2021 NBA playoffs thread

I still see they sticking with this stupid first round scheduling where multiple days can go by without another game.
Who are some of the headliners for each team? Not a big NBA follower. Ja Morant, Memphis looks good, 1st year player. Devon Booker, Suns.
Who are the young stars to watch in the playoffs?
Luka Doncic for the Mavs and Trae Young for the Hawks were both awesome in their game 1’s. Also both young guys too, just like the ones you mentioned. The young talent in the league right now is so fun to watch
Jokic is ony like 26, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Zion, Luka Donovan Mitchell, Michal Porter Jr, Jamal Murray, Ben Simmons, Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo, Brandon Ingram, Damontas Sabonis, Lamello Ball, De'aron Fox, Collin Sexton and Tyrese Haliburton are all guys that are under 25, I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. The league is set up to be great for a long time.
I guess Bane and Georges have a rivalry thing going now, Bane being from TCU. Gizzlies up 1-0 on big series. All pressure on Utah for game 2.
I watched quite a bit of the Celtics vs. Nets game Sunday. Jason Tatum looked very good. Nets older vets Durant, Irving, Harden too much in end.
Yes a lot of talent with the younger players coming up. I will try to keep my eyes open. Looks like Nets and 76ers in East, and Jazz, Suns in West as favorites?
But some good teams with younger players providing some upsets/good games.
Wow. to be expected I guess because of Labron, but it's weird how everybody is picking the Lakers over the Suns! So far Suns over Lakers 1-0.

What I appreciate Dame more is that while an increasing number of superstars change teams to chase rings, he stays true to himself and loyal to the BlazerNation. I hope someday his perseverance pays off.
I hope someday he joins with Ja Morant and Tyrese Halliburton to form a 3 headed guard court the likes of which the NBA has never seen. With Jason Williams as coach.
