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

Bucks came to play.

Getting towards 50. First quarter.



Bucks 10/15 from3

 

[DT_35]

Miami have regressed so badly this season for a team that has had very minimal changes (if any?), unreal

 

[peternorth]

What happened to herro and robinson? Supposed to the next next big white hope?

Herro too good to trade for harden

 

[Memphis]

Getting towards 50. First quarter.



Bucks 10/15 from3

Not ideal to give up 46 points in the 1st quarter of a playoff game.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Jrue +35 in 21 minutes.

Not too shabby.

poor man's bledsoe

Heat playing bit dirty now

 

[Iceman!]

Team that underperformed all year and never looked like a contender but they were going to win this series cause 'Heat culture'

LMFAO

Losing Crowder was pretty significant I think

 

[Marcel Proust]

Bucks giving the deep bench a run now.

Nice games Giannis. Forbes.

Jrue 15 assist too

Losing Crowder was pretty significant I think

They shouldn't have got rid of the guy for the racist Jewish comments.
.
They have no 4 spot. Solid team otherwise. Bam. Butler. Robinson. Etc

 

[Son of Skeletor]

poor man's bledsoe

This would be an appropriate time to use the > sign. As in Jrue >>>> Bledsoe.

A poor man's Bledsoe doesn't exist, but if he did he'd probably be a hobo. A hobo who was very fussy about what he ate and doesn't try very hard when he takes a squeegee to your windshield at the traffic lights.

They got Ariza in the trade, who's a better four than Leonard will ever be.

Trading Olynyk for Oladipo hasn't worked out too well for them yet though.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Very brave trade doing four first round picks for Jrue.

Before Giannis or Jrue signed the contract extensions

 

[danielnajdek]

Jokic should take up soccer with that kind of diving.

 

[peternorth]

Denver should not be wearing red against portland.

Eh, he definitely got shoved.

Wouldn't crack Marcus Smart's top 100.

 

[DT_35]

Eh, he definitely got shoved.

Wouldn't crack Marcus Smart's top 100.

Or Embiids

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Denver should not be wearing red against portland.

I don't understand why they wear their two alternate unis for both their two home games.

Truth be told I dunno why teams wear them anyway, as 90% of them are crap. But it's the playoffs, just wear your classic duds.

 

[DT_35]

On an unrelated note.

Jusuf Nurkić is a good match up on jokic

Is he really though? Jokic getting whatever he likes

 

[Marcel Proust]

Jokic is the mvp he is going to get points.

If they double team him nuggets hit 1000s threes

Midget team too and ancient melo
