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

Kinda looked like it, although you never know.

Says he loves Booker and is besties with CP3 yet just walks off without congratulating the opposition. Bit shit.

 

[jod23]

Respect and class

He looks super happy about it.

Bron trying to get the man who’s put the biggest dent in his legacy to come resurrect the final part of it

Pathetic.

Says he loves Booker and is besties with CP3 yet just walks off without congratulating the opposition. Bit sh*t.

And this is why he will never. Let me repeat that. Never be the goat.

Stern, I mean Silver tried.

Nice to see Melo finally helped Denver win a series.

 

[fidstar]

So Luka has as many 40+ point playoff games as Duncan, Malone, Magic, Kawhi and Dame.

He has more than AD, Giannis, Kyrie and CP3.

He's played 11 playoff games.

It’s a fair draft class

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

I think this says as much about the Laker shooting but he’s definitely improved defensively

[HODGEYROAD]

So are the Clippers going to stand up ? Or they going to have a shockingly poor exit tonight ?

 

[fidstar]

This is awesome.

Particularly since in the last 6 years there's been 3 other teams that have broken long term droughts.

[Gigantic]

Hopefully the Mavs get it done and we can have Phoenix, Denver, Utah and Dallas battling it out

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Jalen Rose - If I had to re-seed the West, the Utah Jazz would be #1.

Such insight

Let's go boban

 

[Westy Bogan]

Is Leonard serious in this game?

looks very “LeBron” passive

 

[hotchilli]

Really hoping the Mavs can get this done, would love both Morris twins knocked out in back-to-back days.

yeah but 40 is the new 30 in this modern age of big scores. Increased pace and no hand checking

ok. That’s better

 

[Westy Bogan]

I keep expecting Porky Zingus to have one good game in this series. Just one

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Is this Optus Stadium when the Eagles are playing?

BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Borough Blood]

Boban and KP on the floor at the same time?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Boban. LOL
