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

Randle

Horrendous

 

[Santoz]

Our offense has been absolute garbage this quarter.

To be down 8 only is a miracle.

Too easy for Trae at home with no one locking down on him

Randle

Horrendous

Needs a sports psychologist asap. Been garbage 3 playoffs games in a row = choker

 

[Westy Bogan]

LOLKnicks Offense is broken

 

[NeutralFan]

Trae is so fun to watch.
Randle has been terrible.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Gallo giving me those Birdman vibes with that hair

RJ Barrett putrid when creating his own shot.

Knicks deserve this.

 

[NeutralFan]

Randle trying to force himself to carry.
He needs an ego check.

At the risk of going old man yells, they really need to clean the uniform situation up.

One 'alternative' jersey per team, per season. Wear it half a dozen times or whatever in the regular season, and leave it alone in the playoffs.

And either home team wears white, or the away team does - whatever the rule is, pick one and stick with it. At the moment you can get two teams wearing their 'home' city/holiday/marketing exercise jerseys with clashing colours - it's ridiculous.

You can't tell who's at home, or even which teams are playing half the time. Pink and orange city jerseys vs gold and silver holiday jerseys - great! Can't believe people would buy replicas of at least half the alternative jerseys, they're rank.

With the exception being the Lakers in home yellow. All other teams had and have a white jersey for home games. Now you have clashes galore with all manors of colour. Highliy offensive to those who are colour sensitive.

So this seasons Most Improved player is now 12/48 in this series. Playing 5 extra minutes per game more than last season, no wonder his stats have improved.

Microwave your memberships!

Is there room left in yours for a few more?

Just cleaned mine the other day & wouldn't let the Knicks ruin the hard work I put in

 

[Mazza1234678]

Randle trying to force himself to carry.

Yup looks like the Randle from LA just forcing shit

 

[Mazza1234678]

Randle lost on offense and defense

Absolute liability atm

 

[Santoz]

What's with us leaving our feet, not looking to shoot & trying to find a pass in mid air?

 

[Mazza1234678]

Get this clown off the court ffs

 

[Santoz]

NY media will rip into Julius after this. See how he enjoys the city when the going gets tough.
