Pat Riley: “Lakers beat us fair and square, but there’s always going to be that asterisk”

[Flex Luger]

Post cartoons to argue against Pat Riley’s point, autistic brehs

One coached a lakers dynasty, the other is a nobody on an internet forum who has been arguing in this thread all day



*******************

This nikka in his feelings bad

Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings breh. It’ll be okay.

And nobody is arguing but you. I’ve been laughing at you this evening.

 

[Hersh]

lalers just won the hardest chip on history..

 

[Animal House]

Didn’t MJ beat the Lakers who had key players hurt



And there’s no talk about a asterisk

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

That's because:

1. The Heat wouldn't have gotten there under normal circumstances.
2. The Heat most likely would've lost anyways.
3. Cleveland would have won.
4. Last time I checked, Bam still played most of the series.
5. It was getting ugly in Game One before they both went down.

My bro, all of this couldn't be further from the truth (#1, #2 and #3 are irrelevant and conjecture). It speaks volumes about how your perception of what happened and how the series would've turned out is all fitting around this notion that the series' in question are different in nature, by trying to overlay some superficial differences.

Both the 2015 and 2020 Finals are similar to the point where the same reception should be kept for both winning teams, except we can clearly see that it is not the case.

Don’t worry Miami will definitely be back in the finals next season

If you’re bringing up the warriors it lets me know how you really feel about this AAU shortened season no fans asterisk title
The warriors won a title in a full normal season, not this glorified freak show nobody gives a shyt about **********

A Warriors fan knows a thing or two about asterisks.

2015: Conley misses three games in the playoffs, Love and Kyrie miss the entire series
2018: CP3 misses two games after Rockets go up 3-2

Hence why KD is still on twitter crying about his fraudulent rings. Lakers are the first one seed to win a title without HCA

How? Are you suggesting that the Cavs/Warriors weren't comparably matched or that the Heat/Lakers were comparably matched? There wasn't as much of a talent discrepancy with the former as there was with the latter.

This board is still talking about the warriors who haven’t played since March, ask me how I know they had you furious for years

meanwhile nobody cares about this asterisk goofy ass title and lebron was up there begging for respect he knows in his heart nobody will give him

imagine kobe begging for respect after ring 4 embarrassing tacky AAU title

 

[Flex Luger]

Nikka still in here crying behind his phone/computer screen

 

[Crayola Coyote]

The series was 4-2 what asterisks

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Crazy part is that Riley's team clearly benefitted from the bubble more than anyone else. They would have been giving up home court advantage in every series...no way they running through those teams that easy if most of their games were on the road. Plus due to the COVID situation the Lakers lost a starter who had been playing really well....but only losing Dragic counts, not Bradley?

If anything it was the 1-seeds that got screwed by not getting their home court advantage that they had fought all season for...but Riley wants an asterisk for injury shyt that happens almost every year.

 

[Left.A1]

more.. but its negated by the fact given that Mozgov was a big help for the cavs to put up a fight against GS and their small ball play

Thank you sir ...the additional Juelzing wasn't necessary

Heat didnt have someone like that that could help to fill in the absence with Goran , they had it for Kelly with Bam but he didnt play in game 1 nor in 2 if im not mistaken

1.Bam played 4 games ... Love played 0 Kyrie played 1 ... They didn't need someone to "fill in the absence for bam" like the Cavs did Irving and Love because he actually PLAYED nikka


2. Who the hell filled in the absence of Kyrie missing 5 games


What in the fukk am I reading

And they were a burden hence why i said that. Bam was half what he was when he got back and clogged shyt up for Jimmy, and Goran was a liability defensively in game 6

Goran is always a defensive liability nikka ... did you just start watching nba basketball yesterday


Bam has never been a 3 point shooter ...he's not a defense stretcher.. Healthy or not ... how would he avoid "clogging shyt up" under any circumstance

Either way unlike the Cavs with Kyrie and Love their coach had the OPTION to put in players that were more favorable matchups if he wished ... because THEY WERE AVAILABLE TO PLAY nikka

if kevin and kyrie went through the same thing Cavs would have most likely lost in 4 or 5.

Based on what

Its only a "embarassing comparsion" to you who seems to not have a well functioning brain

Yes Its embarrassing that you're doubling down on this bimbo babble... quite in fact

and yes they were better with backups that were good defensively and had size, than having their INJURED 2nd and third best players who are not that good defensively first off, who would serve as nothing but weak links.

this is not rocket science

And there you have it folks ... hey cant even make his initial argument anymore because its been clearly shown to be comparatively illogical so now the new talking point is to insinuate that "the Cavs would have been better without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love anyways" because "its not rocket science"



This is what happens when you're reduced to grifting and agenda posting ... you humiliate yourself in true Coli.Basketball.Expert fashion

@Left.A1 is getting dragged up and down in this thread. Embarrassing.

Well well well ... to no ones surprise look who's shamelessly endorsing this blatant chicanery


@GimmickScott-Herion right on queue

Yet you and the rest of the Warriors contingency have been crying about this "asterisk" ring for over two weeks. Warriors fans are salty because their championship window closed when KD went to Brookyln.

And rich for a Warriors fan to talk about a lack of respect. KD, the player your star players begged to join your team to beat Bron, continues to cry about the lack of respect for his two fraudulent rings

Back to back rings on full season with fans = fraudulent

Walt Disney world AAU tourney with no fans and a shortened season = legit

Imagine typing something that stupid and thinking you made a valid point Your autism isn’t your fault, all the stupidity you’re exposing falls on the shoulders of those two idiots you call parents

And who did the lack of fans benefit? The team that spent the entire season as the top seed only for HCA not to exist? Your dumbass is failing to realize that by following your logic the Lakers were the most disadvantaged top seed in the history of sports and still won

You San Francisco Asian cats get way too hoemotional talking about your fraudulent team . You know damn well I'd smack the taste out of your bytch ass if you ever mustered up the courage to talk with such disrespect
