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

Not with the way Kawhi is getting aggressive looking for his shot.

Good decision I think

Assuming they hold on and win, these Mavs will get swept by the Jazz.

Leonard looks tired. If only they had given him more rest during the season

Clippers bench 0 points still.

PG13 looks lost and out of synch with them offense. Well he just nailed a shot

Do you even triple double bro?

Not going to happen if Dorian Finney Smith is shooting down the stretch
