When Bosh and Wade was injured...

[SpaceJammeR]

no one sad sh!t about other teams having an asterisk if they won against miami. and haters were happy about it because they just wanted miami to lose.:lol well too bad because miami still won with them injured. 3 peats coming fakkits:rockon: :rockon:

[TylerOO]

Spurs are still gonna be a problem. Ibaka injury is irrelevant, Spurs were beating OKC either way.

no they weren't..Thunder own the Spurs. Go read the fear Spurs fans have the Thunder on spurstalk:lol

[imdaman99]

Which one of them missed entire series? And how many of them were against equally matched teams?

Bosh is out against Indiana, is it still a sure win for Miami?

[WindmiLL]

Yea, Lebron can only win without any help whatsoever for his chip to mean something, meanwhile those saying that are now on Durant's bandwagoon who is being heavily carried by the refs and his teammates(Westbrook, Jackson). And yet the same people are saying Durant is on Lebron's level or even better, let's just replace Durant in OKC with Lebron and lets see what Lebron haters would be saying if he was being carried by the refs and his teammates as hard as Durant is now.

bosh, wade, and lebron joining forces was a ****in bitchass move LOL

Bosh was never a top 8 player :oldlol: . And you have 100 posts since 2011, you are irrelevant.

Nobody was saying the Spurs would have an asterisk if they won last year.

[SpaceJammeR]

my point is no one gives a shit unless it's miami. only if miami wins it's an asterisk because of blind hate for lebron and miami.

[Mr. Incredible]

There is no such thing. Miami 3 peat will be etched in stone forever.

[J Shuttlesworth]

This is a big asterisk for the spurs if they win the chip

[dude77]

I hope miami keeps winning .. 3peat 4peat ... the more they win, the less you can discredit their greatness

[NumberSix]

Exactly. No championship counts when Derrick Rose isn't playing.

[onhcetum]

This is a big asterisk for the spurs if they win the chip

get that asterisk bullshit crap outta here

was there an asterisk when duncan went down and missed the playoffs? was there an asterisk when manu broke his arm?

gtfo with this nonsense. we can get back retroactively in the past 30 years and designate asterisks

The standard Lebron is being held to is worlds ahead of anyone else in today's league, not even close

They played a fully healthy Heat team in the Finals.. :biggums:

Actually, parker was the only superstar that was really hurt in that series.. Wade was best he was all playoffs playing after those cortisone shots, Bran was perfectly healthy and so was Bosh.

So because Wade finally had a decent series that means he was healthy? :facepalm Wade was so unhealthy that he averaged 14 ppg in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs! Please explain how Wade, without any real rest before the Finals, was magically able to get healthy again. :rolleyes:

[poido123]

Probably because he has Wade and Bosh in his team, you know, the guys he joined up with when he couldn't keep his promises and get it done in Cleveland?

[AintNoSunshine]

The very fact that people actually expect him to do anything with that team, that owner speaks for my argument: people expect unrealistic shiit out of Lebron just because he's so great.

Yes cuz Wade is the same as 2010 Wade and Bosh... is Bosh

Cortisone shots and an increased sense of urgency.

Those Players Have Never Missed An Entire Series, Numb Nuts.

Those Players Have Never Missed An Entire Series, Numb Nuts.

Bosh missed 7 games, was very limited the first 2 games when he came back

[poido123]

But then you guys will expect the same unrealistic shit out of KD to win a championship without Ibaka?

Seems fair.

[poido123]

The fact that he could just slot straight back into an already very good team that can easily win without him, suggests that the loss of Bosh wasn't all that catastrophic. :confusedshrug:

[NumberSix]

It's the context that matters. If KD plays crappy and OKC is losing close games, then it's on him. Him playing well in that situation would be enough for OKC to win.

If he balls out and OKC still loses, ok. That's another story. He's only 1 guy.

[tpols]

Yea and you had Wade playing every single game dropping 40 in key spots while Bosh was out.. You do realize Dwayne Wade going off is the best second option help in the league right? Wade has always been there in the tough spots.. That's when he shows up.

[tpols]

Did you just make a non negative Okc post:wtf:

I'm an OKC hater. We all know that. I don't claim to be neutral, but I am objective.

Well then we expect KD to ball out then? If OKC loses and Durant is playing well, he gets excused. :confusedshrug:

If he plays up to MVP standards, the yes. He gets a pass. So far in the playoffs though, he has played below what you would expect of an MVP. If he continues to play poorly, there's no excuses.

What about if he plays between MVP standards and playing poorly?

[NumberSix]

You mean if he plays mediocre? Why should that get a pass?

well I mean to his averages which are still remarkeably good.

[NumberSix]

Aren't his averages like 32/6/6 on 50%?

Sure, if he does that, there is an excuse. Unless those numbers include him choking at the end of games.

[yarrak]

When Bran averaged 38/8/8 in the ECF in 2009 against the BEST defensive team in the league and got eliminated, he got a lot of criticism so no KD doesn't get a pass. I've seen lots of KD stans say that 25 year old Durant is better than all versions of LeBron. If that's the case, he should get a lot of criticism as well.

Championship or bust.

[Nuff Said]

Let's be real. You gotta give this Miami heat team credit. They beat MVP rose, fully healthy thunder with James harden (so no one can start their what if bullshit), and San Antonio albeit a hurt tp. Thunder and spurs are def the two best teams of this decade outside of Miami. Miami is proven, **** any asterisk y'all wanna claim.

No, he didn't.

LeBron only starting getting criticized (rightfully so) when he quit on the Cavs mid-series in 2010, then ran off to South Beach to stack the deck completely in his favor. Good luck getting anyone to feel sorry for him because Wade and Bosh might be a little gimpy.
