CK4: The Team that made Pat & The Team that the Don made: The Miami Heat vs Your Boss Angeles Lakers

[SchoolboyC]

The argument in here about superteams is pointless.

There is no concrete definition of what a superteam is, so therefore it is a subjective label that can mean different things to different people. Some people may say the Lakers are a superteam because they have two top 5 players, some may say they're not because they don't have as much high level talent like the Warriors did. Either way, you can't really say either are wrong because again, this is subjective.

Nah dont come with that shyt. Superteams was always used to refer to teams with 3 or more allstars. The shaq and kobe lakers were never called a superteam.

Was the term even around in the early 2000s?

Furthermore, you know that literally anybody can create and edit Wikipedia pages right?

They literally give a disclaimer at the top of the page that it's possibly written from a fan's perspective instead of a neutral (i.e. it is subjective instead of objective), and that it doesn't include information from credible sources

I'm not even arguing that the Lakers should be called one, I'm saying it's pointless to argue over a label that anyone can define for themselves.

It's not about superteams. It's that Miami wasn't on their level to begin with and now they also got people hurt. Low key Brad Stevens gotta take a hit because while nobody really expected Boston in the finals this year, the door was open and they should have been able to get through a series with the Heat after the Bucks did their annual choke job.

goran dragic and the heat doctors would be crazy to consider even letting him play again in this series

Celtics should have won but let's keep it a buck, the outcome in this series wouldn't have been much different. AD would've feasted against Theis, Kanter and whatever small forwards got put on him. And LeBron has shytted on this team so many times over the past decade that I'm damn near numb to it. Nevermind that Rondo always goes off against us too ever since he got traded.

At least the C's got young wings to throw at him and a few scorers who can go off and create on their own.

Tonight should be a closer game with Bam and maybe Dragic reurning

Heat were down by 30 when they were playing in game 1.

Who are these people?

Because if it's just the same talking heads and the generality of people finding fault in every team, well then......

If motherfukkers didn’t say the Lakers were a super team before oct 16 2019

I'm sure he's not playing. No way anyone can be effective after tearing a plantar fascia less than a week ago. This looks like tactics by Miami to keep LA wondering how to prepare. They reaching already.

Every wing you have would have gotten thrashed worse than this Heat team.

When the C's lose it's close. They don't get down by 30+ to any team, bubble year will be remembered for some great games and performances from Murray, Spida, etc. but also the year where the finals were

If they lost two of their best players in the first game, yes they would have gotten washed by 20+ losing Goran and Bam is about the same as losing Tatum and brown. Now you have inconsistent Kembaand Marcus smart chucking up a bunch of shots(which he probably would have done anyway)
