2021 NBA PLAYOFFS MEGA THREAD

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yea Jokic has to do too much against a truly good defensive team. Portland wasn't that.


But Denver needed Poter Jr. to play like a star on the rise and Aaron Gordon to play above his head and neither are.

That essentially leaves Jokic having to run the offense and do all the scoring. It's not enough.


If they're healthy I'll be picking Denver as my pre-season favorite next season. But they're cooked.


I do think Malone needs to go down swinging a little more. Just try McGee a little. Get some energy. They traded for him for a reason. If you aren't gonna give him burn down 2-0 and losing at the half of game 3, then when?

Buddy Aaron Gordon was reported as being the dude who called out his team for being soft after game 1 and he has since been a complete and utter no-show.

I was really high on this dude 3 seasons ago. And he's just stalled out. Not improving.
 
What does the KN stand for on the Denver Nuggets Court?
 
MPJ needs to work extremely hard this off-season on being a more well-rounded player, particularly on defense.

I'm not sold on him being some great offensive player but his size and shooting is good enough on a team with Jokic and Murray.


But if he's gonna defend like he's 125 years old then they need to think about cashing in on him before they give him a monster contract. This team needs him to be a good defensive player and he has the tools to be one.

It just feels like it's the year for Paul and Phoenix. He legit looks like he's playing some of the best basketball of his entire life and this is one series removed of him not being able to shoot at all. The stars seem aligned.

Karma and the star aligning around Paul it seems.
Instead of his injury again being the story, both his first two opponents got injuries to deal with.
He's got 1 of the 2 most balanced teams in the league in terms of guys of all sizes, his team has shooting to match the rest, and those same guys can play tough D across the board, a rim protector and a second star player to back him up.

Nets and Jazz will be tough outs but Phoenix as I said is versatile, well coached, talent as well to match up with anybody it seems

KIA logo. digitally put on the floor...more and more ads sneaking in.
That blue clorox ad on the bucks green court was an eye sore.
 
I saw Stephen A. with one of the worst takes ever.

If the Clippers lose this series, he thinks they should just let Kawhi walk.

A team that has essentially traded all of his valuable picks away for the foreseeable future should just say fuck it and rebuild??WITH WHAT??
 
Mitchell looks hobbled to my eye. No explosion off the dribble at all....uh oh.
 
Hey there's Pandemic P. Trying to flop Clarkson into getting kicked out of the game.

That's the player I've come to know and respect.
 
Mitchell looks slow to me.

All of his points are jumpers. He's not beating anyone off the dribble nor is he finishing over anyone at all.

He's also a target on defense and not challenging anyone's jump shots.

If he's not hurt then he's just taking it easy for a game and hoping Conley comes back for game 4.

But I think he's hobbled from the end of game 2.
 
Mitchell seems to be scoring at the same pace as the first 2 games, so if he's hurt, I wanna be hurt like him.

PG is having himself a game still.
