2021 NBA Playoffs

[ztejas 43475]

Are we sure there isn't a way that both these teams can miss the playoffs? Has that been verified?

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?

Username checks out. 

But - just for shits and giggles - if it actually is the highest rated game and Lakers/Nets isn't the Finals I'll venmo you $50.

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

Resist that urge.

I like how they say "they HAVE to keep LeBron under 30 minutes tonight" to set up some stupid talking point about how incredible he is when he winds up playing 38 minutes in a close win. 

[ztejas 43475]

No fucking way W's are hanging with this team for 48. Curry may be amazing but it's just too easy to take him out of games with the lack of scoring options GS has. 

[ztejas 43475]

But AD is leaving the door a bit open... can't hit shit to start.  

[Baboontyme 2813]

Draymond controlling the game in the first quarter. He's an artist. Just gotta shut up and let stuff go. 

[Baboontyme 2813]

Why are they booing Harrell in LA? Too much Clippers stank?

Warriors are winning the minutes with LeBron on and Curry/Green off.

LeBron is a shell of himself right now. They can't afford to have him play on this ankle again tomorrow night. Needs to dig deep and do some GOAT shit. Someone show him some Zeke highlights from his ankle game.

AD off though. 

[Reynolds Woodcock 4758]

The Lakers are just so damn big, I assume they will eventually take over. But this has been fun so far.

[ztejas 43475]

Also how much are all the Lakers in the Finals future bettors sweating right now? 😂

Meh, they'll just convince themselves that Utah is a better matchup for them than Phoenix.

[Baboontyme 2813]

As stated that's a win for GSW. Steph and Draymond checking back in. I have to think AD is going to go hard at Draymond.

LeBron is hobbling and you think they'd be a lock to beat the Grizz tomorrow night if they lose?

They'd play Friday and, yeah, pretty much.

Ah I just realized that. Maybe that helps a bit. 

[aggie08 21505]

Keep shooting 3's, LA. You're super, super good at them.

[aggie08 21505]

Fuck double-technicals. Weak ass shit.

[ztejas 43475]

Lakers should just get to the lottery. LeBron clearly needs more help. 

[immortal13 4059]

Lakers looking like a pile of dogshit here late in the second

[ztejas 43475]

[immortal13 4059]

The double technical is worse than a no-call. So lame

[Machinator 32099]

Lakers look abysmal.

Omfg. He had the entire Lakers roster on him. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Jfc curry with an unbelievable buzzer beater

[Reynolds Woodcock 4758]

Absolute dagger

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Fuckin' A, Curry. Have a half.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Baboontyme 2813]

The last athlete that truly made me shake my head the way I do when I watch Steph was... Barry Sanders. That's the only thing I can compare it to. Just mind bending. 

[Wulaw Horn 19097]

So, I’m off lakers in the finals. I mean- it could happen I guess but they look unhealthy, unhealthy and just overall shitty. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

It's unreal how good Steph is at shot making. GOAT

[immortal13 4059]

Dude is fucking amazing, and with defenses trying like hell to stop him. It's just fun to watch no matter what team you're a fan of

[aggie08 21505]

Draymond has been the best player on the court and dude has 2 points.

[conVINCEd 21469]

Watching a non- genetic mutant dominate an NBA game pleases me tremendously.

They looked shitty in the bubble last year and lost to Portland in their first playoff game with an embarrassing effort. Health is obviously a different animal, but damn it's hard to count out LeBron.

[Nicole44 22061]

Fun game!

This, and not to mention all the rust. I heard today the odds makers had LA favored and found that a little curious. I wouldn't have bet any of my money on the Lakers

[Machinator 32099]

Maybe the Lakers turn it around, but you have to laugh at all of the teams in the West falling over themselves to be on the opposite side of the bracket.

[Baboontyme 2813]

Still a huge longshot but I took Lakers at +900 to lose the next two and miss the tourney. I feel like they could easily lose twice due to rust/chemistry. But if they don't, and find themselves in a 7 game series, I think they skate into the Finals.

This much I agree with. Fucking pathetic. If you think they're so good and you have Finals' aspirations, you'll have to play them anyway. Might as well draw them early before they figure out their chemistry and rotations.

It’s a weird year.  The Nets are the best team on paper in the East, but they treated the regular season like the preseason, so they may have chemistry issues.  I don’t trust the Sixers, Bucks, Jazz, or Suns.  I guess that leaves the Clippers???  They’re worse than last year.  Might be the year to toss some cash on a long shot.

[Machinator 32099]

Oh, and the Lakers still insist on doing the Drummond thing.

[Nicole44 22061]

 

[Machinator 32099]

Warriors are just pissing away possessions and have put the Lakers in the bonus.

I stand corrected: Anthony Davis has been the best player for the Warriors so far.
