NBA Playoffs 2021

[Roy H.]

No kryme. No Harden.  Now need to embiid. No Lakers.  I know this has been a disappointment of a season for cs fans but the nets season and Lakers have to be bigger disappointments.

Has Harden even ever been to any conference finals? Hasn’t he always been eliminated in the 2nd round?

He’s been to the WCF four times, advancing to the Finals once with OKC.

He’s had a tough playoff career, but he’s not McGrady.

 14 of 49 from Middleton and Holiday and the Bucks win on the road.  Crazy.

Only watched the 2nd half but very enjoyable game 7 to watch.  Refs did a good job letting them play.  Very little 3pt chucking.  Not much flopping or offensive players jumping into defenders to get foul calls.  And the Nets lost to top it off.

Let's make some moves and Crush this Nets team next season~!

Harden jumped up and flopped into one guy's arms, but to the refs' credit that wasn't a shooting foul. The KD drive where the defender jumped straight up was weak.

Surprisingly decent job by the refs otherwise.

Which is nothing considering the pace of the game and all the calls they have to make.  The refs aren't going to get every call correct.  I don't remember the Harden play but the KD drive was a tough call in real-time.  It was probably more of a no-call but 9 of 10 times it is going to be called on the defender.  The refs also got the reviews done quickly and correctly.

Nets almost "bought" a way to the finals

Baskeball gods said no

Consider me converted to that religion

Karmas a B!tch, huh? Lucky says Hi, Kyrie...

Yes it is !!!!

Still, the worst part of Kyrie stepping on our Leprechaun, which Max talked about a lot, was that none of our guys retaliated - even loving all over Irving during the post-game 5 hugfest. As Larry once said, until this team gets it's heart in the right place, they are in trouble.

Long time lurker here. I'm happy the Nets are out, but it doesn't make me feel any better to see the Bucks progress. I kinda hate them too haha. Best case scenario at this point is them beating the sixers and then losing to the Suns. Hell I would even root for the Clippers over the Bucks. I just don't want to see a direct rival beat us to the next chip, call me crazy.

When the keys are in the hands of young kids who respect a guy of Kyrie’s character, what do you expect?

This team has talent. We need toughness, heart, and grit. Smart only takes us so far. Thompson is useless. The way Horford sat there and watched Kyrie/Rozier/Morris take the team hostage his last season with us, I have little faith in him as a leader as well.

The injuries themselves suck, but the resulting playoffs have been fantastic.  I like parity and unpredictability, and these playoffs have given us exactly that.

I’m pulling for the Bucks, but I can root for any team but Philly to win.

If that's what you want, Crazy.  My preference is:  Sixers (Embiid gets his 1st), Clippers (Rondo gets his 3rd, Lakers get too watch the Clips celebrate), Bucks (Giannis and Holiday get their 1st), Hawks (meh) and lastly the Suns (not a CP fan).

This exactly.  I dislike Simmons, embiid, currylite almost as much as the 3 stooges.  Best case scenario is Milwaukee vs whoever.  I wouldn't mind seeing Chris Paul win.

With all due respect the Sixers are my second least favorite team after the Lakers. I enjoy Embid's game and persona, but he plays for a team I can't root for ever. Rondo winning a third I would not mind at all. Screw the Bucks and the Hawks.

SOOOOOO happy the Nets lost. It's great having them and the Lakers out. Now if the Hawks can somehow beat the Sixers ...

[RJ87]

Rooting for the Bucks from here on out. Would love to see Giannis get rewarded for committing to the small market team that drafted him.
