[Official] [Serious] Do you respect the NBA Bubble Championship?

[1987_Lakers]

The Heat were one shot away from being in the finals literally 8 months ago.

Damn

[Keno]

no home court advantage for any team.
no fans to pressure into missing free throws, clutch shots, etc.

it was an even playing field across the board, if anything it showed true talent and the best players in the game came out on top.

[ImKobe]

Not as much as a regular one. It's still a championship but it comes with some asterisks as we all pointed out prior to that Playoff run. Bran and AD have shown that they can't play a full season + Playoffs so they needed the bubble (and the whole off-season's worth of rest prior to it) more than any other team in the league. That's clearly an advantage you wouldn't get under normal circumstances. Not only that, but 3 of their 4 opponents sustained major injuries so it's not like they went through a gauntlet either.

Life is far too short to waste energy feeling a certain way or arguing about such things.

AD’s major injury issues didn’t start until after the bubble. Fuming.

Beuh what, name those 3 teams

[ImKobe]

Beuh what, name those 3 teams

Dame got injured in the 1st rd, Nurkic was out 16 months prior to the bubble as well
Westbrook quad injury + COVID
Bam & Dragic injured in the Finals

AD’s major injury issues didn’t start until after the bubble. Fuming.

I coulda swore y'all called him injury prone before that run.. even though he had been relatively healthy for about 3-4 years prior to joining the Lakers.

[1987_Lakers]

Dame got injured in the 1st rd

Damn got injured when the series was already 3-1 you dumb ****. Basically over. Nurkić played the entire series and averaged 14/10/4 in the series and averaged 18/10 in 8 games right before the playoff bubble began

It must have broke your heart LeBron was able to have a better playoff performance in his first appearance as a Laker than Kobe did in 20 years. Which is why you left this forum after "your team" won a title.

I swear braindead is an understatement when you refer to that retard

If the bubble ring was so easy then how come any other team didn't win? So, basically what haters are saying every single team other than the Lakers are so atrocious that they couldn't even win a ring in the easiest conditions ever, bunch of losers.

Truth is they all participated and lost. Lakers won under the hardest conditions ever played in the NBA and won!The other players said it was the hardest circumstances they ever faced, no family around, no public cheering them on, etc.

Dame injured his hand when the series was tied 1 - 1..

Lebron wasn't even the best player on the team all RS + the first 3 rounds of the POs. Of course he froze out AD to steal the FMVP once Heat were down 2 of their 3 best players lol and got outplayed by Jimmy Butler in the Finals. Lebron also didn't play a single elite defensive team considering that Bam got injured early in the Finals and he coasted off the defensive attention that teams were showing AD.

DRTG ranks

Portland - 28th
Houston - 14th
Denver - 16th
Heat - 11th + Bam got injured in the Finals

[1987_Lakers]

Dame injured his hand when the series was tied 1 - 1..

And despite that, he still dropped 34/5/7 in game 3. It was an injury to his non shooting hand.

You're weak ass hell.

I remember you calling the Heat garbage and Jimmy Butler a "bubble fluke". Then you were on his nuts last postseason, praising him constantly.

Fake fan.

Butler proved me wrong last year and I gave him props for it.

Idk why you had to add the last bit in there, everyone here knows you're a fake Laker fan, you don't need to sign your posts .

That's not saying much. You are often wrong.
