Nobody cares tbh
Might as well have played against Steph Curry’s Davidson team, with all these injuries
:
The asterisk goes to the KD era Warriors every other year.
People giving away asterisks like Oprah around here.
If they win the last game they play, it doesn't matter. History only remembers the ring.
No, i just gave away a couple, not 20.
that .
GSW beat spurs when kawhi went down, beat houston when cp3 went down.
The warriors have three players who won All-NBA honours and a FMVP.
Warriors were literally the biggest offenders of this the past few years. How many injured teams did they conveniently face in every one of their runs?
But Kawhi haters only wanna focus on this series.
They remind me of the '06 Heat or the '11 Mavs. Basically a team lead by 1 superstar playing on god mode while the role players played out of their asses.
06 heat had the refs.
Finals is not over yet, Raptors should close the deal first. But Warriors intentionally injured Kawhi two years ago. Karma is .
Serves the Warriors right. KD joining them was the Move of the decade in the NBA..
Seeing them coming out and geting torched by J Simmons in game 1 of their first KD season was as fun as watching a good finals game.
Definitely. This thread just reeks of bitterness. Warriors built their semi-dynasty on injured teams while having a remarkable run of health in the playoffs. This is just them getting their comeuppance
The warriors has gotten lucky every year so there's plenty of asterisks. In 2015, they played a injured grizzlies and cavs team. Not to mention playing the rockets after the clippers disintegrated in the semifinals. In 2017, they got lucky with the Parker, David lee and Kawhi injury when playing the spurs. In 2018 they got lucky due to load management sitting out when he could have played as well, Boogie tearing his achilles and Chris Paul having his quad ruptured. Things could have gone a lot different if their opponents were healthy.
Yeah i'm glad Karma actually caught up with the Warriors. They owed one for the Zaza bull . It's just the Cosmos bringing things back into balance.
Yeah that karma is a sonofa , isn’t it?
Two championships and three consecutive Finals appearances... go get ‘em, karma! That’ll show ‘em.
Heat beat the Pistons,Bulls,Nets fairly during that run. All 3 of those teams had their chances to take them out but couldn't put them out. You can argue the phantom foul Wade got at the end of game 5 was undeserving but outside of game 5 the Mavs had their chances to beat them. They were up I think 14 points in the 4th with 4 minutes left in game 3 but they choked that lead and the Heat ended up winning that game. Had the Mavs won that game they go up 3-0. The mavs in game 4 just flat out got out played and was curb stomped by the Heat.
With their Super Stacked team they should have had 4 Championships. So if they end up 2 for 4 i'd say that's Karma. Calm down. What are you a Warrior Superfan or something? lol
Lol nope. I’m rather enjoying watching the Raptors being on the verge of winning, partly to see a new champ, partly because Draymond has been so smug. But karma to me would have been one of their stars getting injured in the same playoffs Kawhi got injured ruining their le hopes that year, not two les and three Finals later lol.
Lol karma...
Do any of Golden State's last 3 championships not have an asterisk, tbh? One thing's for sure, they are amazingly clutch when it comes to their toughest opponent's key player getting injured just when they need it most.
2015 Finals: Kyrie with season ending injury near the end of game 1 after torching GS. Cavs on track to win in ot if not for the injury. May have won series.
2017 WCF: Kawhi with season ending injury in game 1 after torching GS. Spurs on track to win g1 if not for injury. May have won series.
2018 WCF: CP3 with season ending injury after leading his team up 3-2. Rockets on track to win series if not for the injury.
2019 Finals: Raptors on track to win series. Injury TBD.

People frequently forget that the grizzlies were leading 2-1 before Tony Allen and Mike Conley were injured. They could have been knocked out in that series before playing the depleted cavs who was without Kevin Love and Kyrie.
