2021 NBA playoffs thread

Lakers played like shit.

 

They looked so slow.

 

The Lakers can just go spit. Between Caruso and LeBron, man, they are just not fun to watch at times. (I realize LeBron is incredible, but there's at least one moment per game where I just want to yell, "Will you get up and play?")

 

Agreed. I will admit that when LeBron got kinda undercut by CP and was on the ground (again!) I thought "come on, you stumbled down, you didn't fall directly on your shoulder, why are you writhing?" Then after watching replay, saw that it might have been his shoulder had been jerked slightly out of socket, which if you've ever suffered a dislocation/separation, is brutal. So I understand that one.

 

there’s no crying in baseball, but apparently whining makes the WNBA go ‘round.
And what’s with calling out the coach of the other team as the “little white one” “I don’t even know his name”. It’s always great those that want to get respect the most are the ones that rarely show it.

 

He called her fat. During a game. And she’d be ejected if she said anything back to him.

God, you’re a racist asshole.

 

Davis just kicked a guy in the dick.

 

Yep.

 

As a Suns fan, I'm somewhat encouraged that they managed to hang around as well as they did last night considering they a) couldn't stop turning the ball over b) got into huge foul trouble early c) Book didn't wake up until midway through the second half d) Paul was clearly very hurt and e) Bron and AD both went off. Yet there was a chance to take the lead deep into the fourth quarter. They're more than capable of winning a game at Staples Center, the Paul injury is just a total bummer. He's basically a non-factor right now, and I don't know if two days rest will help much. I almost wonder if it's worth it to punt Game 3 and sit him and hope he's in better shape Sunday afternoon for Game 4 rather than trying to force him out there when he's basically playing with one arm.

If you’d told me at season’s start the Clippers lose to the Mavs in the playoffs, I’d call it disappointing but understandable. But the Mavs did not look good this entire season. I don’t know where the Clippers go from here. I’m half-tempted to say they should just blow it up if this series goes where it looks like it’s headed.
