after being basically dead in the water when the regular season was halted. Still had a winning record overall in the bubble even after LA beat them 4-1 on their way to the chip, and Houston and Denver also lost 4-1 to LA despite having much better regular season records. And Dame balled the fuck out. Not sure what he said that is under dispute.

Or the Blazer's record.

Dame's a Made Man. He should be arrested for his murder of OKC.

This post is about L McPherson's broader agenda.

play was certainly sloppy early on, but not because they didn't care about the games.

The 1 and 2 seeds in both conferences were pretty much decided, but everyone else was jockeying for position

All Stah went all asterisk crazy after the Lakers won, because they supposedly had all these advantages due to the bubble.

My contention was that the bubble provided an even playing field. If it was easy for the Lakers, it was easy for everyone else. But he then went digging for other things that are just part of the game anyways, to suppit his bubble asterisk. Clips lost because his granny passed! Lakers won because injuries!.

I considered this post as an extension of his same line of thinking on the subject, and my contention remains the same: the bubble was an even playing field, all things considered. So if they Lakers had an easy run due to the bubble, so did everyone else

Hence, my comment, which is a dig at All Stah, not Dame or anyone else.

Do you wanna have to go back and forth between Memphis and Portland or Miami and Milwaukee or do you wanna stay in one place the entire time? He isn't trying to take anything away from the victors but I am sure Laker fans are already in here acting butthurt as I'm typing this reply.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Not at all.

But this isn't a post about Dame's comments.
This is an L-Stah, Agenda War Special.

Because he spent time propping up the Clippers dogs, watched them lose in epic fashion, and then spent the rest of that playoffs trying to downplay the Lakers win. This post is an extension of that.

My take is that the playing field was as level as it could possibly be, so far as the bubble itself went. Injuries, personal issues, etc, are a different story and come with the territory, but the bubble evened things out in a lot of ways. There are certainly some things to look at in the micro, but I think it put everyone on relatively even footing.

So, while I can only speak for myself, my guess is that any negativity toward this post from Lakers fans will be more likely in regard to L Stah (he's more than earned that L since his return) and his particular angle on the subject than Dame himself, or the notion that the bubble made certain things easier.

They were essentially playing at a fancy fitness facility or the YMCA with other NBA players.

NO CROWDS

NO TRAVELING

the bubble. of course things are easier when you take away a lot of the variables. it was easier for everybody.

some teams screwed themselves up or didn't adjust well. other teams/players did great. and there were some great games.

before they always lost to GS before and 1 year to AD with the Pelicans, this year they lost to AD with Bron and it looks like that duo is going to be together for a few years.

How long before Dame “demands a trade”?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
