one of these years is not like the other... no fans, players randomly not being able to play, weird season so seeding was messed up. Just all around it was a DIFFERENT year.
But at the same time - those circumstances were nobody's fault (nothing the players could have done), and there was nothing anybody could have done to eliminate the weirdness of that season. Asterisks usually function to make something less important or significant. An asterisk seems harsh.
I feel more comfortable bashing the '17 & '18 Warriors because Durant could have easily refrained from taking the easy route
Why is Durant's route deemed easy? Why should he refrain from taking the route he did? Was there any attempt to subvert the rules? In comparison for example why is Anthony Davis's move to join the Lakers not being brought up as much or even more?
