OT: 2021 NBA Playoffs

[BigErnMcCracken]

I kinda liked the idea I heard where the stadium/team is responsible for projectiles hitting players from fans and/or racist remarks; also automatic lifetime ban from the venue

I like Barkley's idea. Once a game they get to go into the stands and beat the brakes off a fan.

Love it in theory

How great would it have been if the people around these jackasses threw them onto the court, literally like the moron at the zoo falling in the lion pit they think they’re safe from. The real issue with players in the stands is liability of other fans jumping in; but if the fan is singled out and thrown onto the court…

what’s most clear is that people need to start being made into examples

Glad that Knicks fan was banned for life from the Garden. That is just nasty! Dislike Trae as much you like, but thats going too far.

I'm still concerned for my Knicks. Randle is completely out of his element out there. I have to wonder if the large crowd and the pressure of the playoffs is just too much for him. If he can get over it the Knicks stand a chance, if not, I'm not so sure.

I guess Marcus Smart is only saying this so Celtic fans won't boo the Celtics...

The Knicks could use a good guard who can get inside the 3 point line and hit shots.

Phx/LAL series looks done, I really don't see who beats them in the West. A shame the Nuggets lost Murray, the Nuggets with healthy guards would have been their stiffest test.

Nuggets at full strength with Jokic, playoff Murray, and Michael Porter Jr. would've really tested them but it's going to be what we all thought since day 1 of the season. Lakers vs. Nets.

 

[Scoe]

Lakers are the only team that can beat the Nets.

 

[Travelman6]

Wait who is the 7 seed and who is the 2 out west?

...Because the Suns aren't playing like the 2...

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Lakers are the only team that can beat the Nets.

The Suns and Celtics are both playing without their best players. Chris Paul is a shell of what he was before his shoulder injury and Jaylen Brown's season is over. I don't think the Lakers or Nets would look quite so dominant if they were playing against healthy teams in the first round.

'It is what it is': Playoff injuries haunt Chris Paul vs. Lakers

With the Suns down 2-1 and CP3 hurting again, the future Hall of Famer is staring at another painful postseason.

Crowder useless and CP3 a non scoring threat, Booker and the Suns have no chance going up against this. Monty is gonna have to make some adjustments.

That's wild. Just completely abandoning CP3.

Getting defended like he's Draymond, crazy that he came out and blamed the refs after last night's game

 

[husky429]

That's wild. Just completely abandoning CP3.

That mid-range wing area is usually his scoring spot too. Gotta earn tough defense though--he clearly hasn't.

Paul's shoulder injury has basically ended his season. The Lakers would completely suck if Lebron got hurt, and the Suns were more dependent on Paul. Series is over.

Lakers have gotten insanely lucky on opponents' injuries their last two playoff series, with Dragic and Adebayo both hurt for the NBA Finals that still went 6 games despite the Heat basically not having their 2nd and 3rd best players. Jokic should watch where he steps, because given the Lakers' luck, he will sprain an ankle before Game 1 of the next round.

Sure the Suns and Celtics would win a participation trophy against those teams if both are at full strength.

East sucks forever. Lebron goes West and now (due to injuries) the top of the conference stinks. And really even without injuries is much weaker than it’s been in years. Philly, Brooklyn, and Milwuakee are all way better than anyone out west besides maybe Utah (whose best player also just came back after missing a month). Another waltz in the park to the finals for the self proclaimed GOAT.

Get off my balls bro. You reply with the same dumb to every one of my posts. It’s freakin weird. And your schtick is old. Unoriginal. And unintelligent. You add absolutely nothing to any thread. Go away.

Cheer up, Skip

Good to see Thibs come to his senses and starting Rose.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

That Randle three will open the flood gates.

you are the one anointing the Nets off a win over the Celtics team who have injury issues with their top 3 players.

I’m not you honestly think this Celtics team fully healthy can beat the Nets with their 3 superstars can beat this team in a best of 7 series your out of your mind. The Celtics would have to be clicking on all cylinders and the Nets would have to self implode. It would have to align perfectly for the Celtics and self destruct for the Nets let’s be real.
