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

[Cashflow]

Disney this, bubble that…

 

[tramericanjr]

Nope,it only looks funny in the light for fans of the teams that didn’t win .

Sort of like fans of teams that claim injury was the reason they team ain’t win , but they negate the injuries of the other team that was in their favor ....

 

[atlsfinest]

I wonder if Kyle Lowry could have swung this series for the Lakers

Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered if AD got injured. He would have certainly been an upgrade over Schroeder but in the end, we still wouldn't have won this series so it's a mood point.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Drummond gonna re-sign with Detroit, get back to playing 34 min a night averaging 18 and 14 while being on a last place team and be 100% satisfied with it

 

[atlsfinest]

We want a championship 7 months ago and we're fans of the winningest franchise in the history of the sport. If you're going to slander us, you're going to need to put in more effort

 

[tramericanjr]

Kinda facts. Embiid being hurt ruins this more than the Lakers losing for me. The journey to the finals is looking like it’ll be better than than the actual finals.

Teams have to win ... let the journey play out ....

 

[tramericanjr]

Our second best player, one of the 10 best players in the league, got injured midway through the series. It's not brain surgery why we lost.

The Lakers had the best record in the West by a mile last season, it's not like they came out of nowhere and won the championship last season lol

So only when your team gets injured it matters ... when Miami heat had injured players in the finals did that matter ?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not to mention the same exact thing he complains about happened last year with LAL vs Miami

Plus that happens... Finals can be anti climactic compared to the rest of the Playoffs... it's nothing new

Man's an all time world class level front runner. When he's up, he's dancing, blowing kisses, clowning around on the floor, making faces and poppin ****. When he's down big, this is his go-to response every time. Especially in these later years. Just a grumpy 'old' man

Rondo was good for Bron last year. He respected rondo and rondo held him accountable. He used to get on Bron about his body language when dudes not as talented as him made mistakes. I think it helped morale a lot. Bronson has gone full '**** these ****** mayne' mode now.

When did I say this?

 

[jballer20]

Rob really tried to shove new pieces into a championship team
You always run the same team back or replace 1 guy, not 3 (Rondo, Dwight, Danny)
Covid restrictions hurt them too because they couldn’t practice or were limited due to California? Was that true if so then lol wtf

Focusing on Drummond was just mind blowing to me and I’m really surprised he got benched tonight, Vogul trying to save his job

Drummond, Dennis gone
Melo probably comes because he’d have been huge in this series
Kuzma, THT should be packaged and gone

Injuries and context only matter when they happen to the Lakers. Otherwise...you know what? nm

I’m not even saying that. We literally just had 30 or 40 pages doing what I discussed so it was relevant. Of course injuries and context matter. Look at right now with Embiid for example or Murray and to a lesser extent Conley. If the thread has the same of energy for those teams or any other teams I will address the same ridiculousness then but those guys or their teams weren’t the talk of the evening.

Just because I am applying principles to one team in a single post, doesn’t mean I don’t think they aren’t applicable to the other 29, man. Y’all gotta relax

Playoffs def gonna be boring now with No Lebby, Dame, or Curry

Curry ain’t been in the playoffs in 2 years

dame ain’t been out the first round in 2 years

 

[ShoeGameBoss]

Schroeder way too old to have that blonde patch in his hair. Save that style for the kids:

 

[tay1]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Curry ain’t been in the playoffs in 2 years

dame ain’t been out the first round in 2 years

Casuals gonna casual

 

[TrafficLightBully]

got to get it before he retire after this *** whipping

 

[immaculate1]

Good job. Good effort.

This thread and others/nba Twitter will never have the same energy for the nuggets or the jazz. Come on now, they're the nuggets and jazz.

These are the mighty Lakers...purple and gold, banners. magic, Kareem, kobe etc etc.

I won't include you, because apparently, you're the exception. But, other Lakers fans have had the same slander for other fan bases when they lose...without noting context or injuries...which is my point.

Only difference is, Lakers fans aren't amused with the slander for some strange reason. (Another hypocrisy)

 

[sohi 23]

Damn this really the best y’all got

Yeah, the slander and jokes are cool but when having a serious discussion, you have to be pragmatic and include context. And I mean that for all 30 teams.

One that comes to mind that I can’t completely remember but wasn’t it like the 2015 Dubs that played a team missing a pivotal player in every series em route to a championship And that’s not to say they wouldn’t have won anyway but it’s just something where they could have lucked out on in the end.

 

[sohi 23]

Booker took that leap and Denver plays no defense but I’m kind of leaning towards Denver to advance.

Jokic is going to put in Ayton in hell. I’m not sure if he got hurt or what but he was kinda invisible in the last game.

Is Barton coming back soon?
