2021 NBA PLAYOFFS MEGA THREAD

[PIP]

Love that the Miami Heat are wearing the Indiana Pacers jersey. In addition to this top notch defense… Thank you, Adam Silver!

Centers are suddenly valuable in the league: I thought Lopez was excellent in OT

Get ready.

Warriors own pick jumps from 14 all the way up to 1
Minnesota's pick jumps us from 6 to 4 and gets conveyed to Warriors

Warriors pick 1 and 4

If the Dubs pick 1 and 4 the NBA should scrap the entire lottery system and just go back to the old way....you finish last you get the first pick and just start fining teams and taking away draft picks at the hint of “tanking”!

Clippers letting Luka call his own shots like Larry Bird.

Playoff P once again pissing his leg.

I bet Rondo takes over this game when it's time to win though.

Man, Jalen Brunson is so good.

RJ is such a great commentator.

playoff Rondo really making the difference in the 4th - I think the Mavs would have a comfortable lead if he wasn’t there for the Clips. I have no idea why the Lakers let him go after seeing what he did last year in the playoffs

Doncic looking weirdly tired in the 4th - he always seems to move in slow motion but now even more so

 

[cavsfever]

Gotta say it’s looking like the playoffs are going to be as awesome as the regular season was crappy

Like..the Mavs are just better. All around they have a more talented roster.

Clippers can only win if Kawhi plays like a legit top 3 player and scores 35 a night.

 

[RchfldCavRaised]

Mavericks doubled Kawhi all 4th and dared Paul George to beat them and he was happy to just be another guy out there instead.

 

[MirORich]

Early Clippers exit could lead to quicker back channel pre-interviews with Atkinson and Billups! Let's hope for a sweep!

 

[Rich]

There are some really interesting dynamics this postseason. And it's gonna get the Clippers beat.

Dallas has homecourt now and will have a full arena. Clippers still have to play in an empty arena.

Series over. Book it.

 

[pinoycavsfan]

The lack of fight/urgency from kwahi and pg13 is disgusting. One of them must take the lead if they want to beat luka and the mavs.

Kawhi looks like he got real old, real quick…Reminds me of like a 2001 Karl Malone…

Really? I thought his overall game was great except for his 3P shot was off tonight.

8-16 from 2P. Two monster jams. 10 rebounds. 5 assists. 4 steals. Zero turnovers.

Yes he was cold in the final 5 minutes but the Mavs doubled him consistently and forced the ball elsewhere. The Clipps are supposed to be built to not rely on one player down the stretch of every game. But his teammates did not get it done.

IDK, looked like the same old Kawhi to me
