2021 NBA Playoffs

[Machinator 32099]

Starting with the play-in tournament.

[BigOrange1 6471]

i think the 3/6 and 4/5 matchups in the east could be really good.  not sure there is much there with those matchups in the west.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Bartles 769]

Yeah, Wizards vs Nets could look like G League games if the players were world class...good luck betting the under totals

[Patrick Bateman 3932]

[Machinator 32099]

[Underdog 28773]

These next 3 weeks should be pretty good for First Round action.

I have not been paying attention to the NBA because I always wait until the playoffs. Are these just one-game playoffs, so to speak, the next couple of nights?

Lol.  Is this the first playoff team to tank?

Not doing a very good job of it.

Pacers are whooping that ass at half time. Charlotte looks as young and inexperienced as they are. 

[Machinator 32099]

Someone needs to tell Charlotte that they are out of the postseason if they lose today.

[Wulaw Horn 19152]

Feel bad for the hornets. Hayward getting hurt ruined what was a pretty fun and exciting season for them I’m sure. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Sabonis with 14 pts, 21 reb, 9 ast through 3Q.

[ztejas 43537]

Is one of those cats out there wearing Pumas?

[ztejas 43537]

Who else is super stoked about hearing this shitty Drake song (and don't get me wrong there's a lot of Drake I can get behind) ad nauseum for the next 2 months?

[ztejas 43537]

Oh my God the Nets would fucking murder Boston. At least Washington has some experience against those guys with Westbrook and I feel like they could get under their skin and run with BKN a little better.

If I'm Boston I'd seriously consider losing this one and winning the next game to get the 6ers matchup. Or just losing both for draft capital.

[Machinator 32099]

Don't know if TNT changed the mixing but this is one of the few game broadcats that appears to have real crowd sound.

Some of these games have actually had a few thousand butts in seats which makes it easier to mix I would think if your are pumping in on top of it.

Especially in Boston.

Huh, the Wizards' Garrison Matthews was on that Lipscomb team that Texas beat in the NIT.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8821]

Glad to hear Marv is retiring. He’s really putting to me to sleep calling this game

[BigOrange1 6471]

i was expecting more out of this game.

beal hit a bomb 3 at the end of the shot clock while washington was playing 4 on 5 because bertans was down and marv didn't even acknowledge it.

At the end of the day these are 2 pretty shitty non-contenders. 

[ztejas 43537]

Fournier looks so much better without that awful comb over.

oh for sure, i just figured it'd be in the 126-124 range.

[ztejas 43537]

14/31 thats like a Kobe 50 right there 😂

[MNLonghornFUKM 8821]

Can’t be too many times in Boston’s stories history they’ve hosted a game that started at 9PM local time

I'm pretty stoked for Celtics / Nets. Not because I think the series is going to be remotely competitive, but just for the Celtic fan schadenfreude.  Remember how bad they fleeced the Nets in that Garnett/Pierce trade? Yeah... that really didn't work out how anybody saw it. And to top it off, they get to watch Kyrie Irving take a huge dump all over them after he poisoned their locker room and then bailed. And what's fucked is that their current players somehow seem to revere him. If they had played their cards differently, maybe it's Boston that winds up with Kyrie, Durant and Harden? I can't imagine how bad this has to stick in the Celtic's fans craw, especially since their hubris and sense of entitlement runs only (slightly) behind that of the Lakers. For so many years, Red Auerbach outmaneuvered the rest of the league and it looked like Ainge did too. And now.... this is got to be tough to watch.

[Machinator 32099]

Grizzlies up early on the Spurs.

I’d say he’s well on the way to having a lot of hookers and blow.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8821]

What are the numbers? How’s he doing

[BigOrange1 6471]

i don't know what the numbers were but i'd be shocked if he had lost any of those yet.

[aggie08 21531]

Is the Warriors/Lakers play-in game going to be the highest rated game of the season if the Finals is any permutation other than Lakers/Nets?

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

I’m sure a Lakers-clippers matchup would draw pretty well.  

[Machinator 32099]

These teams are setting back basketball about 20 years.

It’s the one play-in game that’s been competitive.

I can’t believe any non-fan of either team is watching this shit.

I was unsure what time the Lebron/Steph game started so I flipped over to check.

Consider it a 2.5 hour pregame show.

[aggie08 21531]

It's too bad that this one, lone, outlier anomaly of a game is going to cause Spurs' fans to sour on DeMar DeRozan.

[aggie08 21531]

Andrew Wiggins gonna fuck around and make me say something nice about him.
