who do you think Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Too bad the Mavericks couldn't come through. I guess I can live with one of the two soulless LA pickup teams being knocked out after round one though. What a bland finals Nets-Clippers would be though. Even if the franchises themselves haven't been there, all the relevant players on both teams are been-there-done-thats shuffled around and redistributed like some 2K franchise mode gone wrong. At least LeBron would have had the 5th ring angle. And lord help me if/when they play a game in LA with the Clippers in the black San Andreas uniforms and the Nets in their home whites. Basketball dystopia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 This is as open as the NBA playoffs have been in a while and it's wonderful. As much as everyone loves dynasties and they give people reasons to watch, I like this better. I usually have a rooting interest - for the Grizzlies (rarely there), for Lebron (often there), against James Harden (sometimes there?) - but not really having that in the second round is great. I guess I'm somewhat rooting against the Nets, but I like Kevin Durant enough that I wouldn't be disappointed by it.

Dynasty Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think fully healthy, the Nets are by far the best team left. Jesus Milwaukee... Count me in as being glad of having a franchise win it's first title ever or in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I really thought this was the year Milwaukee would change and move past its playoff flaws, but nope. Same collapse as the past few seasons, Coach Bud is likely packing after this series. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Nets defense has been better in the playoffs but not THAT much better; a team like the Bucks should have no trouble breaking 100 on them. If Tatum and a bunch of G-Leaguers were at least competitive half the time in the last series, how do the Bucks look worse?

The smartest thing the Raptors did was not resign Kawhi (I know they didn't have a choice). They were able to escape "ugh, this team again?" fatigue because they were one and done. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who do you think Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The Raptors at least were building something, they just hit a dead end with DeRozan as their best guy. They didn't just slap a pickup team together that's going to be dismantled in three years or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 The Nets are the Florida/Miami Marlins of the NBA. They have no earned fanbase or history so they just go for whatever. I really thought the Bucks would show up differently; this has been sad to watch. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 There’s something oddly encouraging about the Jazz missing 20 straight shots in the first half, and still winning by 3. It was ugly, but I’ll take it! Not trying to get ahead of myself, but getting up 1-0 without Conley and (hopefully) getting the ugly game out of the way against a very talented team is something I feel good about.

If it's against the Clippers you've got the whole world on your side. Would have been nice to see them keep it in the 7-10 point range they had heading into the last minute, but a win is a win. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Why is every other playoff game a blowout? 9 times out of 10 when I tune in to a game in the third quarter, one team is up 15-20 points already. And (for the most part) these teams are alternating bad losses. Atlanta can smoke Philly for most of the game in Philadelphia, but they get manhandled at home.
