the whole asterisk thing is stupid tbqh, especially when comparing situations where all teams were affected equally
the only time that asterisks make any sense is when major injuries clearly affect the outcome, such as 2015 warriors and 2019 raptors for some recent examples
regardless it's not the winning teams fault. no surprises there, they just went out an beat teams they were supposed to beat by shooting some shots and making more than their opponent.
but that's about the only situation where there is an unfair advantage that benefits one team and clearly affects the outcome. less games, bubble, that's all the same for everyone
