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

[ESPN] Trae Young is the 2nd player in NBA history with 30 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds in his postseason debut. LeBron James is the other.


Trae Young in his first career playoff game: 32 points, 7 rebs, 10 assists, 1 game winner.


Trae Young first player with 30p/10a in his playoff debut since Derrick Rose

BTW, never change CP3... always getting injured in big games and always plays dirty...

His hairline will match Lebron' in no time as well.... Its just hanging in there.

Hopefully he is alright for rest of series.

James is worried about cp3

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Jazz should win this by 20+ if they are half competent, how Memphis made it I'll never know

Despite me hating him my hate for Lakers runs deeper

No Mitchell makes it harder

 

[LukeParkerno1]

No Mitchell makes it harder

It's Memphis lol

Jazz have a bucket of shooters

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Told them to STFU a fair bit.

Knicks fans were bagging him fair bit during game

They never learn do they? They did it for years to Reggie Miller, than Paul Pierce

It's great to have another Villain at MSG though

 

[Westy Bogan]

If Jazz win this they may keep him out in this series unless needed.

Rubbed off on Cam Payne too as he was ejected. Shocking veteran leadership

I reckon an open air game might finish him there

Cp3 was on track to beat the best team ever until his hammy snapped ..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What is this rubbish!

How bad are both teams playing lol

 

[Memphis]

Wish ESPN/Kayo showed Hawks v Knicks. Seems like the best First Round game so far.

Also Lakers three losses now from being eliminated

Lakers in 6.

 

[Marcel Proust]

On an unrelated note.

Jusuf Nurkić is a good match up on jokic

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Lakers in 6.

Don't tell Me you believe that I am a jinx/curse of Death nonsense from the Association Football Board do you ? Lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

8 turnovers or whatever and still lead the game by 7 lol

 

[Marcel Proust]

Get the urge to drink hennessy

 

[Memphis]

Don't tell Me you believe that I am a jinx/curse of Death nonsense from the Association Football Board do you ? Lol

Fair to say you've had your moments.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Not sure if Xavier Tillman v gobert is a good idea

 

[Mazza1234678]

Lol Randle is s***

What an insipid display from him

Jacked up rubbish shots all night long

Burks and Rose carried them. Would of been a 20+ pt stomping othewise

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This game is so bad it's almost funny...

Jazz playing like it's ONLY Memphis
