The way these playoffs are going it's going to be an asterisk le.

[SpursDynasty]

The 2004 NBA championship should get an asterick because the clock started late on Fisher's shot. The 2006 NBA championship should get an asterick, Dirk's foul on Duncan was not called. The 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 championships should get an asterick because the Spurs weren't healthy.

[Jacob1983]

Excluding the Spurs and Thunder, the offense has been a disaster and in pathetic. The shooting percentages and points per game averages are low and just flat out bad. I know that the offense is usually bad in shortened seasons but the offense is ty. Just look at the scores of these games at halftime. Some teams not even scoring 40 points after two quarters.

[mavsfan1000]

Another asterisk. Just like 99. 2 false seasons that don't count.

[Spur_Fanatic]

Tell them, mavsfan1000!

The remaining teams should be like the Mavs, and just quit.

suprising you beat the son to this thread

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.

I want this asterisk le so I could afford not to give a what happens next year

*Popovich is the smartest coach in the NBA!

[Spursfan092120]

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.

Not to mention all the injuries..Manu was out, Tim was hurting. We could have given a LOT of people asterisk les over the last 13 or so years.

Just had to say ...

... Excellent post, Shadowflames.

[fevertrees]

The Spirit had more team destroying injuries than any of the current playoff teams. Yall s lucky the Spirit didn't lock up a bottom seed and up the playoffs!

[The_Worlds_finest]

U s forget ginobili had surgery with screws placed in his hand, and missing 20 games.

[The_Worlds_finest]

An asterisk le would be where the opposing team in the finals plane crashed and the entire team died, this concept is to hard for you ass hats to comprehend

I think its possible we could have an * next to our le. But I doubt it. Good thread starter though.

Of course. It's pretty futile to argue with yourself.

OP stating the obvious. Although I might give Miami the credit it deserves if they win it... cause odds are even if the season was 82 they would win anyway. But Boston, OKC, Indiana, and sa??? Nah...they winning it all would be a direct result of this flukey azz season.

[dbreiden83080]

The record books should state all NBA les go to Jordan and the Bulls..

champions forever...
