So are we calling the 2020 Bucks title a fluke (right now)

[Wolfpac]

No such thing as a fluke title. Injuries (and sometimes other shyt) happen.

 

[mastermind]

Why do basketball fans want so hard to believe what they’re watching isn’t legitimate?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

im in agreement with that... the next year the Bulls swept Orlando but they had some issues going on.. Listen if Shaq would have stayed i could have seen Orlando winning a title he was raw but dominant

Yeah, next year was two different teams.


* Bulls had picked up Rodman who was completely dominant inside. In Game 1 against Grant he had 13 points and 21 boards while holding Grant to 0 points and 1 board. Averaged 12 and 16 on 53% shooting for the series while playing elite interior defense.

* Grant got hurt in the 3rd quarter of Game 1 and was out the rest of the series

* Koncak was supposed to be Grant's replacement but was playing injured and had to get cortisone injections before tipoff just to be able to play. He was a shytty player anyway, Grant had played 42 minutes/game in '95 cause Magic didn't really have a backup for him.

* Shaw got hurt in Game 2 and was out the rest of the series

* Anderson got hurt in Game 3 and was out the rest of the series, plus he was already playing like absolute dogshyt anyway since he had been shooting horrible ever since choking in the '95 Finals gave him the yips



Shaq (27-11-4 and 2 blocks/game on 64% shooting) and Penny (26-4-4 on 47% shooting) were actually playing at an elite level, but their supporting cast was wrecked. In '95 they had basically played a 7-man rotation and the 7th man sucked ass. In '96 they lost their #3, #5, and #6 men and that doomed them.

Nah, these last 8 years or so we can make legit arguments that injuries absolutely swung titles

2015 - No Kyrie no K love. Lebron and a bunch of coli nikkas lose to the warriors

2016 - Dumb ass Dray got suspended, but iggy was hurt and steph was "hurt" in the playoffs. Cavs win title

2018 - Cp3 gets hurt in game 5 and Harden chokes like a dog. Warriors win title

2019 - KD got hurt again and klay got hurt. Raptors win title

2020 - bubble bubble lebron got a 4 month break

2021 - harden got hurr, greek injured kyrie. Kahwi ripped his knee up. Bucks win title

2022 - Middy got hurt, kyrie refused to get vax, embeed broke his face, Morant hurt. Warriors likely to win title

Shut up

[Tribal Outkast]

You can’t call a title a fluke because they didn’t win the next year lol. That’s crazy

 

[Phantum]

No

 

[Phantum]

Y’all too old for this shyt .

I remember having these retarded discussions in the 5th grade

 

[concise]

Skip & SAS birthed a generation

Birthed? More like brainwashed.

 

[staticshock]

they didn't have middleton

also budenholzer is such a overrated coach, dude always allow teams to hit wide open 3s and got burned this whole series

i don’t agree with this breh. Coach Bud has a title and an amazing record & he wins every where he is. He won 60 games with the Hawks without a superstar & had us in the eastern conference finals..Bud is legit

Wrong year and did you forget Giannis was injured too?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Wrong year and did you forget Giannis was injured too?

against the lowly hawks? Nah

 

[EarlyEarly]

Basketball fans are weird. Who has real championships then?

 

[Luke Cage]

The league is finally competive enough where we might have different teams making the finals each year and people are complaining because one or two teams aren't dominating and going to the finals every year.

 

[The Don]

against the lowly hawks? Nah

Doesn’t matter he still was part of the injury bug
