nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

why do i feel like lebron is going to look about 5 years younger by the time the second round starts

thats why he must be removed in the first lol

lebron james losing to the phoenix suns in the first round of the playoffs..... it’s not gonna happen

ill have to check the records but im pretty sure lebron has lost before

he's never lost in the first round though he has missed the offs entirely so that puts it in his range imo

hes never lost in the first round but hes had high seeds and now he has a low seed so hes playing a team that he would have faced in the later rounds if he had a high seed

also he seems pretty injured, just barely beat the warriors, who are not good

lakers defense is so good. theyll be in every game just cos of that alone. keeping curry to less than 10 3pa is a massive feet in and of itself. they stifled the curry dray pnr as well as anyone ive seen.

i mostly feel bad for cp3, the worst possible outcome for his personal legacy

lakers defense is def very good but some of the guys they want to play drummond schroder are not that good, wonder what their lineups will end up looking like, wes mathews has ridiculous on off numbers since the all star break fwiw, lotta dicey guys in there tho, just feel like if bron and ad arent near 100% then the whole concept of that team kinda crumbles, that seems obvious i mean

part of the reason the lakers looked bad yesterday is bcuz draymond was putting on a show on defense. the suns have no one on their frontline who is even half the defender dray is

dray was great but bron and ad obviously werent moving well out there

bron will def do some gutty stuff ad is always at risk of disappearing in the best of times

also it must be asked "what is the lakers offense" theres basically zero playmaking outside bron

dray was great

on defense

also it must be asked "what is the lakers offense" theres basically zero playmaking outside bron

warriors wouldve won that game if they hadnt turned the ball over every possession of the second half, not only prevented them from scoring it really gave the lakers offense life

notable yet not surprising that the lakers acquired 3 centers and a pricey guard since the end of last season, none of whom played when it mattered last night.

dray 2pts 6tos

Drummond was hilariously bad. They really can't play Gasol at all? Why do they hate him so much.

yeah cld see playing ad at center and then drummond as his back up cause he can put the ball in the ring and they need that but the ad-drummond front court just doesnt make any sense

if they make a deep run i bet gasol will be getting more burn than drummond by that point

yeah you gotta think theyll at least give him a shot at some point

schroeder was bad but thats like his 2nd game back from a couple of weeks off and snitching on bron being antivax

plus good timing on these reports:
https://heavy.com/sports/los-angeles-lakers/rumors-dennis-schroder-knicks-unhappy-in-la/

lol if he extorts the lakers via the knicks all you can do it tip your cap

gotta love the confidence

the knicks are gonna do something really idiotic this summer

otm, we need to get back to living

absolutely they are haha. pretty much like 70% of their roster are free agents. but theyll have to pay randle next year

who are the biggest free agents this year they can ruin their team with

lowery and schroder seem like good candidates

lonzo

oh yeah lonzos perfect, wld feel bad for him tho

dont think that shows all the RFA though.

kawhi could opt out and bounce if they get smoked again.
could see the knicks going for derozan

warriors wouldve won that game if they hadnt turned the ball over every possession of the second half, not only prevented them from scoring it really gave the lakers offense life

yeah definitely felt like at a certain point they stopped running plays and started just whipping the ball around, looking for an open lane. it was really ugly.

Seems like the Suns have the guys to make life difficult for Lebron. If AD continues to look stiff I think they can take it, but if he rounds into form Lakers probably bounce em.

imagine being dennis f'n schroeder and playing with lebron and davis and saying to yourself yeah i think i need my own team. what a maniac.

dude thinks he's kyrie

when you think you're kyrie you have no choice but to act like a maniac

Ayton has been banged up lately. I think he needs to play well for the Suns to win.

imagine being dennis f'n schroeder and playing with lebron and davis and saying to yourself yeah i think i need my own team. what a maniac.

hes been a borderline starter on multiple teams! does he think all of them just dont understand basketball

his current contract is fair. 4/75 would b good but the knicks will go 4/100 for sure

paying even 4/75 for a point guard who never has been nor ever will be an all star... i dunno. i know it's "market rate" but what's dennis schroeder really doing for you

the funny thing is hes a perfect sixth man just bring him in let him shoot a bunch whatever

if i were employing a non allstar starting point guard id rather have an all around solid guy who can run an offense a fred van vleet or what have you than someone like schroder who is a talented scorer but also kind of a fuck up

jeremy clarkson recognized his calling in life. hard thing for those borderline starters/chuckers/change of pace dudes

yeah was thinking same re clarkson

FVV is in the same boat imo. signed a 4/85 deal and shot 39%fg this season. but hes not a knucklehead and won a title so its looked over.

yeah.. that contract...

fred can make plays for other guys is what makes him better imo, and as you said not a knucklehead, also was prob asked to do too much this year raptors dont have a lot of firepower, him and schroder prob wouldve done better switching teams
