Lou Williams confirms the Bubble chip was fraudulent

[Xiao Yao You]

You're one of those lucky idiots who didn't lose anyone significant so you can dismiss the pandemic. Meanwhile some of us wish we could have the people back we lost. Some people were luckier than others for sure but it wasn't a season flu. They had screening protocols in place for the bubble. All this was reported in real time because the NBA was the only league operating at the time weren't they? And it worked.

[r15mohd]

Of course, they were the best team in the league, many players and teams didn’t even want to go to the bubble to play. The only people that gave a shit was old LeBron on his last legs and last opportunity for a championship with a smoking Anthony Davis that that season. And they always competitive Jimmy Butler. Nobody gave a shit. Understandably so, this was still 6 1/2 months into the first year of the pandemic. When at least there were overtures of it being semi real, no atmosphere, no travel, no pressure, no fans. It was a pick up basketball game.

lebron wanted to squash the season, lakers were in favor of ending it completely too

Oh, I’m sorry do you know me, or know who I’ve lost in my life, pandemic related or not?

No, so shut the hell up you, ghetto clown.

Of course, an idiot like you would buy everything that’s being sold to you from the leftist media. You’re relying on those government handouts. It’s a seasonal flu, with a mortality rate similar to a regular seasonal flu. And the people that did pass away whether I knew them, or somebody else knew them, they were in really piss poor health to begin with.

Not to mention a lot of the deaths for Covid were classified as Covid being the reason, for governmental funding, kick backs and resourcing.

Educate yourself, you moron.

I forgot you're one of these conspiracy idiots. Ignoring the stupid political argument O will just point out that the players were not forced to go to the bubble. They chose to go so that they could complete the season and hopefully compete for a championship. Teams were competing hard. You thinking they didn't care in spite of all that is just further proof that you're a nut.

I worked at a hospital during the pandemic, I have better insight into it than your dumbass. You’re just one of these moronic libtards.

No, he didn’t. Him and Chris Paul were two of the figureheads in wanting to do it.

What more could one expect from a racist piece of shit. I don't have to know you to see how you blew off the pandemic as a "seasonal flu" as I said maybe that was how it went for a lucky idiot like yourself. It did.not go that way for everyone But hey how could anyone expect a bitch ass dude like yourself to have a compassionate view of anything but Mjs ****. The government didn't sell me funerals, or give me a damn thing except tax bills for owning shit. Yes majority of the people who passed had health issues, and some were perfectly healthy like one I lost. Making broad statements for something like this again is stupid not to mention insensitive. Your kind are the worst of humanity. You should stick to telling us about Jordan's ****, that's the only area of expertise you possess here.

You work at a hospital and yet learned nothing from anything the various doctors working there would have told you. You couldn't possibly be dumber. Must be cleaning toilets.

Hey hey hey let's show a lil more respect to a certified coach and ding-a-ling forensics specialist.

If LA were the ones who blew a 3-1 lead and later on LeBron said the same thing Lou did, you'd bring it up everyday on here. You just need to accept that James is the GOAT and move on.... you'll sleep better and maybe even bring your blood pressure down.

he initially stated he didnt want to play - and only after the pitch from the NBA was there reconsideration, with Silver laying out plans for isolated games at ESPN Orlando, safety precautions etc.

and i like how you insinuated it being Lebron and CP3 decision alone, CP3 was head of the NBAPA and this meeting had many of the leagues high earners (not just Lebron) listening in and coming to a unanimous decision

You're a retard, there's tons of media coverage on it and he never had surgery because he got a 2nd opinion form a guy who said he could recover without it. It's always fun to watch contradictions in real time, you will believe any negative rumor on him at face value but ignore common sense and sometimes your own eyes and ears to disparage the man. That's an illness.

[guy]

I wouldn't call it fraudulent, but just cause there were no advantages and it was an even playing field, it doesn't mean it wasn't "different" and it arguably should be looked at differently. You can argue it should be looked at as easier or harder, but still different. The format of the season/playoffs was just way too out of wack compared to your typical year.

Put it like this, this is an extreme example but lets just say the season/playoffs changed to a format of 10 regular season games, and 2 playoff rounds (so only 4 teams make the playoffs) and its just a single game for each round. There would still be a championship. And there would be no unfair advantages. But no in their right mind would look at that championship and compare it to the 2008 Celtics playoff run for example. Its an extreme example, but same logic applies. Its just a vastly different situation.

Its an accomplishment. Same way winning the in season tournament is considered an accomplishment, but its not the same. Lebron had already won 3 championships so this question never came up, but if someone like Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, Tatum, Harden, Butler, Luka, Dame got to win their first title in the bubble, do you really think they aren't going to feel the pressure to win another under a normal season's circumstance knowing that this championship wasn't the same? The fans/media will for sure feel like they should.

[ILLsmak]

Bubble was like the lock out. Honestly, the NBA has been clown show for awhile. I think they are working on it with Silver talking about making people try in the ASG again and going away from that captain format. Add Covid on top of the clown show and it's just like eyy.

The Bubble. It's even a clown name.
