There will be playoff basketball in Tennessee this season, as the Memphis Grizzlies are returning to the post-season for the first time in over five years. The last time the Grizz made the playoffs they were lead by a certain Spanish center named Pau Gasol. This Grizzlies roster in anchored by the other Gasol, Marc, as well by speedy and athletic players like Mike Conley Jr, O.J. Mayo, and Zach Randolph. Facing the Spurs in the opening round, will youth be served, or will the veterans march on as a legitimate title contender?

Key Players: Zach Randolph, OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley

Head Coach: Lionel Hollins

How They Fared in 2010: Did not qualify for post-season

Memphis Grizzlies Playoffs Prediction For 2011: The Memphis Grizzlies were dealt a blow recently with the loss of their leading scorer, Rudy Gay, to injury. The Grizzlies must now lean heavily on Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, as well as their back-court in O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley Jr. Memphis is actually probably happy they ended up with the 8th seed, giving them a chance to play the San Antonio Spurs over the L.A. Lakers. They match up decently versus the Spurs, though it will take almost a miracle for them to pull the upset. Spurs in 5 – off-season time once again in Tennessee.

Doug Collins has the Philadelphia 76ers back in the NBA Playoffs for the first time in two years. A franchise known for eclectic superstars like Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, and Julius Erving, the Sixers are usually front-page material. This current Philly roster, however, is really a bunch of unassuming, non-spotlight type players. Can Coach Collins and his scrappy group shock the world and defeat the evil empire in South Beach in the Eastern Quarter Finals?

Home Games Played At: Wells Fargo Center

Key Players: Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala, Jrue Holiday

Head Coach: Doug Collins

How They Fared in 2010: Did not qualify for post-season

Philadelphia 76ers Playoffs Prediction For 2011: The acquisition of Elton Brand is finally beginning to pay dividends for the Philadelphia 76ers. The acquisition of Doug Collins has definitely helped. Here stand the Sixers, the Eastern Conference’s number seven seed, facing the daunting task of matching up against LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and the Miami Heat in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs. Philly’s return to the post-season is a great thing for the NBA, but, unfortunately, there is no way it will be a lasting one. There’s not too much to say here, other than the Sixers will get bounced from the 2011 postseason possibly faster than any other playoff team.

With a home court called the Rose Garden, one would assume the Portland Trail Blazers are an unimposing group. That person would be wrong. The current roster of Blazers are entering the 2011 NBA Playoffs with a ton of confidence, and pose matchup problems to most opponents at most positions. Young, hungry, athletic, and long, Portland is a very trendy pick amongst NBA analysts to pull at least one upset in the playoffs. Can they accomplish that feat?

Home Games Played At: Rose Garden

Key Players: LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Andre Miller, Gerald Wallace

Head Coach: Nate McMillan

How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Phoenix Suns in 6 games in the Western Conference Quarter Finals

Portland Trail Blazers Playoffs Prediction For 2011: The Portland Trailblazers franchise never quite recovered from the 2001 Western Conference Finals, a series where they choked away a 15 point lead with one quarter until they reached the championship round. Had that Scottie Pippen, Steve Smith, Damon Stoudamire team defeated the Lakers, we may have been talking about the Portland dynasty of the early 2000s, not the one in LaLa land. Having shed their “Trail Gangsters” persona, the Blazers have been an up-and-coming group for a few years now. Its kind of weird, because, every post-season, they are typecast as that fearful first round opponent, yet, they never actually win a series. The rumblings are the same again this year, and the noise has been at that level all season, that Portland will cause matchup problems and defeat one of the elite teams in the Western Conference. The addition of Gerald Wallace, to go along with Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge’s career best year, has that noise at a fever pitch.  They have drawn Dallas in the first round, and yeah, while they could win the series, we just don’t see it happening. Once again this over-hyped group of Trail Blazers will blaze a trail right out of the 2011 Western Conference QuarterFinals.

Surprise, surprise, the Denver Nuggets are steamrolling into the 2011 NBA Playoffs sans Carmelo Anthony. Who would’ve thunk it??? The Western Conference’s number five seed – the re-invented Nuggets are one of the hottest teams in the league after a franchise redefining trade. Do the new kids in the Mile High City have what it takes to make a deep post-season run? Keep reading to find out…

Home Games Played At: Pepsi Center

Key Players: Danilo Gallinari, Ty Lawson, Kenyon Martin, Raymond Felton

Head Coach: George Karl

How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Utah Jazz in 6 games in the Western Conference Quarter Finals

Denver Nuggets Playoffs Prediction For 2011: Anyone who says they predicted the Nuggets would have any chance at post-season success post the Melo trade is just lying. Having held up the Denver front office all season, many believed Carmelo Anthony had damaged a once-proud franchise, and, even worse, ruined any chance they had at winning when he was finally dealt. Well, those concerns have now dissipated, with the infusion of young talent in the form of Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and Raymond Felton, with current rostered players like Nene, Ty Lawson, and Kenyon Martin. The Nuggets are now deeper, and younger than ever, and, under the guidance of George Karl, are official a “team nobody wants to face.” Unlucky for both Denver and Oklahoma City, two such teams will meet in the opening round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs. We are big admirers of OKC, so unfortunately for fans in Denver, this will not be the year the Nuggets celebrate their first NBA title.

We continue our 2011 NBA Playoffs preview with the Orlando Magic, probably the least celebrated of the league’s top teams over the past few years. When thinking of the most successful playoff teams since 2007, names like the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and Cleveland Cavaliers come to mind. Its odd that so many sleep on Orlando, a team that has represented the East in the NBA Finals, Conference Finals, and Conference Semi-Finals in the last three playoff tournaments. Will the Magic hit for the cycle with an NBA Championship in 2011?

Home Games Played At: Amway Center

Key Players: Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, Gilbert Arenas

Head Coach: Stan Van Gundy

How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Boston Celtics in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals

Orlando Magic Playoffs Prediction For 2011: Its rare that a team as successful as the Orlando Magic would undergo such a dramatic facelift. Gone from last year’s squad are Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, and Marcin Gortat, replaced with Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, and Hedu Turkoglu. The consistents for Orlando are still there, dominant in the middle with Dwight Howard, and lighting quick at the point with Jameer Nelson. Quirky head coach Stan Van Gundy still holds the reigns on this squad, built for the inside outside game and ownership of the three point line. There is a reason Orlando is successful and not championship caliber, and that is the inherent inconsistency of their offensive style and reliance on D-Howard on Defense. None of that has changed this year, so expect the Magic to knock down enough treys and feed Howard with enough easy baskets for a first round victory, then lose to the Chicago Bulls in the 2nd round.

Country rock worlds are colliding as Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow have announced a joint venture. A continuation of the Kid Rock Born Free Tour, the summer 2011 leg will feature Sheryl Crow as the opening act.

This newly released portion of the Born Free 2011 Tour includes almost 30 Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow concerts, and serves as a live extension of the duo’s latest collaboration, Collide. Kid Rock’s current jaunt has been one of the most successful tours of 2011 thus far, so, with Crow now on-board, the new shows will surely sell out in most major markets.

The 2011 Kid Rock Sheryl Crow tour schedule kicks off in Cincinnati, Ohio at The Riverbend on 7/2, and concludes in Houston, Texas at Woodlands Pavilion on 9/3. Additional 2011 Born Free Kid Rock Sheryl Crow tour dates include concerts in Boston, Massachusetts at Comcast Center on 7/9, Holmdel, New Jersey at PNC Bank Arts Center on 7/12, Buffalo, New York at Darien Lake on 7/13, San Jose, California at Shoreline on 7/29, Chicago, Illinois at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre on 7/19, Los Angeles, California at Irvine Meadows/Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on 7/30, Chula Vista, California at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre on 8/2, Virginia Beach, Virginia at Jiffy Lube live on 8/22, and Dallas, Texas at Gexa Energy Pavilion on 9/2.

The setlist for all 2011 Kid Rock Sheryl Crow concerts can be viewed here. With the inclusion of Sheryl Crow to his Born Free tour, it is unknown at this time if Jamey Johnson will continue to service as the supporting act for Kid Rock.

SaveFans.com is the only website that allows fans to negotiate prices for Kid Rock Sheryl Crow concert tickets in a secure environment, even if the show is sold out.

Lets be honest, the Phoenix Coyotes were left for dead by just about every hockey expert at the start of the 2010-11 NHL season. Well, head coach Dave Tippett has managed to spark a fire in this team, and here they are, 82 games later, in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite never reaching the NHL Finals, Captain Shane Doan vows this team has it in them to make a run. Veteran Ray Whitney seems to have found his fountain of youth, and X-factor goalie Ilya Bryzgalov is at times the very best in the league. Is this enough to send this team all the way to the promised land this season?

Phoenix Coyotes Playoff Prediction For 2011: Teams like the Coyotes are hard to gauge when it comes to predicting the Stanley Cup Playoffs. On the one hand, you don’t even know how they are in the playoffs to begin with – then on the other hand, you are kind of cheering for them to play spoiler. The ‘Yotes can win a playoff series. Stranger things have happened. If Bryzgalov can get hot anything is possible. We just wouldn’t bank on it. In reality, the Phoenix Coyotes should be playing golf after the 1st round.

The Buffalo Sabres are consistent. With this team you  know what you are getting. Young, fast-paced hockey, gritty defense, and lights-out goaltending. The Sabres are ready again to take a crack at Lord Stanley’s Cup, and according to Derek Roy, win it. Pretty bold statement. The Sabres have never won the Stanley Cup – in 41 years as an NHL franchise, not one cup. They came a Bret Hull-kicked-in-the-crease-goal away from doing it in what seems like a lifetime ago already. Could this be the year the Sabres finally reach the top of the hockey world?

Home Games Played At: HSBC Arena

Key Players: Thomas Vanek, Jason Pominville, Drew Stafford, Ryan Miller

Head Coach: Lindy Ruff

How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Boston Bruins in 6 games in the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals

Buffalo Sabres Playoff Prediction For 2011: Anyone who watches NHL Stanley Cup Playoff hockey knows one thing: a hot goalie can mean everything. When Ryan Miller is your goaltender, you are always in a position to win hockey games, especially in the playoffs. If Thomas Vanek can keep playing like he has of late, and players like Jason Pominville can wake up, we can see the Sabres being a tough matchup for anyone in the East this playoff season. If things break perfectly, we see them having a chance to beat the Flyers and getting as far as the second round this year. Anything beyond that would be reason to celebrate in Buffalo.

We keep forgetting Nashville, Tennessee is a hotbed for hockey, until, come the playoffs every year, there stand those pesky Nashville Predators. Once again the Preds are one of the hardest working group of overachievers in the entire league, led by unassuming head coach Barry Trotz. Their leading goal scorer has only 25 goals, their teams total points leader had a mere 50, yet here the Predators are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again. How the heck to they keep doing it?

Nashville Predators Playoff Prediction For 2011: It is dumbfounding when it comes to the Nashville Predators and their constant presence in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They should be an easy first round match up for any team that plays them, but true to form, they wont be. This ruthless team boasts a pair of defensemen in Shea Webber and Ryan Sutter that can shut you down. Gritty front liners like JP Dumont and David Legwand score timely goals and Pekka Rinne can be lights out if he wants to. We don’t see this team winning the cup, but they will 100% bring on the excitement by making their series competitive. One and out for the Preds, in a very tough opening round series for the Ducks.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Blackhawks are the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Blackhawks are beyond lucky to have a chance to defend that Stanley Cup championship during the 2011 playoffs. Players on the Minnesota Wild will be getting extra Christmas cards this year from fans in the Windy City, because, without a Wild win against the Dallas Stars on the final game of the season, the Blackhawks would not have received an invite to the post-season. What will become of that invitation?

Home Games Played At: United Center

Key Players: Patrick Sharp, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Corey Crawford

Head Coach: Joel Quenneville

How They Fared in 2010: Won the 2010 Stanley Cup

Chicago Blackhawks Playoff Prediction For 2011: The Chicago Blackhawks ended a 49 year drought by capturing the NHL Stanley Cup in 2010. They almost began a new drought before the 2011 playoffs even started. It took Chicago a full 82 games to qualify for the 2011 post-season, and while they have lost players like Dustin Byfuglien and Antti Niemi, much of their roster remains intact to defend their crown. The Blackhawks now hold the 8th seed, and will face an uphill battle against the Presidents Trophy winning Vancouver Canucks in the opening round of the playoffs. Loaded with talent, and having beaten the Canucks two playoffs in a row, the Hawks are surely optimistic they can pull off the upset. We, on the other hand, do not agree. If the Chicago Blackhawks truly had what it takes to win, they wouldn’t have struggled all season. Corey Crawford is not the answer in goal, it will be one and done for Chicago in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
