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

Marcus Smart on an impressive streak of missed 3 pointers....

 

[Westy Bogan]

Harden is having quite the game...

Only way to stop these Nets is slow it down, play big and smash the boards

He just hit one and has plenty to say

Then bricked the next one on a supposed heat check

How good are american ads? Even though its for crap, i cant take my eyes off it

If you guys are getting the feed to HT show its so so bad.

Some rapper, that is trying to sing to his own song playing in background and he is totally off the beat and he has to skip his swear words so there are other gaps in the song.

Just wondering around sounding like bad karaoke where guy cant read the words

Not sure you can stop the Nets unless you nullify their scoring, their entire game structure is to simply outscore their opponents. I think there is only one side that can slow their scoring and do damage at the other end are the Bucks.

Will be hard for them to stop Giannis...

Thanks ,mate

Fast break, Tatum. U turns to the 3pt line, misses.

 

[Itsmyshow]

Boston definitely don't have the firepower.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Boston need someone like Tyler Herro who can really light it up...

Better than the 100 different hair loss ads we get through Kayo

 

[peternorth]

Why Tyler?

 

[Itsmyshow]

Marcus Smart tonight

Tyler would struggle in Boston. They are just missing Jaylen Brown. Badly

 

[peternorth]

Boston arent going away

 

[Westy Bogan]

Tyler would struggle in Boston. They are just missing Jaylen Brown. Badly

haha... Im just joking...

 

[Westy Bogan]

Why Tyler?

He is white - he is short - he cant create his own shot and he cant play D...

But he must be awesome cause Heat would not trade him for harden

 

[Westy Bogan]

They just showed a clip of Jordan winning game 1 of finals series against Utah... Score line... A massive 84 to 82..

No wonder when players scored 30 points back then it was a big deal...

 

[Westy Bogan]

Nash smart in using challenge there..... other coaches should learn... some of the stupid and early challengers I have seen...
