2021 NBA playoffs thread

Over?

(you're correct, it is.)

 

Lakers are done, and not just this year.

 

Booker's on pace for 88.

 

36-14
In LA?

Even before the infamous Mother's Day Massacre in 2011 that propelled the Mavs to the title and sent Phil Jackson into retirement, I noticed that when the Lakers crash out of the playoffs, they often do so spectacularly.

 

If this were NBA Jam, Booker would have already burnt Staples Center to the ground.

I know Lebron likes to ramp it up later in the game—opting to be a facilitator in the beginning and taking over later—but in the last 5 minutes he played in the first quarter, he just looked like another dude on the court. Suns are just feasting on a depleted Lakers and I'm not sure if LA cares.

 

It's OK. The TNT crew is on it. They're pining for a Lakers' comeback. They're the home crew. I love it. Especially when Booker keeps throwing it in their faces. WET.

 

Booker vs. Trae in the Finals could be fun.

 

Suns up 18-8 in rebounds.
The shooting has to level off, but getting your ass kicked on the glass might not.

 

I almost feel bad for him.
He can’t just switch teams again. He has to figure out a way to get Street Clothes playing more. He can’t retire after this. He’s in a bad spot.
