I take "pure" to mean that it was just straight up basketball with no added factors.

Idk about the hardest in history but being stuck in a bubble for 3+ months is a big deal. Really challenges you mentally.

I think that’s the main reason the Clippers didn’t make it. They weren't mentally strong enough.

It was definitely the most pure playoffs of all time where the basketball spoke the loudest.

Clippers would've crumbled regardless. They're a collection of immature arse dudes. No way they would've held up to traveling during the playoffs. Might've been eliminated sooner actually.

You think the Clippers would have been eliminated in the first round if it wasn’t for the bubble?

Alright I can’t take you serious.

Okay, have the Lakers ever lost a playoff series to the Nuggets in their history?

You want to pretend elevation is not relevant, but then discuss past playoff matchups like they matter??

The guy is incredible. We disagree on the layoff's effects, but he definitely looked fresher than I think he would've been without the shutdown.
Absolutely. Can't believe he keeps doing this

They went 6 games with the injury plagued Mavericks regardless. I don't think it's out of the realm that they MIGHT have lost. Don't think there's any chance they would've beat the Nuggets outside of the bubble.

It was in no way the hardest. It was much easier than most if anything and people are forgetting LeBron and company forcing delays in the playoffs to boycott. Get extra rest while claiming so sjw agenda.

So no. Ask, more players were injured or playing injured than I recall in many playoffs

90+ days in a hotel room no family and or friends to see is probably what they meant by that. More mentally taxing than physically.
