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

You can't fault KD for missing that game winner after everything he did to carry the team. But if he made it we mighta had to crown him the new goat off top

Man had nothing left. Shoudda just done a pullup 3, mightve less effort than creating space by bodying Jrue.

 

[picasso swerve]

On another note, with KD passing it to Harden for him to pass it back right away, idk if Harden was thinking its KD time and he wants it so just give it back. Idk if he was thinking “man this dude tired af lemme do something”.

i know hindsight is 20/20

BUT (lol)

after playing the entire game (53 mins) & cuming down from defense, you going end up with a post up fadeaway from da 3 for da GW? fadeaway from da 3? word? yes, i know jrue is like 20 inches shorter than durant & durant is durant but goddamn.

Feel like dudes would be killing Harden for taking the last shot on a bum leg instead of KD who was scorching.

I know Harden hurt his hammy and we all saw he had no acceleration or lift but at that point he could've gotten a better shot than a contested turnaround fadeaway 3, even if the last one did go in for KD

Even if they won last night, I don’t see Brooklyn fully healthy come ECF or even Finals time. No way KD could drag this team to a title with all of their injuries.

We got parody in the NBA now. This really might be Giannis’ year.

He want revenge against Kawhi. Imagine CP3 or Giannis winning it finally.

But I’m a Kawhi fan so, my allegiance is with the clips

Parity. The word is parity.

I think harden not taking the last shot had more to do with his injury than his confidence..im 100% confident if he was healthy he would have taken the shot

 

[WASHED KING]

See no lies in this story or the slander would be going all offseason had it been Bron. Nets really need to think on Kyrie, he got some sort of random injury every year almost now

You’re right. But at the end of the day people hold Lebron to a higher standard than any other player in NBA history. I guess thats what happens when you’re the

What they hoped the Final 4 would look like:
Lakers vs Clippers, Nets vs Sixers

What we may end up getting instead lol
Suns vs Clippers, Hawks vs Bucks

And what if Trae Young outplays everybody the rest of the way and wins it all it would be the most improbable championship run of All Time imo

 

[ace]

Harden had a grade 2 hamstring strain and he’s getting slandered? Ruthless

If he didn’t play everyone would have called him weak for sitting out with the season on the line. It’s a lose lose for him.

Im for it.

If hawks win giannis might put up wilt numbers

 

[ballinsam23]

Lebrons East was considered the weakest East ever.

He never had to go through any team with players of Embiid or Giannis type caliber in their prime.

Trae’s coming with the fire, we just need Bogdanovic and Lou Will to show up.

David Stern will be rolling over in his grave if the Hawks pull it off later

I don't see anyone calling Kyrie weak for being hurt and he doesn't have someone like AD's injury history either.

Not to mention that stars have been going down more often than ever this postseason so I really doubt he would've gotten much heat if he couldn't/didn't play the last round

Perfectly said

Anthony Davis has played a higher percentage of his career games than Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie has literally been injured consistently since college.
