then might as well call every le asterisk le. How many contenders did the 3peat lakers beat??
most les there are only 2-3 contenders and most times each one faces 1 or none.
At the start of these playoffs it looked like it was going to be great, rose and the bulls were on the road to the ECF and so where the heat with thier big 3 was going to challange them. Then in the west nobody knew what would happen, there's always a chance the spurs lose any series, the thunder might play the lakers or the nuggs. There was a legitamite 8 teams that could make the finals.
Now? There's about 2 real contenders, the spurs and the thunder.Rose got hurt, bosh got hurt, the clips saved the spurs, the thunder, the lakers never had time to prep, Boston has to play the 76ers, and the heat are about to lose to the pacers. The way it looks the WCF will be the best playoff series.
These teams have obviously been watered down, if we had the normal schedual everything would be a lot different so I think this should be an asterisk le. Even if the spurs win because honestly they're probably going to play just 1 real contender.

OP had a great point, no significant injuries happens in 82-game seasons.
Good point OP. All the teams played the same amount of games with the same amount of preparation. But hey, whatever makes the teams sleep at night.
THANK YOU. The whole asterisk crap is so annoying. Practically every year the league champ can qualify for an asterisk le. Life happens in the playoffs, best players get hurt or miss last second shots that cause a team that isnt considered a contender to win. Stand up and have some pride for your team that has a great shot at a championship.
I think the spurs will play a very formidable opponent should they make the finals. Boston or indiana would make a great series, and so would the heat because you cant count them out.
But a le nonetheless.
nothing to be upset about. everyone knew going into the season that it was an asterisk trophy.
lol @ anyone who es if the spurs win about injuries when it's the first time we've been 100% healthy in the playoffs since 2007
It is an asterisk le, but nobody remembers that in the grand scheme, tbh..
Exactly.
If this year is an asterisk le due to injuries, then every year the Spurs weren't 100% are asterisk les for the teams that didn't have to face a healthy Spurs.
gee, spur fans all the time about injuries to spurs.
No such thing as an asterisk le.
have I told you Tim Donaghy's favorite Tommy Nunez story yet?
5 les is 5 les.
I will ing take it!
Ill take that and do this
Needless to say Pop is an amazing coach navigating through this landline of injurys this season. I'd be overjoyed if the spurs won but a fact is a fact, the talent pool left in the playoffs is really low.
Everyone who thought it wasn't going to be an asterisk le even before the season was deluding themselves. I'll still take it, however; two more asterisk les than any other team has!
Chris Paul - Hip flexor injury
Blake Griffin - sprained knee
No excuses though, we still got this.
Asterisks are for pussies and assholes.

Asterisk les are a myth.
Does anyone know what makes winning a le or any meaningful award an asterisk?
You still have to work hard to be in a position to win anything.
For example, take a car race, if you are running second and the first car runs out of fuel or has some sort of mechanical problems, does that mean the second place car gets an asterisk next to his win collum? If that was the case then I'm afraid most of their wins would be asterisk wins.
Injuries, circustances are all part of the equation. Get the out of here with that excuse.
There are no excuses in sports.
This season had an asterisk at the very beginning. Won't change the size of the le in the trophy case.
I guess we need to also asterisk the les of the Cowboys, Steelers, Packers, and Dolphins of the 60s and 70s because they only played 14 game seasons.
Like to see someone tell Mean Joe Green he's an asterisk, even today.
Culburn was a trend setter.
He set trends.
Bill russell played against all white people his rings should be * too.
