OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[addict4sneakers]

Carlisle doubled Kawhi in the 4th. If PG going to shoot contested jumpers then they’ll play right in the Mavs hands.

 

[QU!K]

 

[reconic supreme]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol

Morris did the same thing after that Tatum dunk on LeBron
Players just love poking the bear when they aren’t even involved in the play

Kawhi going to the kings

 

[ill steelo]

Miami hit 20 threes to the Bucks 5 and lost Very expensive L. Jrue was Jrue, money well spent but aggressive Brook Lopez is a game changer for Milwaukee. He’s so damn huge nobody really has a matchup for him.

Very entertaining.

Jimmy with 9 threes attempted has me questioning his conditioning. He hasn’t been hitting them for a couple years at this point and he just kept firing away. Either a rare low IQ game from him.... or he’s getting tired. If this series went 7 games I would’ve expected him to have attempted 9 threes TOTAL.

luka improving his english too

Clippers probably shouldn’t have tried to manipulate the standing after all.

PG fo Lillard

 

[lawdog1]

should've stayed at the 3 spot vs portland
thought that was the better match up

This is what you get for trying to duck a Round 2 matchup with the Lakers before you even get there.

They’re probably going to win the series, but it’s going to be a dog fight.

I guess, but they way I see it, if we can’t beat the Mavs, it probably means we wouldn’t have gone more than two rounds anyway. Might as well know in the first round.

Was mildly worried about the Zubac situation for the Mavs because he’s routinely torched them for 2 years now. Dunking everything, rebounding, he’s been a nightmare the Mavs struggled to find an answer for.

But if the Clips are gonna keep switching everything, Luka’s just going to run him off the floor.

I think the Clippers will eventually get their act together and win this series, although losing game one at home almost certainly means this will be a long series, likely to go 6 if not 7.

Like I've said many times in the past, the reason I've been skeptical of the clippers all season is because their offense is overly reliant on elite, outlier three-point shooting. No way that they're going to continue to shoot 40% from three throughout the playoffs. Their offense looks like crap when they're not shooting well from three. They can't score on the post and they can't penetrate and draw fouls.

Which is exactly why Until the Clippers get a bonafide starting Big who can command constant double teams, they won't get past the top teams in the West.

It's not like they got Kyrie, Harden, and KD who can get away with playing Jordan and Blake at the 5.

The Clips think they good to go with Zubac and Ibaka and we all know they not the goods cause Today's NBA is now all about the Bigs not the threes.

The reason the signed Boogie is cause they know the bigs they got ain't cuttin it.

imagine thinking cousins in 2021 is the answer.

You need your role players to make 3s and the clippers guys didn’t do that. Mavs role players made shots. Kawhi commanded the double. Luka did too. That’s all you needed.

 

[lamekilla]

Clippers in 6. This is a business man

 

[Coupé It]

 

[trynafeelmink]

The Clippers have way more problems than just the role players not shooting threes.

They had the same issues last year & got exposed & it's going to happen again unless Rondo has a repeat of last years run.

There team is built around two Superstars who are slightly above average playmakers at best & a bunch of one dimensional role guys. there entire gameplan is built upon unsustainable shooting. IDK how many times we have to watch these kinda teams flame out before we recognize the trend.

Clippers should still beat the Mavs off pure talent alone, but they're mediocre defensively & are gonna struggle against elite defenses.

Time for Boston to take game 1
