Official 2020-21 NBA Finals - Milwaukee Bucks win the NBA Championship!

Just take the 1 seed. The Lakers could lose to the Warriors anyway. Doesn’t make sense to be scared of the Lakers. Going to need to beat them eventually anyway.
 
The Lakers have lost a ton of games this year

As CP3 said “don’t duck nobody”
 
Collins is one made three from shooting 40% from deep for the second straight season.

Collins is a better three point shooter in the NBA than Dinos is in Greece.
 
will need to figure out the deets for play-in and other stuff but who wants to do a points tournament for the playoffs this year? thinking 8 rounds or so. will put a max of 2 players per team to aka the don’t be a palma rule. prob need to do one hour clock for picks but thinking a good faith pick if someone can’t make it with the option to swap for an available player.
 
I’m in. We can just draft after the play-in is over.

Kyrie got 50/40/90. Ninth player ever to do it. Wonder if CP knew how close he was to it.

What's the fuck, why's there a palma rule?
 
The Clippers are playing a guy who's literally named Scrubb

Clippers are 9 point favorites too. That seems wrong and like free money to bet against the clips tonight if anyone has access to a gambling account

I've been watching alot of Warriors games lately, and they've had like 3 straight playoff style games in a row. Steph is dialed in, I got them beating the Lakers who should be Rusty.
 
I hope they do. And I'd obviously love to see the Spurs get in. But I think the Lakers will win and I think Memphis will beat the Warriors in a rematch. I'm pretty excited for 6 extra sorta play-off games. That's like an extra series.

And Inside the NBA will have four more gone fishin' segments than usual.
 
Courtesey of Lebatard, Tom Thibodeau has played Julius Randle an average of 46 mpg since clinching a playoff berth.
 
What is the full article?
 
76ers may have the two best perimeter defenders in the NBA in Thybulle and Simmons; they have the player that will finish the highest in the MVP voting from the Eastern Conference. They have the easier path to the Eastern Conference game (Atlanta or the Knicks) than the Nets (Milwaukee or Miami). The 76ers have home court. The 76ers have Doc on the bench, while the Nets's coach will be making his NBA playoff debut. Two of the Nets big three are major injury question marks, and the third guy is insane. Not saying Philly is lock to win the East, but I like that they are underdogs to get out of the East as compared to the Nets.

Eastern Conference odds (Draft Kings - payout on a $100 wager):

Nets +120
Bucks +300
76ers +300
Heat +1200
Celts +4000 (beyond stupid that the Celtics who have given up, and have to get through the play-in and then either the Nets or 76ers in round 1 have the same odds as ATL or NYK - shows bettors are stupid and will blindly bet Boston)
Knicks +4000
Hawks +4000
Wiz +15000
Pacers +25000
Hornets +25000

Western Conference:

Lakers +200 (LeBron gets all of the respect; favorite despite being the #7 seed and having to go through the play-in)
Clips +225
Jazz +350
Suns +700
Nugs +1200
Mavs +2500
Blazers +2500
Warriors +6000
Griz +15000
Spurs +30000
