In this episode we'll recap how the second round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs is going so far! At time of recording, the Sixers and Hawks were tied at 1-1, Nets were up 2-1 on Bucks, Suns were up 2-0 on Nuggets, and Jazz were up 2-0 on Clippers.
Some highlights so far:
- Donovan Mitchell is BALLING! 45 in Game 1, 27 first half points in Game 2 (finished with 37), and Jazz have held on to win a few nail-biters at home in Utah.
- Suns have a balanced offense, Booker doesn't need to drop 30 to win a game. They've proven that in both series so far.
- Bucks defense is getting torched in Brooklyn, sans Harden. They slowed down the game enough to win on a game winning layup by Jrue Holiday in game 3, but can they keep up. We talk chances of Harden coming back as well.
- Embiid looks healthy and not injured at all. Has played over 30 minutes every game, playoff career high 40 in game 2 and dominating the thinner Capela.
What happened Friday night:
- Philly wins game 3 behind another big game from Embiid. They are now up 2-1
- Joel Embiid had 27, 9 boards, and 8 asssits.
- Tobias Harris chipped in with 22 and 8
- 3 headed monster for PHX as they cruise against Nuggets for 3-0 lead
- Ayton: 10 and 15
- CP3: 27 and 8 assists
- Devin Booker: 28 and 6 boards
- Jokic finishes with 32, 20 boards, 10 assits in loss. Had 10 offensive rebounds.
