If Draymont wasn't nut-grabbin', cleveland would have zero.
Hate to be a prisoner of the moment, but the Raptors should be first on this list.

When did Draymond become Hakeem Olajuwon in his prime? Its almost like he didnt play 6 games of 7, including a deciding HOME clincher.
Meanwhile, the same people who utter this trash seemingly were in a sleep pod the year prior when Bron was out there going 6 games with an Australian D leaguer as his #2 option .
It's good to be conscious of avoiding "prisoner of the moment" commentary.
I think it's obviously the #1 example in my basketball-watching lifetime, which goes back to the 90s.
I won't say for sure that they benefited more than the 89 Pistons but it would seem to be a toss-up at best.
If the NBA does come back this year, people have suggested there should be an asterisk if a top player gets coronavirus and misses playoff games.
I think when you look at all this, it is obvious it should be regarded like any other injury as far as championship legitimacy.

2021 has had more major injuries than any other season.
89 Pistons vs. Lakeshow with Magic after game 1 and Byron Scott before series started. Easiest 4 game sweep ever. Kareem was retiring and the Piston's just focused on Worthy.
Hey, leave Delly alone
It's like the year of the NBA lockout. That's even have more injuries than any other NBA season I can think of. Derrick Rose rose went downhill from there
Bubble Lakers- Dragic was the Heat's leading scorer and Bam was their best defender
Literally the next day...
Damn man that sucks!
