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

[Don Homer]

And that’s my problem. Ppl want us to think that Kyrie and Loves loss was a big deal, but Dragic and Bams injuries being “not that important to the outcome”. They won’t keep it Even Steven.

Because Bron is involved

Tell me why jimmy butler ain’t get not even one FMVP vote for his efforts but Bron was close to winning after losing the series off the same exact narrative

Rings won't have an asterisk

 

[Green Ranger]

nikkas don’t like sports that much on here. They like the gossip that surrounds it

Expect a Skip & Shannon 20 minute talk on this and Shannon trashing Pat
Without doing any real research on this just so he can run down Pat and Lebron while Skip just
It’s not even sports it’s media in general everything is TMZ gossip

Hope Pat realize that first Heatles chip got an asterisk too then

how?

how?

Shortened season

See how easy that was...you can add an asterisk for anything if you want

It's hilarious how the reception of the Warriors winning in 2015 is the EXACT opposite to the Lakers winning in 2020. All cats could talk about was how the Warriors title deserved an asterisk because Kyrie and Love were injured, and yet a similar scenario occurs with Dragic and Bam being injured and now it's...

Add in bubble season

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

what I was about to say

Bron fans been using the "but they were injured" since 15

No way to twist this around, but Bron stans are gonna find a shameful way to do it

Meh... Problem with this is the Lakers can play the same game and claim that if they would of had their best perimeter defender in Avery Bradley they would have swept them




LeBron keeps this old CAC Riley in his feels tho ..you hate to see it from such a legendary figure

But Bam actually played 4 games and Dragic in 2 ..compromised or not


Love and Kyrie had 1 game between both of them ... I'm sure LeBron would have loved to get both of those guys for the same amount of on court time as the heat players got



LMAO @ This pathetic reach comparison ..of course intiated by the Head Grifter in Charge @GimmickScott-Heroin

I was waiting on what he was gon say or do after taking the L against Bron of all people. The old "Don" wouldn't even think let alone talk like this. Time must be getting closer and closer for the woodshed.

dragic didnt play the full game 1 he was injured around the 1st Q that nikka played only 1 full game. Bam and Jimmy got injured to by the first half. Game 1 was practically gifted to the Lakers.


if kyrie and love went through the same predicament with their injuries, they would have been a burden even more so given their defensive prowess, kyrie/love would have been attacked constantly by GW. Cavs wouldnt have been able to push it to 6 like they did.
