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

love him or hate him youve got to admit that "magic" knows basketball

thybulle causing havoc out there

The Milwaukee Bucks were led by their two stars last night, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo, in their win over the Brooklyn Nets 86-83.

lmao this is the most alien one to date

captures the spirit of that game pretty well

dwights hair is insane and awful

yeah he looks like a doll with stylable hair that someone gave to a very creative child

Capela has been really quiet this series

embiid is pretty much worst case for him on both ends of the court

embiid when hes drawing tons of fouls is just very tough to deal with

Embiid just hits the floor so much, in situations where he really doesn’t need to

isn’t that his “thing” … has it ever been backed up by science

Would it be science or art

it kind of makes sense to me as long as youre really good at falling over, i mean there cant be any weird torque applied to your knee if youre lying on the ground

Trae is one dude who shouldn’t be complain about foul calls.

complaining

Steph developed really good falling down skills after his ankle troubles

I really look forward to a Hawks team with Reddish and Hunter playing D

Not sure why Embiid is on the floor at this point up by 18 with 2 to go.

MPJ loses so many loose balls it’s insane

phx starting 11/15, very nice stuff

the Simmons one handed lob to embiid was very good

Nugs just don’t have the talent to match up here

yeah shame murray is out. could have been a great series

Mpj and Gordon have been 🗑 and Morris until this hame.

Big honey leaving it all out there, as they say

32-20-10 for jokic at least

jokic was so good, just some amazing dimes

3rd player with a 30-20-10 in the playoffs (wilt and kareem)

.@ginamizell made sure to follow up when Deandre Ayton made a look at the box score. His answer on Nikola Jokic's 32-20-10 line did not disappoint. pic.twitter.com/GlaA2gECKc

wonder how many players have posted a 30-20-10 loss. i assume westbrook has.

huh apparently not

i think jokic might be the first player to ever do it twice though. him and dame should start a group chat.

Westbrook surely has a 30-10-20 or two tho

man the suns are on freaking fire

that ayton clip is very charming, perfect responce, well mediad

Ayton is extremely underrated rn

Indeed. Hasn’t had a low energy game all playoffs.

idk it seems like he is being properly rated after a series of good performances in high profile playoff games

Yeah you would say that because you underrate him

everyone is like, he’s playing really well! lol. how is he being underrated

Chris Paul was an mvp candidate averaging 16 and 8 or whatever because people think Ayton is just a guy

A weird thing that happened last night was Trae young committing two really dirty fouls after the whistle and the sixers just ignoring it?

Trae isn't really getting under the sixers skin.

Basically every role player on the suns looks like a potential starter for a lower tier playoff team and three of their starters look like all-stars. If they stay healthy, it's hard not to pick them out of the west. I did!

Nets/Sixers feeling harder to pick with the injuries, curious to see who can finish their respective series first.

The Jazz or Clippers will have to play much better than they have played so far, if they want to beat the Suns in the WCF.

the jazz are 6-1 w/ two pretty convincing wins over the clippers and the only loss being the one game mitchell didn't play. not sure they could be playing much better

jazz suns would be a cool wcf i know its just the top 2 seeds but they're both non-superteams which feels like an anomaly these days

jazz match up well with the suns, especially if they get conley back

would be a great series, both teams have a lot of shooters

they’re kind of mirror images of each other, assuming conley plays. it would be really fun

yeah, i'm up for it for sure. Only saw about six jazz games during the regular season though so not as deeply acquainted with them as many of the also rans. of course they look like a much different team with Mitchell rampaging.
