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

Dame. Can play

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

The Bosnian Beast with some funky stuff

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Definitely game

 

[DT_35]

If we don’t get Barton or Dozier back soon and continue to play Rivers then it’s series over

 

[Marcel Proust]

They traded out rj Hampton who was rookie of the month

 

[peternorth]

Big wins to the Mavs and Blazers.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Jokic couldnt of shot the ball any better and they got stomped in there own building

Thats close to series over IMO

Rivers and Campozzo against Dame and CJ is not even fair

 

[fidstar]

Late with the predictions

Utah in 4
Lakers in 6
LAC in 7
Portland in 7

Philly in 5
Nets in 4
Bucks in 6
Knicks in 7

14/27 and couldn’t shoot any better? Are you legitimately drunk?

MPJ 1/10 from the land of plenty couldn’t shoot any WORSE

Portland 19/40 from 3 couldn’t shoot any better

Mpj 4th best ever 3 point %

You'd think he might bounce back

They key is the looks, we got a lot of good looks tonight so a percentage like that doesn't shock me.

Ur defense was horrendous though

If you give guys like Dame, CJ, Roco, Simons open looks all game you will get cooked by the Blazers all series

Unless MPJ gets hot who is carrying the scoring on that Nugs roster behind Jokic without Murray and Barton? Rivers and Campozzo lol?

Agreed our defence was bad, not sure it can get any worse than today.

Roco? Lol that dude is garbage. If there’s anyone id give open shots to its him.

Dozier back would be nice, he can start over Rivers. He’s long, can defend and can score.
Also no idea why Malone won’t use McGee, braindead stuff

Yeah his rotations made no sense to me

Sat Jokic way too long in the 4th and let it get out of hand, and I wouldnt want Gordon taking 16 shots a game again either

Id be giving more minutes to Morris over that clown Rivers too, unless Barton and Dozier are expected back this series

Rivers was that useless in NY he couldnt even get in the guard rotation ahead of Ntilikina and Payton

 

[Mazza1234678]

Philly is the real deal

Embiid in foul trouble and doesn’t matter cos they got shooters everywhere going off

 

[Gigantic]

Refs doing their best and putting in work early in the series to put fouls on Ayton

 

[Santoz]

Rivers had that one good quarter where he shocked the world and dropped like 16 to lift the Knicks to victory.

Bought him way too much mileage afterward.

Absolute trash.

 

[DT_35]

Lakers 19-0 at the FT line hahahaha

 

[Mazza1234678]

Lakers are horrific viewing

 

[Gigantic]

Can the Suns make it to the last quarter without a FT attempt???

 

[Mazza1234678]

Nice chicken wing from CP3 there

 

[Mazza1234678]

God Harrell is a moron

 

[Gigantic]

What a joke.
