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

[friscostylez]

This is really a “depends who you ask” issue.
There’s a pretty clear pattern developing as to who is enjoying these playoffs and who isn’t.

I’m having fun and think the Clippers will be done soon. Suns are a great story. Excited to see if they can keep going the way they are.Nets are interesting for a lot of reasons.

Can’t expect every game in every series to be super competitive. Never has been, never will be.

the Lakers vs GSW play-in game was more exciting than this entire playoffs

Like 70% of games haven't been competitive and there's probably been close to a dozen guys out with injuries. Doesn't matter who you ask

Post proves my point exactly, including the people who liked it.

Suns-Lakers was a fantastic series. Amazing to watch.

So was the Hawks-Knicks series.

 

[MVP]

We had one classic game that Dame 55 burger against DEN so far.

Suns-Lakers was a fantastic series. Amazing to watch.

Hawks-Knicks was a letdown after G2

 

[nick.]

So was the Hawks-Knicks series.

How so? Game 1 was great, game 2 was fluky, then 3-5 were non competitive.

I guess that's a good series to you?

 

[Tony $now]

I mean yes in a vacuum but you are misunderstanding their point.
it's not a vacuum, teams are trying to prevent you from getting open 3's or layups.

the ability to shoot a midrange jumper at like 46-50% against a set defense it very valuable because it increases the places you have to defend.


the nuggets decided to play drop coverage to prevent 3's or layups., conceding the mid range....and CP3 made like 4 in a row to end the game.

there is no math that says that's bad.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

5/8 series in the first round were done in 5 games or less. All phx/den games have been blowouts and 2/3 games in phi/atl and bk/mil have been blowouts. What's not to love?

 

[lawdog1]

There’s people on here who are just as much fans of the game as they are of specific teams or players. There’s others who are much more invested in their favorite teams or players. Not saying one way to approach being a basketball fan is better than the other, but the people in the second group seem to say the playoffs are trash once their team/guy is out (or doesn’t make it at all).

 

[MVP]

There just hasn't been competitive basketball being played for the majority of these playoffs period.

Yeah a ton of blowouts but some individual performances (some of the blowouts were entertaining)

Game 6 Booker
Trae infuriating the Knicks and their fanbase
Bucks dragging the Heat (because I didn't expect it)
Bron not getting back on defense
Mitchell
Luka/Clippers
Watching aepps20 enjoy all this teams win/lose but still win

Playoffs could be better for sure but there's been some fun moments. Still hoping Bucks/Nets turn around doe

have there been good moments in the playoffs this year? of course, i don't think anybody is denying that


BUT what I & many others feel is that the this year's playoffs isn't exciting due to the lack of competitive games

 

[IATT]

There just hasn't been competitive basketball being played for the majority of these playoffs period.

to me, this is easily better than when it was a foregone conclusion the warriors would win the title unless they had multiple injuries

but the NBA needs some changes but I’m not sure how that happens.. The players deserve power and no one is going give up the money generated from regular season and playoff games to cut em

That’s fair. And I’m definitely not saying these playoffs have been great compared to other years. But still enjoyable enough.

 

[ballinsam23]

Excited for the Jazz Suns series. Should be a good one.

 

[IATT]

That’s fair. And I’m definitely not saying these playoffs have been great compared to other years. But still enjoyable enough.

what other years though?

I mean obviously there have been great/entertaining years , dirk‘s championship, warriors first championship, bron in Cleveland.. but I think nba gotta make changes, but I’m not sure how any of it happens exactly

To feel the pain of loss yet the excitement of a win in the same game is amazing. I have an AMAZING LIFE as a fan.

This is some of the worst playoffs in long time.

lol mf like 5'7 with a lil man reach...swung & missed trying to hit someone who prob 6'4+

 

[clyde the glide]

Sure some closer games would be nice but i like how all the stars are getting eliminated. Basketball still a team sport. Dame and CJ couldnt beat an Italian and doc's son. Curry couldn't beat the Grizzlies one game. Mavs just trying to boost one guys stats while the rest of the team just waits for their turn to shoot. Giannis and Randle don't wanna play like they're the strongest on the court. Lebron doesn't compete as usual. Kawhi gonna lose to shooters cause he wants to keep switching. Just praying someone kos the nets.
