2021 NBA playoffs discussion thread

I am very happy to see there's a Sixer fan here to talk to about this series. You guys are crazy fans in Philly. In 2010 I went to Philly to watch my Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup and the fans were insane. I wore my Patrick Kane jersey , but brought a jacket to wear over it when i went to the bathroom. I'm an idiot, but not that much of an idiot.
If it were the Penguins, you wouldn’t have made it out alive, ha. Remember that series well. I still don’t think I’ve seen that Cup winner go in. Guys were skating and then all of a sudden guys were celebrating. Flyers are a black hole, wrapped in an enigma. Don’t get me started ha.
 
I don't want to mention Embiid cause if he's playing then this discussion is over and I'm just hoping we can steal a game or two and be competitive for the rest of them.
Regardless of how this goes, Hawks fans have much to be excited about going forward. I think they’re one piece away and like I said maybe after a summer or two DeAndre Hunter is that guy.

you should be mad at Cal then cause that's his loss and a pretty big one at that. If you had Trae on that team with SGA and PJ Washington you'd be celebrating another title in Lexington.

Don't get mad at Trae for knowing and understanding his worth at a young age.
We probably would have choked. You gonna bet me or not? Take Traes cock out of your mouth and put your avatar there.
 
Trae is hella good, but he needs to work on his fg %. It’s not bad, but it could be improved. Especially if you wanna start talking about being an all star.
 
A player that had a really good season statistically, as well as hardly having any turnovers, would be Terry Rozier. Dude had a hell of a year. I’d love to see him on the lakers. They need his 3 point shooting. Trade Matthews and Caruso for him. Though he’d probably take a pay cut, bc he signed that 4 year 58 million dollar deal.
 
Some of the disregarding of Atlanta going on here is weird. No way Sixers could win in 5 if Embiid didn’t play at all. No way.

Atlanta is still a year or two away from being a true contender, but this ain’t the Wizards. This is a legitimate squad that can easily take two games.

Caruso is about to get paid.
 
Time to blow things up in Portland. Keep RoCo and give Powell one more year but they HAVE to get some more help defensively. Dame, like steph and Trae and many other smallish guards is not an elite defender. Need to surround him with 4 above average defenders, including one elite guy, and need to get a second playmaker.

Denver just won in 6 playing Austin rivers and some 5’11 Italian guy at point guard. Stotts has gotta go for sure.
 
Avatar bet on the Sixers vs Hawks series. Let’s say it lasts until the start of the season. Not bad at all

Only if Embiid doesn't play. If Embiid plays we'll be lucky to win 2 games so not taking the bet in that scenario.
 
Me and Jimbo had an avatar bet that I lost but for some reason I still have it 🥸
I wore a Grayson Allen avatar for an off season with a bet from @bignish

@AuHoosier420 is still wearing a teapot I gave him. Although he doesn't have to sing "i'm a little teapot" anymore when replying to me.

I let @ExitFlagger out of a year long one after about a month with a snarky img of Calipari.

Def rooting for the Bucks over the Nets.
I think the Bucks are built together better to be a real team. You can’t question Nets talent though. Nets would have benefited from more time on the court together.

Also a hot take: Nets would have been better off keeping LaVert and Jarrett Allen with KD and Kyrie than dealing for Harden. They’d be a deeper and more well rounded team. The Big 3 have been scoring like 70% of their points. That’s very top heavy and the familiarity of playoffs vs a good defensive team can mitigate some of that. And on the other side, the Nets can’t defend. I don’t only think the Bucks will win, I think they do it in shocking fashion in 5 games.

Disagree strongly. Harden is what makes the Nets go
 
I have no rooting interest in the Nets and loathe Kyrie, but they are really fun to watch. I wouldn’t mind a Dallas vs Brooklyn finals.

Yo! Why didn’t you tell me there was NBA stuff going on here? Also, these guys are the best in the world. I would think that if Harden wasn’t there you’d see a lot of LaVert Allen KD Kyrie Joe Harris to close. Allen gives you a level of rim protection you don’t have now. And I still think they can score 125-130 for a series with that group. I will agree with your statement that the way they’re running the show Harden is the straw that stirs the drink.

Where to for the Blazers now? I hope Dame stays. The guy who stays loyal and wants to be a part of a city forever is rare these days. He’s so fun to watch.
 
Dallas is the better team imo. On paper you wouldn’t think so, but the Clippers play so weird together.
 
PG13 been really loose with the ball and I feel like is a turnover waiting to happen. I feel like Kawhi would be better with this Clippers team without him, adding a different piece. Not hating on PG really but I just don’t see it with this team.

sidenote: Kawhi never gets calls lol..

Brooky is still rocking the Hamilton avatar I gave him in a bet like 2.5 years ago lol.

Love a good avatar bet.
 
It always seems like Dallas is in control of the game regardless if the clipps are ahead.
