2021 NBA Playoffs Thread First Round. Vale Heat, Celtics, Wizards, Knicks, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Mavericks

[peternorth]

Welcome to the inaugural post COVID-19 crowd restricted NBA playoffs. The playoff picture is almost complete as the Grizzly bears are trying to claw their way to 8th spot in San Francisco. Winner to take on the Jazz.

So as it stands right now (22:47 Friday 21st May, USA Eastern daylight time), the Grizz look like advancing. But as we know, you can never go the early crow in sport (see Brisbane Lions QF in 2020).

The below image illustrates the bracket so far

Drives me nuts.

Why look like a professional sports team when you can look like rec league Tuesday night pickup squad?

 

[ManOfClay]

Well that sucked overall.

Ja though...

Fair enough. Knew he was a flog when he did the whole ROY thing with taking pot shots at Ben.

If you really wanna see bitterness just have a look at Utah fans towards Ben. They hate his guts.

Westbrook does not like popcorn



Curry got hurt?

Sixers doomed

Questionable

The whole 'feud' is ridiculous, and anyone who buys into it needs their head checked. Goes both ways.

A massive kerfuffle over nothing.

He means Donovan, not Tom.

Well the Lakers give me that rec league feel with their “plain white T” starting front court
