Post your playoff backup plans

Really love how some of you say you'd love your team to win the le this year, then a little farther down, when you have the Spurs, you say it's "Just another asterisk." Sure is good enough for you to want your team to win though, huh?

Spurfan90210 please elaborate. It usually takes 3 posts explaining the same thing for me to understand.

Sorry bro..just annoys the out of me.

You wouldn't call it an asterisk if the Lakers won it, tbh..again another guy who hasn't watched a Spurs game all year. Boring? One of the top assists teams, highlights all season, averaging a of a lot more points than your Lakers..but yeah..boring as . We'll bore you right to another Trophy. And what kind of sore ass loser calls a championship an asterisk? We all played the same amount of games, same amount of playoff games, and had the same amount of time to practice. No difference than a normal season. So if they shorten the season to say...70 games, one day, instead of 82, would every season from then on be an asterisk, because it's not 82 games? Just curious as to what you think about that.

Yes I would, this is an asterisk season. A chip is a chip, but this one came from a shortened and compacted season. If LAL wins, asterisk. If Spurs win, asterisk. If Heat win, asterisk. I called this season an asterisk before it started, not because I thought LAL wouldn't win anything nah, just because it is.

Spurs are boring to me, obviously not to you. I watch their games sometimes, they are boring for me. It's not a knock, it's just a simple opinion that very many people share.

Still doesn't make sense..everyone played the same amount of games...no asterisk, imo..but you're welcome to your opinion. Not sure how the Spurs are boring to you...they share the ball better than anyone in the league and have 2 of the top passing big men in the league, and score more points than anyone except Denver. Is LA boring to you as well? Just curious.

Not making assumptions..you said your top team that you would want to win the le is the Lakers, but yet when it comes down to SA, you taint the le by saying it's an asterisk le.

Sit down, Nugget fan...you have no part in a discussion about les.

[rayjayjohnson]

what, so because it's an asterisk he doesn't want any one to win?

you're digging yourself into an asterisk-shaped hole.

[Juggity]

Well, seeing that he posted that comment next to the Spurs, I'd say you can't read.

Or it could be that I was pointing out the inaccuracy of his statement when applied as he applied it. Imo

It's a shortened season and a crammed season. To me that's an asterisk, but if you want to say it's not then I'm not going to argue otherwise.

You're acting like I'm saying the Spurs play bad or something. They play solid basketball, but still are boring to me. I like watching LAL because you never know what you get. Is Bynum going to beast? Will Peace beat somebody up? Is Kobe going to shoot lights out? Will savior pass or score this time? They are an unpredictable team and that's what makes it fun to watch.

[Frenzy]

Spurs fan you mad? ha jeeze. Dude just about every team has a lable. Spurs boring is just another. Lakers bandwagon...they don't have real fans etc.. opinions all the same. Spurs fans won't see it as boring and lakerfan won't think they are bandwagon fans. But it is what it is.

Stop this around

I called this le an asterisk from day 1, I just threw it in my list for s and giggles.

I guess I just don't get the whole asterisk thing..and that's fine. To me, an asterisk next to a ring makes it tainted. States that something happened to give them an advantage. And when it comes to entertainment, I guess we just think of different basketball. You're looking for a movie, I'm looking for good team basketball.

You're not reading my post properly. Never said you haven't called this an asterisk season all year. I was just saying you wanted the Lakers to win it, but then called it tainted by saying it was an asterisk season. But that was before you admitted to wanted the Lakers to win it, asterisk or not. My bad on that. I'm sure you did call it an asterisk season all year...I don't know you to be a liar.

that's precisely why lebron will ring this year. everyone will forever call it half a le.

it's poetic. it's written in the stars.

The asterisk doesn't taint the team, though. It simply means the le was won under unusual cir stances such as a shortened season.

I want good team basketball, but I want some drama & flash in it. The playoffs are supposed to bring out real emotions and fire. Spurs - Nets is an example of a boring finals. I thought the Magic - Lakers finals was kind of boring, but because LAL is my team I enjoyed it nevertheless.

This is what I love

Fixed the video for you...yeah...Spurs/Nets was boring. But that wasn't this Spurs team..this is a completely different style of team.

Yeah I want Lakers to win it, it will be an asterisk, but , it puts us at the Green Devil. I'm a fan, I always want Lakers to win the le.

It's not a knock on the team - it's a knock on the le.

Same coach, though. If Spurs win, it will likely be through good rotation, the players performing the way they are supposed to play and the pieces falling into place.

If Lakers won, it will be a struggle as some players will falter and others flourish. Kobe might chuck and Bynum beast. Gasol will pee sitting down, Artest will pull circus shots out of his ass. Both teams just win differently

[LkrFan]

Backup plan? You don't seem too confideny ray

[2pac > Kobe]

1. Celtics
2. Bulls
3. Spurs

Celtic spurs final would be amazing
