At least Pat is keeping the same energy that all y'all had with Kyrie/Love in 2015.

Thing is, you could argue the Heat benefitted greatly from the bubble. They were bad all season long prior to the suspension when playing in front of road crowds. One could definitely question whether they win 3 series without homecourt in a normal setting to even get to the Finals.

But they were handed the same cards as everyone else in the restart. The point though, is that opening up asterisk talk is a slippery slope for Riley.
