(Below is a Mini Movie of the 2012 Playoffs Made by Me of the highlights of the 2012 Playoffs.)
As the Playoffs Began there were 8 teams from each conference, making 16 teams in total. The most anticipated first round playoff games were the New York Knicks Vs. Miami Heat on the East and the Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. The Dallas Mavericks which Dallas had beaten Oklahoma out of the playoffs a year ago. The Series ended up with the Knicks losing in 5 games, only winning one in a best of 7 series. The Oklahoma City Thunder However went up against the Mavericks and swept them, Giving them no chance at winning. The Knicks also had many injuries including the left hand to Amare' Stoudemire as he chose to punch through a Fire extinguisher out of anger after the loss to Miami in the Second Playoff game, boy did New York Hate him for that. (Below is a picture of Amare' after the Injury and Carmelo Fighting for a Win in New York During the playoffs.)
Many Surprises were in the playoffs including the Lakers getting Knocked out of it in the 2nd round 2 years in a row. (Below is a picture of Kevin Durant as he was dominating the Lakers)
The Playoffs were very important for teams to win a championship. In the second round it was the Oklahoma Thunder Vs. The Los Angeles Lakers, and boy was that rivalry after The Los Angeles Lakers Knocked them out of the playoffs in 2010. Back for revenge the Oklahoma City Thunder Did not back down as they won and advanced to the Conference Finals. However The East were many injuries and most teams were banged up without a star Player, Very Disappointing. How ever The Boston Celtics and The Miami Heat advanced to the Conference Finals which Seems to be interesting as everyone Favors for Miami for the star power of Lebron James and Dwayne Wade, Boston isn't backing down as they lead the series 3-2 only needing one more Win to Advance to the NBA Finals. (Below is a picture as things get heated between the Miami and Boston Rivalry) In The West Conference finals, it was no joke. Oklahoma City The Youngest Team in the NBA Advancing to the Finals and they can tell you it wasn't easy and they had to adjust very much. Facing The San Antonio Spurs who coming in to this series won 18 games in a row it was no different they beat the Thunder Twice and made it 20 games straight, The Thunder knew if they wanted to win they had to adjust. After they lost two in row and after San Antonio won 20 in a row, they committed to put there most hardest effort in. Oklahoma City then Beat San Antonio 4 games in a row winning the series and advancing to the Finals. As Shaquille O'neal the retired Hall of Fame, Analyst says "Good Things Come to a End".
As Russell Westbrook the starting guard of the Oklahoma City Thunder says "Why Not", "Everybody said were too young inexperienced Why would they win the Championship,?" and he simply said "Why Not?".
So now its down to one series, The Celtics and The Miami Heat, Who will win? If the Heat Win this game tonight 06/07/2012 then they play one more Game 7 06/09/2012 to see who makes the trip to the finals. If they lose then The Boston Celtics will win the Conference Finals and head to the Finals to VS. The Oklahoma City Thunder Arguably the best team in the league. Below is a picture showing Oklahoma City Thunder Holding the Conference Title trophy as they wait for there opponent and who will it be, Miami or Boston.
