Bigger Asterisk: 2015 Warriors or 2019 Raptors

[LeGiannis]

I would have to go with the 2015 Warriors because they faced injured opponents in every playoff round. At least the Raptors beat a healthy Sixers and Bucks team.

[Laker_1995]

2015 dubs for sure . Nothing comes close. In my opinion the best run in recent memory is 2011 mavs of 14 spurs.

[Spurtacular]

2017 Warriors. They had to zaza Kawhi to get it done after Beta already doing his sh** by jumping ship.

[BlackAndWhite]

I agree. They played injured opponents each round, and several of the opponents they played only happen to play them because they beat other injured teams

[DMC]

Dale came back just in time to tell you that lodging the injury is for pussies and assholes, but I'll let him tell you.

[Mark Celibate]

What does “bigger askterisk” actually mean?

if you’re talking about which team had the easier run, definitely 2015 Golden State. This year’s Raptors had one hell of a run they just got a break in the Finals by having to play a team with three all stars instead of four.


if you mean which team was less likely to win had everybody been fully healthy, then definitely this year’s Raptors

[AlexJones]

2015 Warriors were going to win no matter what. It was a fluke that Cleveland won 2 games.

For asterisks, nobody can beat 2002 lakers. I mean, all those “highlights” are pulled by the nba due to copyright issues, you never see anything like that for other championship teams.

Tell Peja to hit open 3s in game 7

[ambchang]

Not to any extent the kings got hosed in game 6.

The kings had 33fta the entire game 5. Lakers got 27 just in the fourth quarter alone. Divac and pollard both fouled out and Webber got 5. Leaving no one to guard shaq.

Game 7 shouldn’t even have existed.

[JoeTait75]

Game 7 shouldn’t even have existed.

Had the Kings held on to their 24-point lead in Game 4 they'd have ended it in five. Yeah, they got hosed in Game 6, but they should've won that series regardless.

It wasn’t in favour of the Lakers, they just wanted a game 7

Why do people always say this about the Spurs but no one ever says there should be an * with the Heat in the 2012 season which was also a shortened season? :rolleyes

[Killakobe81]

No asterisk not even on 1999 Spurs which was simply misguided and a Phil Jax troll job anyways.
State most likely wins if KD Looney and Klay are all healthy ...
But I think Raptors might win even if Klay and Looney play in game 7 (i think they would have lost game 6)
All that being said ...
Raptors are worthy champs and part of why i hope they run it back if they at least make finals they will have a shot to repeat but even if they dont they prove it wasn't lightning in a bottle if they beat Sixers and Bucks again ...

As a certain Trump/Movie Lovers says pussies and assholes blame refs/injuries ...

[Millennial_Messiah]

Had the Kings held on to their 24-point lead in Game 4 they'd have ended it in five. Yeah, they got hosed in Game 6, but they should've won that series regardless.
Samaki Walker's halfcourt shot (that wouldn't have counted with modern NBA instant replay) completely changed the momentum of that series.

[Ghazi]

2006 Heat have the biggest asterisk of all time if anything.

Injuries simply... happen. It's a part of the game as many people say. Can't asterisk a title due to injuries. Bad officiating on the other hand is an unnatural phenomenon.

Exactly, which is why I don't have much sympathy for the Kings. Game 6 was one game. They had every opportunity to win Game 7 and choked it away.

[MultiTroll]

smh
Newsflash.
Series is over after game 6.

Should not have been scammed into a position of having to win Game 7.

Same with Don Denniers super bogus call that robbed the St Louis Cardinals. It was over. Should not have beena Game 7.

Yup

And IDK why Adelman insisted on playing a rusty and out of rythm Stojakovic

Especially when Turkoglu was playing so well

Adelman was a great coach imo, but that was retarded

You're right, there shouldn't have been a Game 7 in the 2002 WCF and there shouldn't have been a Game 7 in the '85 WS. But there was. The Kings didn't have to choke, the Cardinals didn't have to embarrass themselves. There shouldn't have been a Game 7 of the 2013 Finals either, but the Spurs didn't go out there demoralized and get beat by 30. They didn't win, but they came to play and they deserve a lot of respect for that. Why couldn't those other teams have done the same?

League still forced an unnecessary game which eventually cost the kings a championship.

Game 6 was the worst officiated game I’ve ever watched and couldn’t be topped since despite the league being more and more obvious in influencing games.

That game was unbelievably horribly officiated.

Nobody forced that bug wit Webber to wander away from Horry & down that lane.

"Don't leave him, Chris. Whatever you do, you stubborn SOB, get in his jock & remain there. Understood, Chris?" Adelman
"Uh, yeah."

We all know gd good & well he was going to fuck that up. You can't tell any of these players, especially the black players a fuckin' thing. And it'd be no difference if Adelman were black. They won't listen to a blessed soul. They know everything.

Though Horry listened..."Just drop anchor here, Robert. That lunkhead, sooner or later will drift away." Jackson.

Let us proceed...

"Miners were prayin' & hearts beat fast as everybody thought the Lakers had breathed their last, cept Bob. With a mighty heave he gave out with a groan and like a giant black oak just stood there alone, Big Bob. Now, they never reopened that worthless pit, they just stuck Divacs head first in front of it. These few words on written on that that Polack's forehead,,,'at the bottom of this arena stands a big, big man...Big Bob."

I'm back, you sideshow lookin' SOB, you, & I'm stayin' back. I got Tom Barkley's balls in my transom. "Dale, there is a pair of balls in your transom. What's this all about, you aren't involved with those guys on that Spurs site again, are you?"

"Of course not, honey-bun. I got these from Doc Johnson Inc.."

If Anything the Warriors got exactly what they deserved, after trying to unfairly stack the deck for 3 years.

Heck, they should have won in 88

Because there was no upside to a Lakers win. A lot more upside to a Pistons win. Magic didn't care...he was sated. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt there'd be more.---didn't realize he'd been infected HIV/AIDs.

[The Gemini Method]

None. They both won, it's over, move on and wait until the next season. Both were given opportunities due to injuries. They took advantage of it and that's no fault of theirs nor is this really a conversation that matters in the grand NBA scheme of things.

Would have still lost to Detroit

Right bad foul call in game 6, plus the Isiah Injury he played through. But the details of their back to back, are not remembered as far as people making excuses for the losers.. They won.
