Playoff tree has been officially released.

This is more exciting for me compare to the last year's playoffs. We can see new teams compete with some top tier teams. One thing more is no Lebron right now.

For me, its harder right now to predict who will go to the next round because all of them have unique skills. Maybe the Warriors will win in 5-6 games. Nuggets will dominate the Spurs in my opinion. On the other side, I think the Raptors will win against the Magic in 5-6 games and the Bucks will be having a hard time against the Pistons. Just my opinion Smiley
I agree, the first round of competition looks really solid and it's going to be difficult to predict who will win. Maybe we can see some upsets already in the first round, specially in the West.
West selections really hard to predict who's going to move forward to 2nd round, I like to see how Denver will protect their slot Knowing that they're still new to this and they will compete with the best coach the league still have, it will be an interesting match up between talents and perfect executions.

They are real friends, right? But, I'm just wondering where is Melo now, is it possible for him to play with the king in the next season?

So that is it for Dwade he ended his last game in brooklyn and I thought I saw lebron in the crowd watching the game. Wink
Him, Chris paul and Carmelo all were there to congratulates him after the game with a good photo op.
And his team mates celebrated with a dunk of the gatorade bucket on his head afterwards. Grin
Yeah it seems from the age groups of these players in the photo they must of played together in their ncaa days and grew up in the nba league but on opposing teams.
Last time I heard of carmelo was he was getting traded from the knicks but then he feel off the face of the earth.
If healthy I can see him getting traded over the summer to a team rebuilding just like porzingis got the deal with the mavericks even if he was injured and was just a bench warmer for the entire season since being traded from new york.

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki confirmed his retirement from the NBA on Tuesday, April 9, calling time on a 21-season career that saw him become the greatest European player ever to grace the league.

Another legend leaves the pitch and now it is time for young stars to shine. Thank you Dirk for the amazing moments you have offered us.

This is the sad news I heared today I like Dirk Nowitzki even theres a lot of younger player in the NBA today he is legend in nba history thank you for bringing a greate memories for all of us we will miss your play Sad Its time for younger player in Dallas Mavericks to shine good luck for the team and farewell Dirk.
That's not sad because Dirk is already in the retirement age, and his contribution to the team has decrease so they need to let him go.
He will be remembered as one of the best player in the NBA, not an american player but can compete in the NBA.
Being a champion once is already a big fulfillment.

That is true but you know he has offered a lot to Mavericks and in the NBA league.
Now players of his age have started retiring the one after the other and his turn came. I hope that Mavericks will find their new leader now that Dirk is retired and lead them to titles.

The time has finally come, we have been waiting for the playoffs, let's see what will it be without Lebron James.
Hopefully this would be a better playoff compared to the last one, I am also hoping that we will see a good NBA finals this time, going to 7 games is good.
I agree. This time, there's no LeBron in the playoffs. But, don't you think that this will make LeBron more aggressive next season? Although I'm considering how old he is next season but I think that he'll just be the aggressive Bron next year but sloppy on the defensive end.

Good match up for the Rockets vs Jazz, they face last playoffs and Jazz loss in the game.
This time both teams are healthy again, hopefully there will be no injury in the series so we can make this a long series.

I like Rockets but I cannot underestimate the Jazz, their defense are just so good especially in playoff time.
What's the series odds for this one? anyone....

I think so mate, and as far as what I've observed based on the statistic record of each player he's one of the best. Maybe Melo wasn't spotted with camera shots, but they really are friends. In basket gaining friends is one way of showing sportmanship because real attitude will be determined as you get more mature in playing career.

So this is what 1st round looks like:

It's really hard to decide which team will win on the first round since every team included has specialty and has a unique way to show off.

Will miss Dirk Nowitzki. Feel the emotions during his farewell speech at his last home game.  I was on high school when I began following this player. That was 2003 when Dallas Mavericks have their own trio (Nowitzki, Nash, Finley). Sadly, Mavericks didn't have a chance to sealed a playoffs spot for the last time. This was now there 3rd consecutive absence in the playoffs.

Dwayne Wade also given a tribute at his last home game.



But why should we have a GOAT debate in the first place? How important it is?
It's because NBA media does not have any topic lol. I agree on your opinion that all of us have different perspective on every player. That's why we're bias on somebody. Don't tell me you don't have any favorite player. And maybe, that player could be your vote on GOAT.

Dirk Nowitzki all the way but not considering him as a GOAT generally.



And guess what, this farewell moment of these 2 great players were being spoiled at the sudden news of Magic Johnson resigned as Los Angeles Lakers President of Basketball Operations.

He really stole the moment. He could do it the next day lol.

He is fulfilled as a player, he got a championship and he introduce their kind of basketball in the NBA.
Now, it's time for the young star and I have my favorite young stars that will be Dirk like in the future, they are Luka and big Porzi. 
I think both of them have different play style as Dirk though, and besides, Porzi has a outside issue (rape allegation) so he is no where as classy as Dirk is. I'm sure Dirk is just one of a kind player, he really brought something in the 2000's, a big guy who can dribble and shoot there and not that soft, specially coming from Europe.

A big man who can penetrate and shoot from the outside lane, he's presence was being felt by big man who tried to guard him, he can play with you dribbling the ball while shoot over you if you give him small space, he's good from what he have and be known without comparisons, he have a complete package won an MVP plus a championship ring, he will retired as franchise superstar.

Dirk was one of the few people in NBA history who everybody love in unison. I mean Jordan is still hated by many people, even Wilt is said "he played in easy era" and all that, Kobe was always hated, Lebron is hated by many. There is really not that many people everyone loves, I think Tim Duncan is one of those guys (another power forward Cheesy ) and Dirk is another.
You know why? He is one of the very few players who ever won a championship with a team that he didn't ask for. Dirk Nowitzki is just a cornerstone for the Mavericks and he just played basketball at his best, he never asked for Mark Cuban to recruit all stars to make him win his only ring. He tried to be the very best and maximize his contribution on the team he have. Unlike star players in our current generation which will try to do anything just to win a ring with no loyalty whatsoever. He never asked for a big paycheck to stay because he knows that Dallas is his only team, he even played his last two remaining seasons with the team on only a 10 million dollar contract (5 for each season) which is really not big considering how much players not even better than him are asking.

Dirk managed to build a great relation with the world not just on the court but off the court as well, anytime he spoke he spoke with love and kindness and passion so nobody ever hated him because even when he lost on 2006 he never really created any issues or said anything but just went back up on the horse and tried again and again and eventually won in 2011 (over Miami which was a sweet revenge). Dirk will be missed, he was a great basketball player but even a better human.
