OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[lovehateself]

Regular season match ups are not indicative of how the series will play out
Both games came before Miami made changes to their team

still tho
lakers in 5

[jab step]

Kuzma Vs. Herro, while the IG girl is in the stands. Oh my.

 

[freeze]

If you have the more talented team and still lose rather embarrassingly who should that fall on?

Players. Players have to play to their talent. Can't just be talented on chill mode.

 

[lawdog1]

If the Lakers finish this off, really going to be the ultimate post-season for some (I repeat, just some) Lakers fans, with both the Clippers and Celtics getting eliminated in embarrassing fashion.

No confetti for the eastern conference champs?

League rigged!

they saving it for the finals

heat in 6

 

[noblekane]

Hell, they don’t play for like three weeks....

i thought the finals is this wed?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Celtics don’t need to blow it up but everyone needs to get better from Brad on down. That 4th quarter was trash.

 

[QU!K]

Expect Boston to win the next one but Heat to close in 6

 

[art vandelay]

i thought the finals is this wed?

Three weeks/this Wed, same same.

 

[BRONBROW2020]

[aepps20]

Happy for Jimmy

I'm not

Nah, Canter, Theis, Semi, Gordon, have to go.

 

[617collector]

This might be the best Playoff run for a team since Mavs in 2011.

Mavs 2011
Blazers, Lakers, OKC, Heat

Miami 2020
Pacers, Bucks, Celtics, Lakers

 

[addict4sneakers]

Nah, Canter, Theis, Semi, Gordon, have to go.

Gordon is a FA right? I’m not counting those other guys. That core 4 took turns taking awful shots and Brad sat on his thumbs.

 

[art vandelay]

I’m still not convinced that Kemba was 100% maybe I jumped to conclusions because he was easier to deal
with than Mikey from Waltham, but he stunk this entire playoffs.

 

[noblekane]

Not sure if he's talking about kobe or devin lol

Kobe only took 46 shots. 81 pts on 46 shots.

Maybe Pat dementia was acting up.

that was right after kobe 81 point game. booker wasnt in the nba yet.

 

[QU!K]

Imagine paying Kemba Walker $37m

 

[trynafeelmink]

I got the Lakers in 6 vs the Heat. I'm always weary of going up against capable teams with coaches who coached your star player. Spolestra knows Brons game in & out.

With that said i love our matchups defensively against them, the one thing that has hurt the Lakers defense the most were explosive scorers who could do everything well. Miami is more team oriented as far as scoring & i think our team defense is elite.

Also that zone could give us problems, but having LBJ & Rondo on the court..... good luck thinking they won't effectively figure that out. Also AD & Dwight fighting for o boards with Duncan Robinson & Crowder under the rim

There’s talent there. But I feel like Kemba should’ve been running the show towards the end even with his defense. Tatum is the goods but his moves are so predictable

even if GH doesn’t pick up his option, Boston gonna be in salary hell after next season

[lawdog1]

I have a lot of respect for Daniel Theis because he plays hard and gets the most out of his abilities, but this game really changed during his minutes in the 4th quarter when Bam looked at him and saw -

On like 4 straight plays.

 

[MVP]

Celtics are going to end up like OKC early 2010s

 

[ahat]

Lakers in 6
