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

Lol 2 FTS for the mvp. What a moronic post

We able to say anything negative regarding Denver in this thread ffs

Get a grip

He’s an absolute gun but if you don’t think he flops more than most and gets calls u have no idea

Lol he has to accentuate contact otherwise the refs give him absolutely nothing.

If you think the best big in the league doesn’t deserve more FTs than he currently gets then you sir, have no idea. You touch AD with a fingernail and it’s an automatic foul

And at least he doesn’t roll around on the ground with a bit of contact like LBJ, Davis, Doncic, Embiid etc lol

Embiid is a godamn monster when he's on.

Dunno how the Nets are gonna contain him.

Where was this Danny Green in LA ?

Oh lawdy

Blake Griffin put up a massive performance on Giannis couple years ago before injuries cooked him...

Claxton in for a long few games. Jordan will get a shot too...

Jeff green might be fit but he will get bullied...

Losing lemarcus was a big blow..

Embiid looking awesome atm

They can’t.

Philly should be feeding him every play against Brooklyn

Simmons better creator than lebron. Doesn't iso for 15 secs all the time.

The way Simmons always gives the ball to someone open for 3 is amazing. He would have 15+ assist pgame at warriors/nuggets

What about Harris curry green sinking 3s...

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Teams don't really "stop" Embiid, they just stop everybody else on the Sixers.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Jalen Rose has a broom

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Zards are getting swept like the Heat.

 

[peternorth]

wow philly cookin

The Butler Sixers starting 5 were arguably more talented than our current one.

Infinitely prefer watching this one play though.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Embiid is so good it’s not funny

Reddick was massive negative on d, would always get smashed and was streaky too.

Butler is overrated and is one of the worse 3 point shooters in the league for his position

Embiid is so good it’s not funny

Boston beat him last time...

30ppg but couldn't get the wins... Simmons is the key

 

[peternorth]

Is this 76ers team that good or Wiz that bad?

Simmo 0-9 from the line.

Chucky out in straight sets again

Tbf to him this matchup is just unfair, Philly probably have the most cohesive roster in the league. Everything just works

 

[NSWCROW]

Vale Eaton.

He was a big man. Makes Rudy look small in the photos below.

My fave Mark Eaton memory



Did it to the King too

Maxey is like Fultz draft scouting report.

Doc took a long time to rest Harris.
