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

[atlsfinest]

All I’m think if I’m the nets is “is this series win worth it?” because they ain’t going to stay healthy to get any further. You could be risking a lot just to get bounced either way

Their next opponent isn't better than Milwaukee and there's a good chance they're getting Kyrie back if they advance to the next round.

harden and KD not good enough to beat LAC or PHX?

 

[HNL HI]

Joe Harris can't even sleep at night

 

[Upptempo]

Reggie Miller's advice isn't looking so bad right now

But if they rested Harden and KD the Bucks would've been up 30 at the half and just rest Giannis and Middleton so that would've basically been a push.

i don't see miller's suggestion holding any real weight. you don't take crazy chances like that when you have an opportunity to close out. if you lose both games 6 and 7, then there's a whole bunch of "should've played your starters" all off-season.

Idk what ppl expect Nash to do when Kai right there

Or was he coaching via Zoom?

 

[drewsone]

reggie miller is an idiot

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Giannis deserves some credit for not tryna be a shooter and passing up 3s as well as passing out of a bunch of ugly attempts

 

[thekillerj23]

Bucks surprised me with a game 7, even with Harden Notoriously failing in numerous game 7’s, I expect Nets to pull it out

God is good

My old manager when I worked retail looked like Joe Harris (for real) and his name was also Joe, and thats who probably played tonight.

Depends on the versions we get honestly. It’s all up in the air as of now. As currently constructed I can see atl at least give them a run for their money further pushing their health

Yeah. You play to win now. Period

My man really suggested intentionally losing the series That has to be a first

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Reggie Miller is like the old testament. You're not really supposed to take him literally

I was confused at first but agree with the approach.

 

[art vandelay]

Harden didn’t even shoot bad, just not enough. Also, if Harris can get a few to fall early, it’ll be good for his confidence later in the game

 

[lamekilla]

Still don’t like Middleton being Bucks leading scorer this game. Bucks lose a heartbreaking game 7

 

[Upptempo]

ESPN really said Giannis and Middleton are the first duo to have multiple 30/10 games in a series since Kobe and Shaq like they're in the same universe as those 2

 

[servechilled81]

that off season thread is like a damn gnat. I keep swatting it away after confusing it with this one.

 

[aepps20]

I don't see a difference and I'm a Huge Lakers fan and Officer Snack is a legend. All 4 guys backed the blue and Stood down when BLM stood down.

When ESPN puts out stats like this they're just pointing out interesting parallels, not necessarily comparing them

For example, I don't think ESPN is comparing Trey Young to Oscar Robertson when they put out this stat

That pose never not funny

Side note, those MLK jerseys are fire.
