NBA 2012-13 Season Thread: Asterisks Need Not Apply

While the media hates him, Pop is a really great coach. What an awesome way to try and put Game 6 in your rear-view. We'll see tonight if it helped.

Another amazing game. Lebron rose to the occasion and was the main reason why they won. Duncan was great again, but man oh man that layup he missed. Just wow.

I think Miami won these 2 for 2 reasons and both are Lebron.

1. Lebron offensively figured it out.

2. Spo finally played the trump card of Lebron defending Parker. Totally destroyed Parker's game like he did to Rose 2 years ago.

Lebron as a Laker in 2014 alongside Dwight will be so fun.

Didn't really care if SA won, I just wanted to see LeBron lose and cry. Oh well, there's always next year.

While I realize this thread was started as a Lakers pom-pom thread, the season ended in a manner that should require Laker's fans to put them in the closet for a while.

Must we bring up the Lakers at this point? Shit, the Mavericks have won a Championship more recently than the Lakers and I haven't brought them up.

To be fair, they were the only team to beat the 3 Amigos in the Finals.........

See what you made me do?

Lakers were hurt. Injuries are part of the game. It also gives an excuse to not stop crowing about them.

Besides, Mavs haven't even won a playoff game since 2011. They're old hat.

Reminder: the Lakers were swept in the first round.

The chutzpah of Lakers fans....

[The Dude]

Reminder: no Kobe. Or even Nash really.

Seriously, the game 3 and 4 lineup was the worst backcourt in Laker history. Maybe even NBA history. To this day I still don't know how the Spurs didn't win by 50.
