Miami Heat was ringless prior to the brawl in Detroit… Coincidence? Nope.

Wait…

*checks notes*

The Pacers were a juggernaut?

I guess his argument is Stephen Jackson was that big of a difference maker? Idk

Shoot, they had never even beaten the Pacers in a playoff series prior to that incident…

It was on that weekend in November of 2004 that David Stern decided he no longer wanted teams to win through physicality and team play, and that his preference from that point on was soft, star-oriented rosters.

The fact that the average NBA fan today considers Draymond Green as “tough” only further illustrates the point.

There's stupid...

Then there's really stupid...

Then there's really, really stupid...

Then there's going full retard...

Your post exceeds all of that.

Indiana was ringless prior to the brawl in Detroit too.

And after.

I'm not sure. They might have an ABA title.

"the 2004 Pacers team beat any team in any era."


Except for the '04 Pistons that beat them 4-2 in the ECF right?

Do you ever think before you post homeristic nonsense?


And as far as being tough. That malace at the palace. Didn't Ron Artest run into the stands to fight a fan instead of getting into with Ben Wallace?

LMFAO Lord only knows how how I missed this thread and it's dimwittery...

Excuses excuses.

League the last 15 years has been soft as tissue paper.

Mere reminder that prior to the incident the Pacers were a model franchise for reloading. They tore down an aging roster that made the finals in 2000 and proceeded to win 61 games in 2004.

Yes, this thread IS all about excuses, eh OP?

How DARE the commissioner penalize the Pacers for fighting with fans in the stands! Beta cuck!

@HurricaneDij39 your team is still ringless, Cvnt!

I mean...even if he hadnt...they lost to the 04 pistons the year prior. I assume Artest meant 05 Pacers anyway.

And again they had the exact same team except Stephen jackson.

It was all a setup, I tells ya...

I'm sure the OP didn't mean it, but he definitely clowned himself...

You know how I know you are ghey…

How dare you disrespect the 3x ABA champion Indiana Pacers?

How many ABA titles do the Heat have? That's what I thought!

You know what else Miami didn’t have prior to that season? A Dwayne Wade with any NBA playoff experience.

They made the finals that one time
