Pat Riley: “Lakers beat us fair and square, but there’s always going to be that asterisk”
- Thread starter JodyHiighroller
- Start date
Is he? Or is he using too much salt in his nasty ass second place crow dinner?
If anything, his 06 ring is bullshyt since he stole it from SVG tryna ring hop like ‘Toine and GP. Couldn’t get it done outside of LA so he needed to kick SVG to the curb to prove he could. Not to mention the most generous whistles in the history of the Finals. Bu bu but 2020 Lakers have an asterisk.
Only asterisk involving us this year is having played the heats in the first place cuz they wouldn’t have made it under non-bubble circumstances. Glad to see our opps all burning and dying slow. fukk yall
Edit: Quote is clickbait bullshyt. Shoulda known better, Riles is a Laker OG he’d never hate on us like that.

In game 1 the Lakers were up 11 and were in the midst of a big run when Dragic left the game. There were definitely close games in the series but those games were close because of the Lakers carelessness. In games 3 and 5 the Lakers had a lot of sloppy defensive miscues that were a function of taking their opponent lightly. When the Lakers were engaged defensively you saw them completely bottle the Heat up like they did in games 1, 2 and 6. The Lakers have lost a game in every round due to carelessness on defense. If Dragic and Bam were healthy I'm sure Vogel would have benched Dwight and started Caruso earlier in the series and the Lakers would have been more attentive on defense throughout the series. Dragic would have been an improvement on Nunn and Herro but he wouldn't have added any value defensively. Lebron would have hunted him the same way he hunted Robinson and Herro.The Lakers didn’t go on their huge run in a game 1, until the Dragic injury in the 2nd quarter. Up until that point it was a close back and fourth game with hella lead changes. Games 3-4-5 were all close games in which Miami either won or Miami almost won. You think it’s unreasonable to believe that with a healthy Dragic taking those Nunn and Herro minutes that Miami couldn’t have won Game 4, and potentially take a 3-2 series lead?

I make sh*t shake up in broad day
dawg all they do is say that Chip doesnt count
"steph a fraud"
"Only beat an injured cavs team"
i've seen that starting lineup the cavs had with Tristan thompson, Lebron, Mozgov, Delly, and JR and the taxt under it is "it took the warriors 6 games to beat this"
and when the warriors blew the 3-1 lead (steph's bad knee, Draymond out for a game, Bogut's injury that pretty much ended his career in america, Iguodala's back spams), they dont get the same rope they hurl to LeBron for the injuries the cavs had literally the year before
not only that, when KD came in july 2016, he was harassed by joining a 73 win team (a team they all agreed were fraudulent and illegitimate. Kyrie being better than steph was a god's honest narrative after the series).
I'm legit disappointed in Slickback.

...on the otherside of the pond
Where is the lie?Bron stans are gonan take issue with this and then say the Warriors getting injured in '16 doesnt matter,
................but then say Cavs losing in '15 doesnt count at all
its selectivity. Its corny

Agreed. It’s all corny. I’m a heat fan and I disagree with Pat. I just think it’s funny how folks in here who thought just like Pat did in 2015 are gonna hit the juelz now that their same excuses are now being used against Bron. For the record, I think Pat should shut his mouth on this one. He isn’t some random fan. He’s the GM. This looks bad.
Yall should actually look up the presser and listen to it.
Clowns are more interested in responding to quotes with no context than finding the truth.
nikkas don’t like sports that much on here. They like the gossip that surrounds it
goran played 15 mins in game 1
and came back FIVE games later off an injury that takes months to heal
Bam played game 1 and got hurt, and was garbage when he came back
Dragic is their playoff leading scorer, ofc it's a big loss
