Just like in golf where course conditions change daily, the conditions are not unfair because we all play the same golf course. This season, the situation is different but all 22 teams are playing under the same playoff conditions. Also just like golf, the goals that result in winning games is still pretty much the same....score more points.
If the Mavs were to pull off a championship, it wouldn't be their first one but otherwise, I would be just as happy! Asterisk be damned, lets win it.
Well put here:

The fact remains this will be an official Championship, and I would be surprised if players don't play just as hard to get it as they would any other season. Heck, maybe the * asterisk and special conditions makes it even a little more desirable to win this one.
