2021 NBA playoffs thread

With the ridiculous alt color jerseys everyone uses now, you could have told me that was a Lakers uniform and I'd believe you.

 

You get that. The average LBJ fanboi, though ...

 

What is the average LBJ fanboi?

You seem like the average Skip Bayless fanboi.

 

He’s dirty, but he’s a great player.

 

So was Bill Laimbeer. Doesn't make him any less of a fuckface.

 

The fanboi thing doesn’t sting that much when they’re a fanboi of one of the five greatest to ever do something.

Like, nobody gets offended being accused of being a Mozart fanboi.

 

My first-round picks:
EAST
PHI over WSH in 6
BKN over BOS in 5
MIL over MIA in 7
NY over ATL in 6

WEST
UTAH over GS in 6/MEM in 5
PHX over LAL in 7
POR over DEN in 6
LAC over DAL in 6

 

Really weird to see the Wizards win a big game.

 

Not since the immortal John Wall hit that game winning shot in game 6, not game 7, in 2017 against the Celtics. Unfortunately they lost 24 hours later to be eliminated, where Wall went 8 for 23 and 1 for 8 from 3.

Barry Svrluga calls them a threat and appointment viewing, kiss of death. But at least they are still on TV.

 

They are total chaos, for good and for bad, on both ends.

 

16 of the 17 experts on ESPN's panel picked the Lakers to win the series. The Suns are the biggest underdog ever for a No. 2 seed.
