2021 NBA playoffs thread

Ja with his first big time moment. I'm on my Grizzly.

Glad to see JAM lead them to a win. The late three point foul call to keep GS in it was the NBA at it's worst.

The shoulder shake gets three months to recover.

I trust the Jazz more than the Suns.
There really are some coin flip matchups. Should be fun.

I want to trust the Jazz, but they are a cold shooting night away from losing to just about anybody. Case in point, their record v.s the Timberwolves this year. I don't think anyone can beat the Lakers in a best of 7 series still at this point. At least not in the West. If the Nets are focused and everyone healthy, I think they have the best shot.

I really have no idea who's the favorite right now. With the way that the playoffs change so much when those elite athletes out in full effort on the defensive end, I don't know how the teams like NJ will do without playing defense. I'd say that the Lakers should be the favorites, but it's going to take LeBron a few games to get into form. If they were playing a patsy first round then I'd say they were the favorite. But they also could be out first round.

These Heat uniforms look like they stole them from the Indiana Pacers. Since when is Miami primary color gold?

Fox sports said the bet of the year was Luka at 27.5 pts today and to take the over.
I hedged and didn't touch it.
Over.

Clippers start of poorly again

George had a nice second half but it's just a "weird" team.
This offseason will be interesting for them.

28% from three will get you smoked in this league

Karma for them tanking the end of the season because they were scared they could possibly face the lakers in the first round. Bunch of gutless cowards.

I agree with the defensive part, but who the hell is NJ. You know they’ve been Brooklyn for a bit now right? They can score with anyone but they can’t stop a fat man at a buffet right now.

Oh crap. Living in the past.

Looking forward to this Nuggets Blazers series.

Been good so far

Pissed off that Campazzo seems to have taken Montes regular spot in the rotation. Hopefully more of a situation where they have him on a minute count since he's coming back from his injury.

The decision to not double Jokic paid off I think, 34 points but only 1 assist.

Denver really had Monte looking to drive the ball, I wonder if he was asking to be off the bench again or not.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

Denver really doesn't match up well with Portland. Lillard just crushes them.

 

[madguy30]

Bummer for Paul. Such an incidental injury.

THT getting some time.

Phoenix finally got a couple free throws, took until the third quarter 7:40 mark

Let's Go Suns! 1 down 3 to go.

Hope they keep it up but sadly expect the Lakers to rebound in Game 2 and win the series.
