games to 0 to the dallas mavricks a series that was said to be the best of them all. And the Chicago bulls becoming the 1st seed in all of the NBA and take out game 1 over miami. This interests me because the playoffs in the NBA most of the times were one sided. It was either the Lakers were going to win or the Celtics going to win but with both teams out it now rises a new question who will be the new NBA champion? Many predict that the Miami Heat because of its offense and defense. But miami is down a game to chicago. But people are to consentrated on the eastern side of the NBA how about the verterns in Dallas Jason Kidd and Dirk Noviski. Good players indeed but going up against a team that can out run them dallas' championship hope may be at risk when playing the Thunder. My personally prediction is the Chicago Bulls. It would be nice to see them on top after 13 years. But what is forsure there will be a new NBA Champion this year.
