Not in '20, they weren't.
That could have easily applied to the Lakers too, but they didn't allow it to derail them. If anything, they should be commended for that.
well, if we're going to use anecdotal evidence, just this post-season alone, the home team has gone 11-3. although, last year, the home team went 9-6. considering the history of ADNP and Lebroken, i'd have to say that rest probably trumps rust in their case. the lockdown was also a very strange format whereas the only thing different about the strike season was that there were fewer games. i don't even think half of the players had their hearts in the playoffs as evidenced by walkouts, protests and players opting out.

Are we seriously going to sit here and argue about asterisks?
Spurs fans were up in arms when Phil Jackson said we deserved an asterisk for our '99 championship because of the lockout. Obviously, Spurs shut him up by winning 4 more.
Since then, we've had another lockout shortened season, the COVID-postponed Disney Bubble season, and a shortened and condensed season following that to catch up.
And you know what? All of those championships count the same because every team played in the same cir stances and had to deal with it. Don't go making excuses about injuries or illnesses or political statements because that happens every single season.
NBA played a full season this year, but Brooklyn basically sacrificed a ring because Kyrie is a nutjob who is afraid to get a shot...does this season deserve an asterisk too?
I'm the last one to defend the Lakers, but they went out there and got their ring in the bubble over everyone else who had the chance to stop them.

The bubble ring is by far the biggest asterisks. The season stopped for months, and it was unknown even if the season would progress. That bubble was a tournament. I have a sneaky su ion that the bubble doesn't go ahead if the Lakers were not the top seed. I have this conspiracy that Lebron made that season continue. He does jack squat if the 2021/22 season was cancelled.
^ They were playing in empty gyms for s sake.
Wiggins is solid
I do NOT see any possible way the warrior-refs will let the gots lose one at home…
I'm not watching this game but what's going on? Are the refs letting the Warriors get away with hacking on defense?
Refs taking over to insure warriors win
Yep...this finals will be unwatchable as I thought
Robert Williams loses the ball under the basket too much
I decided before the series started I wouldn't watch any of these games live. I just despise the Warriors too much to sit through watching them. If they lose any of these games I have them all taped on youtube TV and will watch the games they lose.
White >>>>>>>>> Smart
Sir, you are out of your mind. After some truly terrible conference finals, this will be an awesome series.
Derrick White! When he’s shooting like this…Damn…
Don’t tell Pop
Notice curry makes shots in 4 when gs is ahead not behind
Can the Celts finish
The spurs did right by White. He wasn’t winning here and they sent him to a winning situation. It hurt at the time (he was my favorite Spur), but it was the right move.
Also, that spurs dna fixed those soft Emo Boston boys.

This has to be one of the Warriors' worst playoff collapses I can remember. Not boxing out. Not putting hands on shooters. Not moving the ball like normal.
Tatum sucked shooting their star but got 13 assist and did not score in 4
I'm so impressed with Boston. I thought this game was over in the 3rd quarter. Then Boston locked in to begin the 4th quarter and completely changed the game.

If I told you this morning that Jayson Tatum was going to go 3-for-17, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you wouldn’t have had the Celtics winning by double digits
I would not be shocked if Boston wins series 4-1

That's a 40-16 fourth quarter for the Celtics to rip away Game 1 in SF. Warriors lose homecourt. Eight made jumpers from Al Horford. Derrick White stung them for 21 bench points. Celtics hit 21 3s
