2021 NBA regular season thread

So the Bucks and Denver are basically in complete control of who they play in round 1. Interesting to see how they approach the final game.

Milwaukee get to choose between Heat or Knicks while Denver can choose between Portland, Lakers, or Dallas

DEnver loses to any of those 3 teams.

Losing Murray hurts them a lot.

Denver beat Dallas in a series if they get back Barton

I cant think of any scenario as to why Denver would want to win. Lose and you play Portland or Dallas. If the Clippers do beat OKC, they are in the 4 and would avoid LAL until the WCF, if they get there.

I totally agree

Unless Miami pulls the stunning upset tonight without Jimmy, we are probably locked in to a Miami/Milwaukee first round

Not with the way Dallas has been playing since they were a .500 team.

Have you paid any attention to Denver since Murray went down?

In a series....Dallas is winning

I was hoping for an old school Heat/Knicks series. Those were great in the late 90's.

Small sample size....playoffs are a different animal.

17 games isn't that small of a sample size

After they play tomorrow it'll be exactly a quarter of their season

Me too. That was the easiest matchup for Miami of the possible playoffs opponents

Jimmy Butler didn't play any of the games vs the Bucks this season. Important to remember

If the heat has to play one of the big 3 that’s who they want, they can beat them.

My choice would be Philly but you never want to play one of the top dogs in round 1. The first round was never going to be easy but I would have preferred to see the Hawks.

I juat think Miami’s history in the playoffs against the Bucks will be an advantage as long as they are healthy.

Can't underestimate the revenge factor. Bucks are probably the last team I wanted to see in round 1

The Spurs flushed their chance to have home court in the FINALS versus the Wizards or Pacers.

Popovich should have never went to Tim Duncan's Hall of Fame induction.

When the 34 win Indiana Pacers host game 7 of the NBA finals versus my 33 win Spurs, I will be pissed.

Screw that Tim Duncan guy....whoever the hell he is... He ruined the chances of my beloved #10 seed Spurs hosting the NBA Finals.
