2021 NBA playoffs thread

I still can't believe San Antonio didn't go for Guerschon Yabusele and a 2023 second-round pick.

 

Bobby Grier, I guess? Ha. And of course, the illustrious run of M.L. Carr.

 

p.s. That fucker is shooting 44.7 percent from 3 this year! ... in France! But still, his PER with the Celtics was around 12, like a bad bench player. At least he was fun to watch.

 

As a Pistons fan, this is my favorite Danny Ainge trade

MON DIEU!!!

Not gonna lie, I had hopes for French Draymond.

 

He never would have given that much up. A second round swap, maybe.

 

Hey, that's another feather for Ainge! He gave up Mike James, and got the draft pick that would become trick-or-treat Tony Allen.

 

EVER!

 

Haha, wow the Knicks were frauds.

 

The Knicks had a great season. They totally overachieved to get the 4 seed and lost to a far more talented 5 seed.

They have a roster that should have put them in the lottery and instead they had home court in the first round. That's a hell of an accomplishment.

 

lol - now they are the plucky overachievers? Lost to a far more talented team? You are re-writing history.

I was fed all spring how awesome they were. I literally could not get away from hearing how the "knicks are back" and how much better the NBA is.

Frauds.

 

I can’t read his name without hearing it in Zach Lowe’s voice.
