NBA

[jstep13]

And then there was....

I'd rather have players who are NOT household names for the right reason than for the wrong reason. i.e. the accused rapist and coach killer who his own teammates DESPISE (kobe), the thug responsible for the biggest melee in sports history among his other antics (Artest), the big baby who can't even lose without taking cheap shots at other players who will soon be the Lakers next big headache (bynum), the biggest p****y in all of sports who couldnt even get over a break up (Gasol), another vag who is now gone but who we can see what kind of mental toughness he has (Odom) etc etc. I can go on and on with your roster. Yeah you guys got some real household names there. Your household names are the biggest joke in sports. Do understand the difference between famous and notoriety?

Like I said, I would rather be a fan of an organization who wins the right way, loses the right way and actually carries themselves the right way. And unless the Lakers starting raping other teams for other talent, which appears the NBA is FINALLY cracking down on, so that well is just about dried up, or throw more good money after bad players that don't care if they win or lose, you guys won't be winning again anytime soon because let's face it, how many Kobe's and Shaq's are there in this next generation?

Your well is dry, son

the whole lockout was aimed at weakening the lakers. taking revenue and putting a cap on players market value. really it was a joke. example OKC. the nba illegally nullified a trade to make us better and shave salary. how are we the apple when they try and take us down. whatever, wont work. looking forward to an offseason where stern doesnt mettle with its eye apple...

whatev, we'll always be good. in 1/2 of the finals and win 1/3 of them for the last 30 years. (hows that for underachievement) that wont stop.

That's called fair play. Do you really want the NBA to turn into the joke MLB is? Or you do want a relatively balanced league like the NFL. The NBA smartened up. I know it may temporarily hurt the Lakers because you cant have Lakers Reloaded every year but at the same time they had to do something in order for the league to survive or otherwise the league would've become a real disaster like the NHL.

All true. I respect what popavich has done there. I'm curious as to how they will rebuild in a few years or will the spurs best years be bygone the way my dolphins have been post Shula/Marino.

I suspect the Spurs will be an average good team a la the Nuggets. Not championship caliber every year unless we get lucky and find a star. It really depends if Pop and RC plan to stick around after the run is over. If those guys leave, I think we'll be terrible.

And being an average good team may actually work against them because they wont be bad enough to get a top pick yet won't be able to attract key FA. so they won't be able to get over the hump of going good to great.

But to compare the Spurs and Dolphins (who you know is my NFL team) is apples and oranges because the Dolphins front office is the biggest bunch of ******* in all of sports (thanks Ireland!). The Spurs FO is savvy, prudent and forward thinking. The complete opposite of the Dolphins.

I'm much like you. I'm a organization fan, rather than individual players fan. I can't sit here and defend the knuckle heads that we have on the team, but one things for sure, we'll be competing for another title decades before your teams even sniffs another WCF. If knuckle heads is what it takes to win titles. Then bring them on, so that I can keep watching parades, and maybe when I have grand kids. I'll be able to take them an show them how winning NBA titles are like our birth rights...

Like it or not, L.A. will always be a dream destination for enough players to want to join us in our quest to becoming the NBA's all time title winning team...

Even though you say that he NBA has crack down on us from pillaging other teams. We all are playing by the same rules, but we'll always get the best out of the crop of players that hit the market...

Speaking of "THUGS"... Wasn't Capt. Jack his right hand man up there in the stands swing away at fans???

So, miss me with that hog wash like your team is so pure of thugs.

lol, are you seriously blind? Who was taking shots at who first?

Point out to me where the shot I took at him, other than the team that you guys route for.

Don't think any of those comments where sensitive shot at him on a personal level.

Everything that I make comment on about him are from the things that he directly posted on the forum. No more or less.

Well that was an interesting read

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

I don't see taking money from one franchise because its successful or the owner bought into a strong market and giving it to the "poorer" or mismanaged teams as fair play. If you banked on milwake or cleveland and don't run it right that's a you problem. Its crap, look at the knocks, spend money still suck. Look at small market san antonio and okc, cream of the crop. Lock out was based on greed, not fair play. Owners like gilbert and jordan holding the room hostage. Seriously. Its worse for the players who basically had their market value limited. Now on to your irrational hating, I find it entertaining.

GG celtics. Bring on thunder.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

GO OKC!!!!!

 

[jstep13]

GO OKC!!!!!

Let's see LeBron go 0-3 in the Finals...

LeBron = Jim Kelly of the NBA...

 

[Wake]

The LeBron hate is really irrational. The man is playing like a demon. Avg better numbers in post season tha anyone In decades. Why do you guys hate him so much?!

 

[denger4000]

Lebron's gonna win his first ring, Spurs had a great chance of beating the Heat but the NBA screwed them in game 6 so we can have everyone's favorite bandwagon team, the young, fast break, dunking thunder vs the Heat. I think the Heat will win in about 5-6 games.

Blah blah blah, blind hatred, blah blah blah, we lost but are still better than the Lakers. Whatever gets you through the night.

Not one not two not three not four not five not six not seven...

I really don't see the heat getting past the buzzsaw

I really don't see the heat getting past the buzzsaw

That's what many said about Dallas last year when the heat breezed thru the ecf in 5

 

[bumblebee]

Love, like or hate LBJ was amazing the last 2 games. I think the Thunder win in 6 but it's gonna be a good series.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

OKC is an entirely different animal

 

[The Ringer]

Lebron turns all the hate into straight fuel, that's why he is king.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

I don't like Lebron and Wade for their flopping. I don't like floppers in general, but I don't hate the man.

As a Knicks fan, I hate the Heat, however. And as a human being, I hate the city of Miami.

 

[bumblebee]

People hated him maybe even more last season, how did that "fuel" work out!?
