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

[getback]

Actually you would be wrong …. Most nba finals end around June 20th …… and the training camp starts around September 20th or a few days later …… that’s 90-95 or so days ….. 3 months

Right because training camp and live games are very similar.

 

[WASHED KING]

And you guys know the drill.

Only way people would give this season an asterisk is if Lebron and the lakers won

Yup but now it's "InJuRies aRe aPaRt oF tHe GaMe"

Dang. Sounds like Chris Paul is on that Dennis Shroeder stuff. 2 weeks from today is June 30th which would likely put Chris Paul's return around game 3-4 of the WCF

CP0 is cursed

Time for Playoff P to earn that contract

 

[earldagoat]

CP3 must've opted to go w/ that J&J single shot

 

[ill steelo]

What a very disappointing morning after that amazing performance.

KD answered all the doubters (me included) today.

Kobe & Pau Lakers - Champs
Dirk Mavs - Champs
LeBron Heat - Champs
Grit grind Grizzlies - No Westbrook
Duncan Spurs - Champs
Golden State

Are the teams that eliminated the Thunder before he left. Who exactly do you think Kevin Durant is? What was there to doubt?

NBA Lebron was greedy AF making the players play last year, and then having them bang out a condensed season this year. Look at the effect it's had on the players.

If you can remember, the majority of the players held a meeting and lobbied for cancelling the bubble in the wake of the political unrest that was going on. Lebron was the primary person saying that they should continue. I believe Kawhi was too but I know Kawhi can only say like 6 words so we blaming Lebron.

 

[MVP]

Trying to make everything about them ….

But wasn't it was cool when the Lakers were suffering from stars getting injured and the resulting aftermath though?

 

[tay1]

If the league is intent on starting the league in October, they should probably lighten the schedule to 60 games over the normal amount of time. But they won't, because money.

I’d rather the season be 60-ish games in general.

I thought Lebron said we should cancel it? That’s the report that came out if i remember correctly. Clippers were down to leave too but all the other teams wanted to continue.

The play of the bubble was definitely better with the fresh legs.
These playoffs have been trash.

Lakers and Clippers said they were fine with canceling the bubble when Jacob Blake got shot. Then they walked out of the meeting.

 

[WASHED KING]

Rudy Goober going to rub all over the Larry O Brien trophy like he did to those mics last year.

 

[spacedoodoo]

Damn maybe I'm wrong about the bubble stuff? I thought it was Kyrie and the Bucks who were saying they wanted to cancel the bubble but the Lebron and Kawhi were the ones saying no.

 

[lamekilla]

Remember throughout the season when Lakers fans told you that the shortened off-season and the condensed schedule was leading to injuries?

A lot of you guys said that Lakers fans were just whining and complaining ("your stars were old and brittle anyway, no excuses").

Well, here's what you get. Now basically every remaining contender is dealing with a major injury

Why you talking bout the Lakers in the 2021 playoff thread B

welp play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

if he really chose not to get vaccinated no one should feel bad for him.

 

[B Sox]

Imagine thinking AD and Khris Middleton would go to the finals

 

[Mark Antony]

Actually I don't trust CP3, he's head of the NBAPA and knows the rules and timing so this could be a setup for rest.

 

[Coupé It]

Laker fans extra active this morning

Interesting

What’s even worse is it’s the East Coast Laker fans

To be clear I’m not sure about his vaccine status. He could just be speaking as president of the NBPA

In the bubble everyone was on an even playing field. No travel so that cut out excuses and the whole “home court advantage” belief was scrapped. The NBA without fans wasn’t too bad. It was actually soccer that was weird af.
