2021 NBA regular season thread

Outside of the Heat beating the Bucks, the other first round result I would love to see is these bitch ass Clippers getting eliminated

Dallas should have beat them last year if Porzingis didn't get hurt. I'm hoping they get the job done this time around because that was some shameful fuckery out there tonight

This.

And hopefully one other guy shows out at camps so that even if the odds go against them Detroit gets a stud

Someone that is more than a casual fan such as myself. The Blazers held the tiebreaker over both the Mavericks and the Lakers. There is a 3 way tie. The Lakers had the best conference record of the 3. How is Dallas #5, Portland #6 & LA #7?

is it because the Mavericks are division winners of the weakest division in the NBA?

Yes

The Clippers just pulled off a 2 game season ending tank at Houston and at OKC in which they pretty much sat everyone. How they walk around with their heads up is beyond me.

Dream scenario for the Thunder is to get 2 top 5 picks. There is a 43 percent chance that the Rockets get the 5 pick and if that happens it goes to the Thunder.

I know lebron and the lakers were joking on them last night. Dame and the Blazers probably as well

Correction, it’s 48 percent, I like that better.

I’m not so sure he isn’t the old one

Hey man!!!

Why don’t you do some load management.

Go have yourself a cream soda.

My thing is you're supposedly some title contender. Why are you avoiding certain teams so hard? No way that team get to the finals if this is their mindset

To be fair, it looks like the Nuggets were trying to avoid the Lakers too.

Although, I don't know how seriously folks take the Nuggets as contenders.

Curry is the oldest scoring champion since Jordan. He has 38 30+ point games, also most since Jordan (and only 72 games to get there). Most 3 pointers made in a season with 337 (in 72 games). Arguably his best season ever. Wiggy was right yet again.

my thoughts exactly. Remember the days when a top seed had enough swagger to step up to any team and wanna PROVE they're the best...?

It's going bye bye...

The thing is, a couple top seeds are missing very important players (Utah with Mitchell, Denver with Murray) so the West is truly wide open.

Wrong side of 30, never be truly great again, can't carry a team

What’s the prognosis on Mitchell? Do they expect him back at some point?
