2020-21 LOR2 Playoffs

[Laimbeer40]

EASTERN CONFERENCE

#1 New York vs #8 Detroit, 7-2 (Never a doubt here but NYK could struggle without Jamal Murray moving forward)
#2 Atlanta vs #7 Philadelphia, 7-2 (Never a doubt here but ATL could struggle without Donovan Mitchell next round)
#3 Indiana vs #6 Washington, 6-3 (Never a doubt here but IND could struggle without Jay Scrubb moving forward)
#4 Chicago vs #5 Cleveland, 5-4 (A bitter pill for CLE as a rescheduled game cost them a win)

WESTERN CONFERENCE

#1 LA Clippers vs #8 New Orleans, 5-4 (What un upset! Pels steal this one in part due to Clint Capela's 61 rebounds)
#2 Portland vs #7 Houston, 6-3 (Houston finally goes down in the West. The Beard was shaving... points) 
#3 LA Lakers vs #6 Utah, 5-4 (Back and forth battle all week but a nice game from PJ Washington on Sunday may have put LAL over the top)
#4 Minnesota vs #5 Phoenix, 7-2 (Big week from Luka was the difference here)

2ND ROUND

#1 New York vs #4 Chicago, 5-4 (Big upset brought to you by CP3, CJ McCollum and NYK's terrible team doctors. Billy trusted the process)
#2 Atlanta vs #3 Indiana, 6.5-2.5 (Sheer domination. Even w/o Ben Simmons, the Pacers are just too deep)

#5 Phoenix vs #8 New Orleans, 5-4 (It is amazing what JBaumann has pulled off this season. Keep in mind this franchise's best record ever was 21-57-2)
#2 Portland vs #3 LA Lakers, 5-4 (It turns out that maybe Forbz was the thing holding back the Lakers)

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

#3 Indiana vs #4 Chicago, 7-2 (Bulls kept it close until Saturday but Pacers were just too strong)

#3 LA Lakers vs #8 New Orleans, 6.5-2.5 (It was closer than the final tally indicates. Lakers had too much Jaylen Brown though)

2020-21 Finals

#3 Indiana vs #3 LA Lakers, 6-3 (Once we knew Jaylen Brown was out for the series it was a done deal and Vegas knew it too)

Vegas Line 
IND -300
LAL +270

Finals MVP: Jrue Holiday, IND

Please pay off my Lakers team in LOR2 and both the Kings and Clips in KTR (if Dwight doesn’t check in ever it’s cool I’m sure I can find someone else to manage the team), all the other money can just be held in an account if that’s cool with you Liam. I don’t plan on going anywhere for next season either
