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

[antidope]

Rtare hat you see an equal amount of praise for the winners and slander for the losers like this.

Coach Bud really gonna lose his job because he refused to change ONE thing.

 

[pmatic]

I fell asleep during the fourth quarter.

KD is too quick for Giannis to guard. He gets him moving side to side, then blows past him or fires a jumper over him.

 

[theregothatman]

The Warriors won a championship and had the greatest regular season ever before Durant got there! Do we really need to have this conversation again?

So you gone act like the Cavs number 2 and 3 players being out don’t matter. Not all rings won are equal…especially when the same team is the only team to blow a 3-1 lead in the finals. It’s funny how that part always gets left out.

 

[theregothatman]

Jrue was supposed to be the over the top move and his numbers are damn near identical to Bledsoe right now.

They should’ve got CP3. They needed help scoring not defense.

They need veteran leadership. Giannis is still a baby and isn’t being developed properly. This is what a bad organization looks like with the talent to win a championship. Is Larry Brown still available to coach??

I’ve said this before - I can’t see the future so I can’t say who would win if Cavs were healthy but I personally think the Warriors were the better team and would have won. We’ll never know, though.

You also conveniently left off the chain of events that led to the Cavs coming back from down 3-1z NT is predictable but funny .

 

[freeze]

nahhh

Left is how young daughters hug their dad's when mom tries to hug him..

Right is how Duke frat dudes make sure the girls get to their rooms safely after the party..

Playoffs are all about adjustments.
Nash had KD go for 49 and jeff green shoot 80% from 3.

DPOY of the year chilling in the corner.
SMH!

 

[storm2006]

DPOY of the year chilling in the corner.
SMH!

Goober has to be pleased that the focus of DPOY slander is off of him and onto Giannis now

 

[freeze]

So God Tier is really just Chef and Slim now?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Luca dont sign, look at giannis who is now stuck at least 2 more seasons there.

Luca needs to play out season see where they are at….then do it again if you don’t like roster year from now…..become the one of the biggest sports free agents ever in 2 years.


Did KD really play 48 mins or was that box score error?!!

Yall created this culture.

This, "You have to win by yourself for it to count" culture.

Yall did it to Kobe. (Yall told him he Couldn't win without Shaq (Which he ended up doing))
Yall did it to Bron.
Yall did it to KD.
Yall shamed folks for it so much that Dame, Probably Luka, and now Greek the Freek are SCARED to leave so they won't have that label of "teaming up."
They'd rather stay "alone and lose in honor." (As if yall even give them credit for THAT)

Yall don't know what yall want from Star players.

So yea, I blame the, "Rings or NOthing" culture.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I NEVER wanna here Giannis > AD again. Dude does Nothing on the basketball court better than him besides sprint. What the **** is the use of having a DPOY who never steps up to guard the best players.

What about Dame vs. AD?

 

[atlsfinest]

So God Tier is really just Chef and Slim now?

'God Tier' Chef couldn't lead his team to the playoffs...interesting. Couldn't beat the Memphis Grizzlies at home to get that 8 seed. That's 'God Tier?'

 

[Zo gif]

Steph was holding KD back. Dude about to win a title on his own and steph cant make the playoffs. But the narratives have steph first team ALL NBA. SMH!

 

[atlsfinest]

KD has literally played 1.5 games 'on his own' this post-season. Relax. KD is that dude but please put your shirt back on.

 

[shotsrangout]

Confused I thought a certain always made his teammates better?


Jeff must have really stepped his game up since leaving Cavs.

A rare outlier game from jeff green means that lebron wasn’t able to make his teammates better. ok

he literally had an identical season in Cleveland too

Playoffs are a team achievement…Steph made 1st Team All NBA so I think it’s probably worth considering who he was playing with. I hate doing THIS but you’re taking it there…swap him with Dame this past season and see what happens. I’m just saying.

I don’t think it’s about culture, Luka needs to resign because he’ll make the most money sticking with the same team for now.

plus the mavs are good enough management wise to potentially become a contender. So if I’m young and in that situation, I’ll take the money. If I’m a few years it doesn’t work out, I’ll bounce.

If you swap the Steph Curry and Damian Lillard the Warriors would be in the same position there in... missing the playoffs .

You are right about the $.

Got you. I took it as you saying those two should join forces somewhere else.

My fault.
