NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

I am happy with how the West is going right now.
Wanted the Jazz to move forward as a threat to the Clippers / Lakers.
Can't say I hate the Lakers, but don't really want them to win either -- nice to see them lose.
Hopefully the Mavs can take care of business, but seems like the Clips have stabilized.

I absolutely fw Trae Young. Love everything about him in this series.

Great shot!

Is that Spike near Trae? Love Spike, love his work, love his passion for the Knicks, but he’s become a cartoon character.

Trae is a bad man. His stock rose in this series for how he dealt with the Knicks & the crowd.

 

[Day2]

The Clippers are getting rope-a-doped and don’t realize it.

Mavericks are holding on for dear life right now

Luka needs to go Fresh Prince 1 on 5 if these dudes are gonna brick wide open look after wide open look.

 

[Day2]

This team is so mentally fragile.

 

[jncuse]

Is that Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner on the court for the Mavs?

My buddy used to do Terance Mann’s homework at FSU

Luka looked shot down the stretch... credit where it’s due, his teammates picked him up to close that out.

They scored 16 points in the fourth quarter. The Clippers choked. Unforced errors and bad shots.

Well, that too..

 

[Day2]

Well, that too..

Hardaway and Porzingis made a couple of big shots, no question.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Ballmer must have some seriously schweddy balls right now. I don’t know, the Curse of Donald Sterling may still be messing with the Clippers.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Gonna be wild if both LA teams are 1st round bounces.

May be time to bring in Tim Donaghy.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

I see why Kendrick was such a popular teammate.

 

[Day2]

The Jazz are going to coast into the Finals.

 

[Alsacs]

Bring back Doc!

Next Celtics coach will be Chauncey Billups or Sam Casell.

 

[OrangeDW]

Memphis hung tough in this series and just didn’t know how to close out games. They acquitted themselves well, I thought. Tonight was predictable after they let two home games slip away.

They had no chance and are kinda boring to watch.

With Curry, at least the thought of an upset would be in play.

Gonna be wild if both LA teams are 1st round bounces.

If this happens and Milwaukee is actually able to knock out the Nets, ratings are going to be horrible but I'm going to love it so much.

Luka is great but I think the Clippers live with his 42 points if he needs 37 shots to get there (and Hardaway needing nearly 20 to get his 20). Their roster can't score so right, wrong or indifferent they need Leonard and George to combine for 50 every night - at least.

The Jazz are going to coast into the Finals.

I'm pretty bullish on the Jazz right now assuming Mike Conley's hamstring is not hamstrung. So many pieces peaking at the right time. No other team can match the depth and shooting ability.

He was crushing it until the 4th and then became gassed. That's the only reason they came back.

Got to have the context for the inefficiency there.

Nice of KP to hit a few shots in the 4th after being a no show, again.

I don't think the Clips can give away another hot start at home for Luka and keep crawling back out of it. Clips have more talent, but Mavs have Luka and a better coach.
