I say it's the Dallas Mavericks who lost to the Golden State Warrior 4-2 on the ongoing NBA playoffs. Dallas has the best records and they have the MVP of the league in Dirk Nowitzki. So it is expected for them to go to the championship. While Miami had injury problem and was not able to blend in time of the playoff. Also they are playing the baby Chicago bull which have been testing them the previous playoff. The bulls have what it take to go all the way to the championship while the Golden State will have his hand full in the nect round. Do you think otherwise or agree? Come on NBA fans let hears what you think?

its the dallas maveicks loss to the golden state warriors and i think its the most humiliating series loss in the nba history. the mavericks came to the playoffs with everybody having so high expectations about them. they ended the season with the best record of 67-15 and was taunted to win the nba title. but they stumbled across the fiery warriors, the only team they cant seem to beat. what made it worse for the mavericks is that being the nba's top seed, they never had total control in even a single game against the warriors in the series. if not for baron davis and stephen jackson's game 2 ejection, the warriors should've swept the series. dirk nowitzki too was stopped. being the top mvp candidate, dirk showed no signs of being a leader in the series against the warriors.
the heat on the other hand was not really expected to win. dwyane wade is not 100% while shaq, zo, payton and eddie jones are all way beyond their prime plus james posey and antione walker has been very inconsistent. chicago is no pushover. they have ben wallace and explosive players ben gordon and luol deng. chicago clearly had the advantage over the series. but i wasn't expecting though that chicago will sweep miami in the first round

Very good analysis Makoy. Who do you think will be in the NBA finals? Chicago vs Phoenix.

it still so hard to tell. phoenix and san antonio is still going to play it up. but it might be safe to say that who ever ends up as the winner in the phoenix and san antonio match will end up being the champion. chicago on he other hand still doesnt have all the tools to become the champion. they're young and talented but they still dont have the playoffs and championship experience. chicago might lose to detroit in the second round in 6 games

Yeah, I checked the analysis on the internet. And they picked Detroit and San Antonio to be the winners. Let see my friends. First game is today.

I would have to say the Miami Heat had the most embarrassing playoff loss as they went from World Champs to getting swept in the first round of the playoffs. They lost to a team that has not been very good since Jordan and Pippen left the team. Dallas did get embarrassed as well after winning so many games during the regular season but since they were not defending champs, I think Miami had it worse.

I think Dallas Mavericks loss to the eighth seeded Golden State Warriors is the most humiliating. They were the best team in the league during the regular season and lost to a team that barely made the playoffs, not good. The Heat are getting old and need some young blood on there to remain contenders. The Bulls are looking good and i think the Warriors are going to lose next round.
