Let’s establish this now: Does this season count?

[Buckeye Fever]

Man, it is gonna be funny as hell watching the trophy ceremony and you wont see the crowd in the background

A preseason game vs the Cavs and Wizards would have a better atmosphere than game 7 of the finals in 2020

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

It counts unless the Lakers win

Lol if the lakers lose and kawahi and the clips win, I'm sure there'll be a large fan base suddenly saying it doesn't count.

First player to lead 3 different teams to a championship...Kawhi Leonard

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Ring pops getting handed out to the winners

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

this is dumb as hell though

just because you nerds don’t want a certain team to win means y’all don’t decide if it “counts” or not.

the whole world shut down for something we’ve never experienced before. Be happy y’all are getting sports back in the first place

You mean like how Shaq doesn't count Duncan's cause of the strike.. Or fans as a collective, shyt on Bill Russell's 11 cause of the time period, even though all teams had the same chances...

You been here since 2017 breh.. You really taking this thread to heart like fans don't have these discussions. No, the NBA is not going to care what we think. But nobody actually cares what the Coli thinks about anything, yet here we are, giving our opinions daily..

It's just a message board fam. Relax

Was there an asterisk when the Warriors beat that Cavs without Kyrie and Love?

To me there is an asterisk.

Its why I have zero respect for the pre-KD Warriors. I never viewed them as a legit champion.

 

[THE 101]

It counts, but you're deluded if you think it counts as much as a normal championship.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

No fans isn’t going to hurt that much

y’all dudes really think we that important

The sports that have come back have shown us that the teams that are the best with fans are still the best without em. The trash teams are the same.

How you get busted on the court and your excuse gonna be “the fans wasn’t here to cheer “

That sound soft as hell


if you didn’t keep yourself in shape that’s your fault

you step on the court in any situation and you healthy it’s game on. No asterisk

 

[Piff Perkins]

Y'all assuming this finishes. When then pos tests come flying we'll see. But if it completes it counts because it happened

People are being delusional about sports. I agree that positive corona cases are gonna shut a sport down. I'd bet on football moreso than basketball but we'll see. These guys won't be following strict protocols. They'll be flying thots in, hanging around the city etc and catch that shyt...at which point you gotta quarantine the entire team.

 

[Loose]

Nah

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Calling bullshyt on it. Being so far removed from the season makes it basically the Summer League

I’ve been saying the winner of this should just get a certificate of completion, not a trophy

Adam Silver is not even gonna be down there in Disney to hand them a trophy, it’s gonna be Micky Mouse and Goofy

 

[The_Third_Man]

Wasn’t talking about regular season vs playoffs. Was talking about no fans making it no pressure. Shaq makes 95 out of 100 free throws in practice. Once there’s a crowd he shoots 40 percent

I know, man. I know

I meant playoffs/finals = more pressure

Bron been playing on national TV and in front of fans since he was 17 years old. I think he's used to it.

 

[Greenhornet]

if this season counts we might as well play only 20 games from here on out

 

[Controversy]

Here's my thing

the nba offseason is usually like 4 months right?

the Rona would've sidelined teams for 4 months

This is basically like a new season

whoever wins, I won't respect bc it's basically an 8 game reg season at this point

You think the pressure for players comes more from fans sitting in the stands than the circumstances of a game that actually counts where each point determines if you win/lose?

 

[BlackAchilles]

They can count it officially but I'll always know its a huge outlier
