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

Mitchell only 20 mins? What is going on

 

[QuietB]

Uglier jumpshot: Jaren Jackson or Aron Baynes?

That jump shot is ugly

 

[Mazza1234678]

Utah are a shambles here

 

[stewie griffen]

Clarkson is literally a black hole offensively

He aint passing it

 

[kaiserchief13]

Carn Memphis

 

[Supersuns]

Man this Memphis team is fun to watch

 

[Mazza1234678]

Gobert is hopeless

Grayson the GOAT

 

[kaiserchief13]

Conley vs Morant

 

[stewie griffen]

Mitchell coming up huge

 

[ManOfClay]

This has been a great comeback but respect to Utah’s three point shooting

 

[danielnajdek]

Lol the defensive player of the year giving up second chance points galore

Blocks shots though.....

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Every decision Dillon Brooks has made down the stretch here has been the worst possible.

 

[danielnajdek]

Might work against Memphis but Mitchell jacking up this many shots isn't gonna work against the Lakers.

 

[ManOfClay]

Well that was fun. Time for a beer

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Clarkson might be the worst six man in history IMO

Mitchell in chuck mode

Utah in big trouble here

Lakers are laughing that this is the number 1 seed

Clarkson throwing up circus shots, just lol

Lol the defensive player of the year giving up second chance points galore

Utah are a shambles here

Gobert is hopeless

I'm sensing a theme here.

Lakers need to get past Phoenix first....

 

[stewie griffen]

I'm sensing a theme here.

Ooh ooh is it flogging a dead horse?

Or supporting Collingwood?

 

[Supersuns]

Utah too good from behind the arc. That's the difference

 

[danielnajdek]

Lakers need to get past Phoenix first....

True but if Lakers win game 4 it's basically series over.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Blocks shots though.....

The fact that his team are astronomically better on defence when he plays probably has something to do with it.

Don’t forget those screen assists!
