The Hornets.
sons since at least 2 full weeks will be cancelled the 2011-12 season officially has a big * attached to it just like the 1999 season did. It will be a bogus "season" if any games are played because the players are not prepared to play, the teams aren't giving 100%, and they won't have enough time to develop like they would over a full 82 game season. It will essentially be a crapshoot just like the 1999 season where virtually any team can win the championship as it will only boil down to a matter of luck with who gets "hot" at the right times.

The Hornets.
Since all teams will play the exact same number of games, yeah that's jacked up. *
Legit question. If the Lakers win it, does it still "not count"? I would like to hear what Laker s have to say about that.
I'll go out on a limb and say the Heat will win this and no one will ever legitimize it.
Kool Ape Man has already gone on record saying it WOULD count if the Lakers won because they won it all recently. He loves moving the goal posts like that...
sons even if the Hornets won the le this season I would still say that it deserves a * next to it. How can anyone (other than ignorant/biased Spur fan still mad about 1999) argue against the fact that a shortened season is bogus?
Yeah,
the bag: 6
Kobe: 5

Courtesy of referee Tim Donaghy, the San Antonio Spurs have earned their second asterisk-laced NBA le.
The first one was obviously the 1999 NBA le during the hectic strike-shortened season. Bill Simmoms best describes the shammockery that it really was:
This was the excruciating lockout season, when the overmatched player's union -- led by Billy Hunter and Patrick Ewing, who shouldn't have been trusted to handle a bake sale at an elementary school, much less a labor dispute -- had their ensalada tossed by David Stern (at the apex of his power) and limped back to work in early February, followed by a rushed 50-game season in which too many players changed teams and nearly everyone was out of shape, leading to nagging injuries, shoddy basketball and an absolutely hateful season on every level. The rushed playoffs were such a joke that the eighth-seeded Knicks ended up making the Finals before getting trounced by the Spurs...

Whining about 2007 =![]()
son I agree. 2002 definitely deserves one and maybe even 2006. I was just simply posting an article from the internets
Only pussies & assholes lodge asterisks.
son at this rate there wont be a tainted le for a team to win with no season
I bet it wont if the Hornets win
mavs gonna take advantage of the short season to keep our old legs fresh and creep in the back door for the repeat..and spur fans chode will spontaneously implode.
Lakers, of course. I'll take:
Kobe: 6 (and counting)
MJ: 6 (and no more)

"mavs gonna take advantage of the short season to keep our old legs fresh and creep in the back door for the repeat..and spur fans chode will spontaneously implode."
Then you'll wait three months again and creep in the back door here to celebrate, or, whatever it is Mavs Fan do after winning an NBA le.
I don't know if the populace here abouts could stand it. They're barely able to brook Kobe with 5.
ill take a * over a first round fodder any year, 1.5 les would be fine with me
Such a bold statement.![]()
