2011 NBA Finals: Chicago Bulls v.s. San Antonio Spurs

Game 1: Bulls win 124-84
A 40 point blowout for the Spurs, including a 32 point, 5 rebound, 10 assist performance from Derrick Rose and a 20 point, 6 rebound, 11 assist.

Game 2: Bulls win 127-107
Another needed win for Chicago, as Tony Parker suffers an injury which will keep him out for the rest of the season

Game 3: Bulls win 98-96
This game is very close as with about 12 seconds left Manu misses a 3 (the Bulls are up 98-94). The Spurs get a rebound but George Hill is fouled by Joakim Noah. Hill makes both free throws for his 6th and 7th points, but with under 3 seconds to go, the Bulls can run down the clock. LeBron misses a mid-range shot and Noah gets the rebound. Unfortunatley for the Spurs, that was the end of the game. Meaning the Bulls were up 3-0 and could sweep in the Finals for the first time since LeBron and the 07' Cavs got swept by you guessed it: the Spurs

Game 4: Spurs win 108-107
This game was even closer than the last one. With less than 6 seconds, Rose makes a 3 putting up the Bulls 107-105. The Spurs get the ball Duncan has it, passes it to Randolph, to Ginobili, on the side. 3 SECONDS. 2 SECONDS. Manu shoots! 1 SECOND. And..... IT'S GOOD. SAN ANTONIO SAVES THE SERIES. In what will become be one of the biggest clutch shots in Spurs history. And so we go to Game 5

Game 5: Spurs win 125-95
Another very needed win for San Antonio, this time they destroy Chicago at home behind a 38 point, 5 rebound, 4 assist, 3 steal performance from Manu. The Bulls still lead 3-2, but the Spurs have a chance to win at home and go to a game 7.

Game 6: Spurs win 110-105
Another very clutch game as Tim Duncan has a 35 point, 14 rebound, 4 assist, 4 steal, 2 block performance, his best game yet. That means we are going to a Game 7 And the 10-11 Spurs will become only the 2nd team to come back from a 0-3 in the Finals (the 1951 New York Knicks did it but lost to the Rochester Royals in 7)

Game 7:
Bulls win 116-107
Despite a 31 points from Manu and a 20 point, 19 rebound performance from Tim, it is the Chicago Bulls who win the 2011 NBA Finals, and add a 7th Championship Banner to the United Center, also cementing LeBron's decision a sucsess for Chicago, compared to the 28-54 Cleveland Cavaliers

2011 NBA Champions: Chicago Bulls (7th Title)
Finals MVP: Derrick Rose

2011 NBA Draft
Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey

Welcome to the 2011 NBA Draft! With such amazing prospects such as Kawhi Leonard, Enes Kanter, Klay Thompson, and Kyrie Irving. Let's not waste any time and go to the commissioner, David Stern, with the first pick.

With the first pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons select Klay Thompson from Washington State

A stunning pick in my opinion

With the second pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the New Jersey Nets select Evan Levins from Kansas

Trust me, he is a prospect from this draft

With the third pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the New Jersey Nets select Jimmy Butler from Marquette

Jimmy Butler, a prospect who was ranked to go either 8th to the Heat, or 10th to the Jazz. Another stunning pick

With the fourth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select Kemba Walker from Connecticut

Kemba Walker, a late surprise, was projected to go either to the Pistons or Nets 1st or 2nd. Surprising he went this late

With the fifth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Toronto raptors select Tobias Harris from Tennessee

Tobias Harris a HUGE surprise, not projected to go until around the beginning of the second round, goes 5th overall

With the sixth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76'ers select James Taylor from Baylor

James Taylor who was projected to go before this, goes 6th overall

With the seventh pick in the 2011 NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers select Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard, the top prospect of this draft, will be heading to Cleveland

With the eighth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Miami Heat select Kyrie Irving from Duke

So Kyrie Irving the 2nd best prospect will go to Miami, a team who had a disappointing season after the departure of Dwayne Wade

We have a trade to announce: The Phoenix Suns will get the ninth pick, in exchange for Steve Nash

The Phoenix Suns might have just screwed up big, but Steve Nash is in his 15th season this year, so he is not as good, but still bad for Phoenix, but now they have the 9th and 12th picks

With the ninth pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns select Loren Longley from Connecticut

The Suns did talk about taking him with the 12th pick, but they have him now

With the 10th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select Ivan Popovic from Croatia

Ivan Popovic giving it another try, after going undrafted in 2009

Would Cleveland's economy still be based on LeBron James?

Well since he left Cleveland, the fans still hate him, but in OTL LeBron looses in the Finals, which makes Cavs fans happy, but in this scenario LeBron wins a championship with the Bulls in his first year and on top of that, they trade away Zydrunas Ilgauskas to the Warriors, so Cleveland basketball is basically dead in the water, and the sports economy is now baseball (Indians).

It must be nice to come from a city with real sports teams vs millionaires in uniforms...
But I come from Michigan... :(
the Pistons are a Joke,
The Red Wings are back to being the Dead Wings.
the Tigers have not won a World Series in about 36 years.
And do I need to say anything more then... “The Detroit Lions”?

Check out my new Scenario:

What if the NBA Reset back to the 1997-98 Season?

What If? What if Jordan didn't win a 6th Ring? What if Kobe left the Lakers? What if KD went to Portland? What if Derrick Rose never tore his ACL? What if Melo went to Detroit? What if CP3 went to the Lakers? What if the Timberwolves drafted Curry? What if Tim Duncan signed in Orlando? What if...

Actually, this may not be realistic... in OTL, Butler slipped to the 30th pick overall. In fact, that year, Nicola Mirotic was seen as the bigger "get" even though he wouldn't be in the league for a while.

The Bulls could easily land Butler in the draft - and also still get Mirotic for the future...

Imagine them putting D-Rose, Wade, Butler, and LeBron... would it matter who played center?
