2021 NBA PLAYOFFS MEGA THREAD

fix is in. I am done with the nba when it comes to ensuring certain players are in the finals

He made comments he shouldn't have, but he definitely was not an asshole. And the 2nd time he "left", he retired after the next year.

All this to say, who fucking cares? He was a great player for the franchise. Get over your own feelings. Players move on.

The 76ers defense is SWISS CHEESE right now. They have no idea how to defend the Hawks, while the Hawks have definitely figured out a formula on their defensive end.

it was a joke lol sounds like you got feelings to put to bed not me buddy

Kawhi and PG3 rightly getting a lot of credit, but their roleplayers shot 17/32 from 3. That's just ridiculous...no one's beating this team if they shoot like that.

 

[MirORich]

If Doncic's teammates shoot 10/25 from 3 instead of 5/25, Mavs win and everyone's talking about how Doncic is the best player in the league

Luka is in the mix for top player in the league today with about 4-6 other players.

It remains to be seen how long it takes for his team to reach a Conference Finals or NBA Finals.

Taking NOTHING away from Luka but until these last few minutes when the Clips reestablished the league to double digits, his second half scoring had been much more subdued than his 1st half outburst. I know there is a limit to how much one player can do, but for them to win with their current roster, he need to either be more assertive or simply just hit more shots in the 3rd qtr and early 4th qtr of the past 2-3 games.

What is Paul George doing?? Moron...

 

[MirORich]

It's just the way the game is now.

Feels like these series could just flip on a hat based on which role players make 3s.

Even though this is the first game a home team won in the series, I don't think we can undersell just how key the Home Court was in Game 7. I just do not believe for one minute the Clips role players go 17-32 in a game 7 on the road.

That's easily a Flagrant 1. Contact while a player is airborne like that is always a Flagrant.

What?!

The Clips whupped them in the second half. There was no 2-3 calls that even come close to changing the course of this game.

 

[Rich]

Next series gonna be decided on who is hot from 3 more often: Reggie Jackson or Jordan Clarkson.


.....can't wait.


Anyway if you wanna win in this NBA then shooting >>>>everything.

It's the only way to build a team. Shooting and more shooting.

How though? The Clippers (wisely) bring constant double teams...what's the winning formula when Doncic's teammates are hitting 20% from 3, and Kawhi/PG3's teammates are hitting over 50%?

nah fix is in. LAC got away with everything in this game.
But yeah, Dallas role players could not defend, regardless and missed to many shots

Yeah, and I think most fans would rather watch a magician like Luka than a quiet efficient Kawhi, who's already won titles before. Luka's game is more entertaining.

No one would fix anything for a Kawhi team to win.

Same problem Giannis had against the Nets...doesn't matter what you do if your team's shooting like 10% on jumpshots. You're gonna lose.
