2021 NBA playoffs thread

[Cyinthenorth]

I agree. Lillard just seems like he's gonna fall into the same mold as guys like Miller, Barkley, Ewing, etc. Great players that played on good teams but just couldn't get it done in the playoffs at the end of the day.

Pretty good comparisons. Miller and Ewing couldn't get past MJ (for Dame it would be couldn't get past the GS juggernaut teams early, LeBron's team last year) and Barkley just played on good but never great Suns/Rockets teams (also fits the bill for most of Dame's Trailblazer teams so far, incl this year).

Maybe he was going off each individual? Hornacek alone would probably push everyone off the list under Sam Mack I would have to imagine

Updated! Jeez, can't believe I missed Tinsley! He's 4th with 17 points. (Highest output in a single playoff game.)

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Basketballreference.com has Hornacek scoring between 10-19 points in a playoff game 75 different times

Ha! Updated! He's in 8th.

Big change coming from the Celtics.

Was a low three star I think coming out of high school. Crazy what he has become. Probably the most clutch player in NBA history. I really want to see him on a championship team some year.

FYI - He was a 4 star and top 100. He's always been slightly built, but he could always play.

I think he was was referring to Lillard, not Monte.

You're right - I'm dumb.

ECC going to be determined in the upcoming series between Bucks and Nets.

Reggie Miller loving that Spike Lee left the game with 2:30 remaining.

 

[baagoe]

Horrible teammate and overall bad person.

Bad person how?

Yes in scrub min. Way to take advantage of the opportunity though.

Lol, you can think he is a whiny child on the court (he absolutely is) and disagree with his politics, but to go as far as to say he's an overall bad person?
