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

[dman14]

i think turner will get a good look. he was one of those guys that played in 2019 world cup when all the stars declined.
i'd like to see the rest of those guys from 2019 get a strong consideration (mitchell, tatum, brown)

 

[rolaholic]

Don't think that decision is anywhere nears KD's hands though

 

[picasso swerve]

Canada gotta nice squad too, even better if Murray was healthy

I dont even think Canada is ranked which is nuts considering they have the most NBA players outside of the US.

 

[atlsfinest]

When did Kevin Durant become a doctor? Completely different injury plus we don't know the specifics of Harden's situation.

Should James Harden go out there if he doesn't feel up to it and that the doctors don't clear him? Of course not but regardless it has nothing to do with Kevin Durant.

Jared Allen for a Team USA big?

Think Mitchell/Tatum/Brown are going to be locks unless they decline.

Canada could really have a squad if everybody played. They'd be even better if Jamal Murray weren't hurt.

Guards: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dillon Brooks, Luguentz Dort, Cory Joseph

Forwards: R.J. Barrett, Oshae Brissett, Melvin Ejim, Andrew Wiggins

Bigs: Khem Birch, Kelly Olynyk, Dwight Powell, Tristan Thompson

 

[B Sox]

What other countries do have elite Oly squads? The typical Spain, Argentina, Serbia, Lithuania, Australia, France?

Serbia has a squad with Jokic, Bogdan and Bojan.

Slovenia has Luka and the Dragic bros. Young upstart Anthony Randolph too.

2-0 apparently means nothing now

 

[Zo gif]

You tell me.

Sneaky athletic bunch
That can get you an honest triple double

 

[atlsfinest]

jazz made 17/42 threes
donovan got his buckets, but he really had to work for them. not very efficient shooting

clips just built a huge early lead and never went on a drought. jazz picked it up in the second half, which may carryover
hopefully, kawhi is healthy and won't be bothered by the knee injury

It'll be tough for the jazz to win If my Conley doesn't return. Effectively the clippers can just send a hard double at Donovan Mitchell (who's already hobbled) to get the ball out of his hands and force the rest of Utah's players to beat them (which they're not doing).

The addition of Conley gives Utah another elite ball handler, creator and pick and roll threat. If Mike Conley doesn't return, Utah's only path to victory is shooting the lights out at home (which they can do) and hoping the Clippers role players play poorly on the road (which they've been known to do as well)

Safe to say Clips Lue > Clips Doc or is it too early?

Jared Allen for a Team USA big?

He deserves it, imagine if he was still with the Nets….

Doc rivers is wild overrated. That chip over a decade ago inflated his value. Dude has the goofiest lineups. How many times has philly tricked off a big 1h lead this year. Itll be interesting if its philly vs milwaukee. 2 goofy coaches

 

[art vandelay]

Culture

He’s on their radar because he is in the way of who Miami really wants.

 

[HIM]

Shortened off season and no ibaka is the reason I have Utah in 6

 

[Maximus Meridius]

We've seen KD's weakness is when he's asked to be a distributor. He plays too much 1 on 1, he's not a natural read the floor playmaker like that. He always had another all-star PG to take that responsibility.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

World Champion Los Angeles Clippers honestly has a nice ring to it

guy is the most overrated coach in NBA history, how he still has a job is beyond me. Why announcers call him “the great doc rivers” is a joke. So many GREAT coaches have lost there jobs for less than this bozo has done and yet he is still in the NBA. He is just a name at this point

 

[atlsfinest]

Way too early to tell. What has Lue accomplished that Doc hasn't? Doc took the Clippers to the 2nd round plenty of times. If the Clippers actually make the WCF then we can talk.

Nah stay yo *** over there BIG LEEMELONE
