I remember in 2000, seeing all those ****ing Laker flags on like 97% of the cars in southern California. Ugh.

I remember those days. Made my commute on the 10 unbearable :lol

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

jesus christ you honestly don't think USC had fans before Pete Carroll? Some of you are dense. Obviously they are more vocal when teams have success, but as i said before, that pretty much goes for every team in all of sports. You think most "Heat fans" in miami gave a shit about the team before Shaq got there? Its not exclusive to Los Angeles.

No kidding. I've always love the Detroit Tigers...but I stayed far away from the MLB threads for a loooong time becacuse I really didn't have much to get excited for or talk about.

Back on Topic

This game is so much more fun than the Spurs.

 

[Matrix]

damn Smush makes Alston look like a star :lol

 

[VPhys]

Turiaf always brings a grin to my face.

 

[DMczaf]

wtf, Ronny sporting a WNBA ponytail.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the bright side to getting our asses kicked out of the playoffs like this is that at least this year the front office won't be fooled into thinking this is a title contending team in need of just some minor tweaks. We need an overhaul. Lamar needs to go.

 

[rc213]

When did Luke turn into Smoosh? ****er sucks ass at everything he does on the court now.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Turiaf always brings a grin to my face.

If the other Lakers had half the heart of Turiaf, this could be a series.

Your problem was getting rid of Jerry West. Mitch Kupchak's defining moment as a Laker GM was trading Shaquille O'Neal.

 

[The Frankman]

damn Smush makes Alston look like a star :lol

I've said a Jordan Farmar/Shammond Williams backcourt isn't bad

Spoiler

unless they trade for Jason Kidd

.

That's where you're wrong.

It was giving away Caron Butler basically for free.

 

[Heezzi]

I like Turiaf.. Good player......








BTW.. it's funny when Charles complains about watching the highlights to games that they just watched.

 

[ph33nix]

That's where you're wrong.

Pretty much. If Lamar and Caron played up to their potential in LA this could be a special team...but...yeah.

If Kwame played like a no. 1 pick this could be a special team =/

 

[rc213]

So I guess Phil has accepted the fact the Lakers are dead, No other reason for Smoosh to be playing so many minutes.

BRING BACK FARMAR!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the REAL problem was dumbass Jack Haley leaking that Boozer/Caron trade, causing Utah to back out after fan backlash. Thats the one "crazy Laker trade rumor" that was actually true and close to happening, and seeing the way Boozer is playing probably would have made us contenders.

 

[The Frankman]

... We need an overhaul. Lamar needs to go.

Make the Knicks an offer. Isiah wanted Odom last year.

 

[ph33nix]

:lol Harlan refers to Smush as a d-leaguer

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Make the Knicks an offer. Isiah wanted Odom last year.

you have nothing we, or anybody for that matter, wants.

 

[ph33nix]

Lamar for Rashard Lewis maybe?

you have nothing we, or anybody for that matter, wants.

Every team wants a healthy david lee

 

[reilo]

you have nothing we, or anybody for that matter, wants.

Eddie Curry would be a big upgrade over Kwame...

 

[pilonv1]

:lol Harlan refers to Smush as a d-leaguer

That's nice of him to compliment Smush.

 

[Matrix]

Marion *barfs*

 

[ryutaro's mama]

So I guess Phil has accepted the fact the Lakers are dead, No other reason for Smoosh to be playing so many minutes.

BRING BACK FARMAR!

Phil has been mailing it in since the All-Star break.

He is well aware that this little money grab as the Lakers head coach will in no tarnish his legacy.

 

[VPhys]

Marion with the dagger to end the 1/2. Where is the defense?

 

[rc213]

I remember those days. Made my commute on the 10 unbearable :lol

It's almost as bad as when Clipper Nation popped up everywhere after 1 appearance in the playoffs. =X

 

[The Frankman]

you have nothing we, or anybody for that matter, wants.

David Lee says hi. So does Renaldo Balkman/Jamal Crawford. Hell Channing Frye might be better than Kwame Brown.

Eddie Curry would be a big upgrade over Kwame...

Emphasis on big.

 

[DMczaf]

That was awesome. Jack Haley breaking the news with ESPN analyst dreams in his eyes

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lamar for Rashard Lewis maybe?

Lamar makes a lot of money, which means we'd have to take back one of (the many) Knick horrible contracts in return. David Lee is NOT worth having to take back Jamal Crawford or Stephon Marbury.

 

[pilonv1]

David Lee says hi. So does Renaldo Balkman/Jamal Crawford.

The thought of Crawford and Kobe in the same back court is hilarious.

 

[Cloudy]

the bright side to getting our asses kicked out of the playoffs like this is that at least this year the front office won't be fooled into thinking this is a title contending team in need of just some minor tweaks. We need an overhaul. Lamar needs to go.

Nah, we need to keep Kobe, LO, Ronny and Farmar. EVERYONE else must go...

The thought of Crawford and Kobe in the same back court is hilarious.

I like it. Both can handle, penetrate and shoot....

 

[ryutaro's mama]

David Lee says hi. So does Renaldo Balkman/Jamal Crawford.

You mean Jamal "Put me down for 52,coach." Crawford?

 

[DMczaf]

:lol Barkley is not even watching the game

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Nah, we need to keep Kobe, LO, Ronny and Farmar. EVERYONE else must go...

Mitch, is that you?

 

[ph33nix]

I would keep Turiaf and Farmar for sure, everybody else is worth shopping for at the right price.

 

[VPhys]

Chuck: "I wasn't really watching the game." :lol :lol

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Nah, we need to keep Kobe, LO, Ronny and Farmar. EVERYONE else must go...

EVERYONE else is garbage. Nobody is going to give us jack for them (other than Sexy). Lamar, perhaps in combination with Bynum as much as it pains me to say that, is our best shot at getting a consistent number 2 guy in return.

 

[VPhys]

I would keep Turiaf and Farmar for sure, everybody else is worth shopping for at the right price.

QFT

Oh, Ninja has a point, Sexy must stay also.

 

[The Frankman]

Hell, we're keeping Marbs after a good season last year. What about if Knicks give you the Shaq Stopper, Jerome James???

... okay I'm laughing now. But seriously what scorer/secondary star are you gonna pair up with Kobe? First you don't want Butler, then Kidd. Who fits?

 

[Grifter]

Make the Knicks an offer. Isiah wanted Odom last year.

wtf, is isiah on a mission to overpay ny'ers?

also, did amare shoot turiaf's dog?

 

[woodchuck]

If you're going to talk about bandwagon fans, the mavs have to be up there. Lot of people wear mavs apparel around, but they couldn't name one player on the team from the 90s.

Usually when teams suck for a long time, then have a period of brief success, you'll see a lot of bandwagon fans.

For teams like the Lakers who have been consistently decent every decade, you'll see a lot more diehard fans.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

It's almost as bad as when Clipper Nation popped up everywhere after 1 appearance in the playoffs. =X

Jigga wha????

Clipper nation will shed the weak fans this summer and roll into next season with Ron Artest in hand.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Lakers are done tonight. Someone hide the sleep pills

 

[drohne]

bynum ought to go -- kobe will be old by the time he's ready to contribute -- but he's jim buss's pet. he should've gone for jason kidd. he might be a great player one day. who knows. but you don't waste the prime of the best player in the league.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

wtf, is isiah on a mission to overpay ny'ers?

Smush Parker, Knick guard confirmed.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

If you're going to talk about bandwagon fans, the mavs have to be up there. Lot of people wear mavs apparel around, but they couldn't name one player on the team from the 90s.

Toni Braxton could.

 

[The Frankman]

Smush Parker, Knick guard confirmed.

The thought of Smush and Marbury in the same back court is ... appalling. Please God don't make this happen. I will quit the Knicks if that happens.

 

[pilonv1]

but you don't waste the prime of the best player in the league.

 

[DMczaf]

IM RUBBA U GLU WHATEVER U SAY BOUNCE AWF ME AN STICK BACK ON YOU

 

[Matrix]

You know its a bad night for playoff bball when people start talking about the Knicks players.

 

[Heezzi]

What is up with Sun's coach? (I can't remeber his name at the moment.)


After Marion shot that buzzer beater, he came up to him like this...
