Bro, there was months off at the end of the season before the bubble even started. That rest before the playoffs was a Godsend. And to top it off, a bunch off Superstars decided to not even partake in the bubble. Mickey Mouse Ring 💍. Edited June 4, 2021 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As stated above They already had a huge break the end of the season... what was it... 3 to 4 months? So stop acting as they played basketball for an extra 3 months and shit. That 4 year run Kobe had in the last back to back run included a zero break stretch in between 08 and the 09 season where there there was zero breaks.... first there was the 08 finals and that VERY SAME SUMMER was Olympics which means Zero breaks, they turned around and won the chip next season..... Pau as well had zero breaks because he got to the finals in the Olympics as well.... Zero Excuses and they won. Bubble Champions couldn't deliver and got bounced in the first round of a real season. Just caught your Lakers were in control before AD got injured comment.... yet I didn't hear you not once mention that your bubble Champs defeated an injury plagued Heat team 🤣 AD was playing like trash in game 4 before he went down... 2 for 9 and he was getting worked by the suns.... when he went down suns were already leading and controlling that game. If CP3 were fully healthy Lakers would have lost in 5. As seen in game 4 and the close out... he closed it out for the suns when the Lakers were trying to come back late in the 4th. I saw this series loss coming once I saw it took the Lakers needing a desperation three to beat the warriors team of Steph alone with no other offensive threat. Lakers couldn't guard the 3 to save their lives. Edited June 4, 2021 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lakers couldn't guard the 3 to save their lives. where did i say they played an extra 3 to 4 months? what i said was they played a compacted playoff in the bubble (more games in less days), had the shortest offseason in sports history (by miles), and played a compacted regular season. again, all 4 conference finalists from last year dealt with MAJOR injuries this year. the rest they all had in spring 2020 didnt change that. your olympics comparison lol... even with the olympics there was more time off in that offseason than the lakers/heat got after the bubble. theres also a bunch of other things that make that a flawed comparison like only kobe, pau, and sasha vujacic or some shit playing in the plympics, not the whole team. also the fact that they played a normal non-compacted reg season. they were up 2-1 when AD got injured, and he was dominant in both wins. lets not pretend like his absence doesnt make a massive difference on offense/defense. if both teams were fully healthy (and that includes lebron who had an injured ankle), the lakers probably win in 6. even with a half speed lebron, they were toying with the suns through 3 games of the series.

Mickey Mouse Champs that got exposed.. As I said earlier in this thread the bubble was the outlier of the 3 years LBJ had been in LA. 1st season missed playoffs. 2nd Season Bubble Champs. 3rd season 2 games out of missing the playoffs... if the season were 82 games they wouldn't have made the playoffs... 2 out of those 3 years they underperformed. The ONE season they get a four month break to rest all and all the other benefits of a bubble they win. They were rhe bubble Champs... they get credit for winning down there. But let's not act as if that was the same as a full 82 game season and full playoff schedule with travel etc. Edited June 4, 2021 by Goukosan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lakers lost the series because they couldn't defend the 3 and they also shot terribly from the 3. AD wasn't going to change that. AD was playing like garbage in game 4...he basically played almost have the game and Lakers were already getting beat. They were going to lose game 4 in similar fashion to how they lost game 1. Lakers beat an injury plagued Heat team yet you don't mention that at all.... but now you want to discount this first round loss because AD got hurt...cry more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,222 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 So, just to clarify.....Lebron and the Lakers dancing and celebrating acting like big guys when they are winning games against Phoenix when Chris Paul is injured and playing limited minutes = true sign of a championship-caliber team?

When you have an aging super star and an injury prone #2 star... a 4 month break WITHIN THE SEASON is a God send.... aging super stars get injured more often and take longer to recover and AD has been injury prone his entire career. You guys were just crying bbbbbut if AD were Healthy and Bbbut the short turn around.....guess what would elevate both those issues... a 4 month break during towards the end of the season... AKA what happened in the bubble season Next year will be a repeat of this year and two years ago unless the Lakers go younger with a 3rd reliable star to help LBJ when AD goes down and to help carry to load.
