Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

Heat might miss the playoffs

Jazz looking real good, idk what they will be in playoffs but they are having a great season

they just need to finish first & force the LA teams to meet before the WCF but idk if that will even mean the Jazz make it to the WCF themselves

I think they can beat the Clippers, dont see them having a chance against us though, their best bet would be Lakers vs Clippers 2nd round with Clippers coming out of a 7 game series

The 76ers are like a poor man's version of the 2019-2020 Lakers. Lebron/AD is just better than Ben/Embiid. The Sixers are fifth in defensive rating, 14th in offensive rating, fifth in rebound rate and similar to last year's Lakers that couldn't shoot, they're at 29.1% from three.


I feel like we can just skip to the Nets-Lakers Finals. It's a formality at this point. As bad as the Nets defense is, no one out East is good enough and no one is outscoring them for four games. They're the 2017 Cleveland Cavaliers.

I could see them beating the Clippers (doubt they do) especially if PG isn't healthy but with Joe Dirt lurking, George being hurt might be a good thing

I could see only the Lakers beating the Jazz out west but I could also seeing them (Jazz) losing to 3 other teams as well

With this being the 2nd game of a back-to-back for Utah (after going 110% effort vs the Bucks), and Miami having enough of their good players on hand, i kinda thought this would be a bit more competitive...

Even though they folded last year I think the Bucks would give the Nets a hard time from a matchup standpoint. They have a lot of length to take advantage of the Nets lack of bigs and I think they may be able to protect the rim well enough to make it tough on Kyrie and Harden.

I favor the Nets in a series with them but I think they can potentially be a bad matchup. I'd say the Sixers as well but I think Simmons has proven to be too much of a playoff liability for me to trust him at this time.

So no smoke for the Celtics losing to the Pistons for the 2nd time? But when Philly loses it's

It’s kryie fault they lost

*If* this happens... with Jim and Bayo not missing significant time from here on out...

Does Jim get a pass because he had Covid (still not 100%?)... or does he get a pass because he overachieved in the bubble and was never really a top 10'ish player?

Or does he not get a pass?

Other top 10 players have their (coli) legacies on the line every night they play
