2021 NBA playoffs thread

Assuming the Warriors win their next game, I think every first round match up in the Western Conference has the potential to go seven games with no surprise at any outcome. Can't say I'm too excited for the East until the second or even third round. Will be rooting for the Jazz, Nuggets and the Suns.

Nuggets ended last season as second best team in the world.

Jokic even better this year but the injuries have been kind of insane and team hasn't gelled the same way.

Most curious to see if Jazz can back up that regular season.

I thought it looked like Green actually did poke him in the eye and knowing Green likely intentional.

Then I see online comments and half the people saying he invented the entire thing. I'm not a huge fanboy of his but ridiculous for people finding a way to criticize his closing of that game.

The eye poke was definitely legit. After the game that eye looked like mine after being swarmed by cats around my face.
 
Excited to see how Portland does with a full roster.
 
Pacers just don't have enough healthy guys and just got blasted by DC.
Sabonis played his butt off.
 
Love to see the fans show up to support their team in Oakland. Congratulations to everyone, we have done it! Watching games in the bubble 9 months ago, I never would have dreamt today would be possible so soon.
 
West is gonna be a bloodbath. I could see four teams legitimately go to the Finals (Jazz, Lakers, Clippers, Suns). I do think Lakers beat the Suns in the first round though (unfortunately).

Spitballing predictions:

EAST:
76ers over Wizards in 6
Knicks over Hawks in 7
Nets over Celtics in 5
Bucks over Heat in 7

76ers over Knicks in 5
Nets over Bucks in 6

Nets over 76ers in 7

WEST:
Jazz over Grizzlies in 5
Clippers over Mavs in 5
Blazers over Nuggets in 6
Lakers over Suns in 7

Jazz over Clippers in 7
Lakers over Blazers in 6

Jazz over Lakers in 7

FINALS:
Jazz over Nets in 7

I just struggle to see the Jazz win it all without the elite superstar type, been a while since a team like theirs won it.
I'm really curious to see how Lebron and AD physically play out the playoffs.

I'll take the Blazers and Clippers in the WCF, one homer pick.

The Jazz aren’t coming out of the west, let alone winning it all. They had a nice regular season but I wouldn’t take them at all.

I agree. Seems like this whole season has been about creating a narrative for lebron to overcome adversity and becoming the first 7 seed to win the Finals.
