2021 NBA Playoffs

Ayton has been non-existent. I get they're up 20 but he needs to be better. 

[DonkeyCigars 143]

LeBron looks washed. Shame.

3 years in LA:

- Missed playoffs due to LeBron injury.

- Won title in completely abnormal year with a 5 month break before the playoffs to recover.

- First 1st round exit of LeBron's career after AD injury and rust from both AD and LeBron missing months of the season.

 

What's the future? Rest them just enough to get the 6 seed, then pray?

No. They won the most difficult title in NBA history in year 2.

That sounds about right.

Ah yes, I forget.

 

Correction: 2nd most. The most difficult was purposely putting himself in a 1-3 hole against Golden State for added style points.

He's chasing ghosts when he should be comfortable with what he's accomplished. He's trying to win 5 MVPs and 6 titles at the same time and it's just not going to happen. His body can't keep up anymore.

Thaaaat might be a flagrant.

[ztejas 43459]

Yeah that's at least a 1.

[Machinator 32099]

[SilasCoade 2622]

Not a flagrant

I think it's a 1. Wouldn't be in the 80s. He wound up and smacked the shit out of him and completely missed the ball. 

[ztejas 43459]

Yeah. It's the wind up that gets him. 

That follow up T on Craig is fucking stupid. Gotta keep em somewhat in the game I guess.

Booker with 33 - 6 off of 39 which is the record for most points in a half in the playoffs - held by none other than Sleepy Floyd. 

Durant almost broke it with 38 in 2019 - he tied Barkley for 2nd. 

Floyd's game was crazy because it was in the 2nd half and he had 29 of the 39 in the 4th quarter. KD and Barkley's 38 were both in the first half.

That 2013 series was so great. That was supposed to be the Lakers superteam with Dwight, Kobe and Nash. By the time the playoffs came around I think only Dwight was left standing and we swept the shit out of them. 

Gasol was still there too. The Spurs won by 11, 11, 31 and 21.

The Mother’s Day Massacre was better.

[CurlyDumps 4473]

I want Jae Crowder mic’d up for this.

[Wulaw Horn 19073]

So, I love Barkley but he’s being pretty hypocritical. He calls AD Mr Street Clothes last night and then knocks the docs for letting him try to play. 
that dudes playing so he doesn’t get roasted in the media, plain and simple. And chuck was the one putting that nickname on him.

You really can't afford to take LeBron out there but I guess he can't play 40 mins.

Bit of a game developing.

If Morris is vaxed it shouldn’t be an issue. Not sure why the nba is testing on game day at at 8:00 am still. 

[ztejas 43459]

This is a hard-fouling ass series. 

[ztejas 43459]

Lakers fouling their way right back out of this game

Markieff must’ve missed the part about surface transmission is really rare, assuming the fan touched the ball

[shadow_operative 15932]

Suns now 15/25 from deep.

[shadow_operative 15932]

CP3. big shot. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

lmao at that lob from Kuzma. shit hit off the top of the square. 

[ztejas 43459]

Booker choking this one away a bit here.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Paul just abused Schroeder.

[shadow_operative 15932]

another big shot from Paul.

[ztejas 43459]

CP doing the opposite. He's been huge in the 4th. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

[ztejas 43459]

Booker didn't know how to close out a series so he had to ask dad for help. Pops is showing him but he'll want Booker to do it on his own next time. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

LMAO at LeBron not being on the floor. what a giant, gaping pussy. fucking clown.

CP3 has only played a few more total minutes than AD this series--and most of those minutes have been hobbled--but something tells me all that we're going to hear tomorrow is how short-handed the Lakers were and how difficult it is to compete without your 2nd best player.

[CurlyDumps 4473]

Lakers offense without AD looks fucking putrid. Like Shaka level incompetent.

[Sbbruin 21858]

Too little too late

[CurlyDumps 4473]

Crowder should post up Lebron.

[ztejas 43459]

This Phoenix team is tough. I pointed it out after game one but they are a different beast than that Blazers team LA played last year. They don't just roll over and accept it when they get punched in the mouth - they have a lot of fight and resilience. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Love it Booker. Fuck LA.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18550]

He'd have to do it on the Lakers end of the court because Lebron hardly bothered to go down to the other end the last two minutes of the game and instead sat there and bitched at the refs. Fucking quitter.
