Lakers: :wow MVPau

[Brazil]

Spurs fans: Pau is the greatest thing in the universe since the hamburger
lakers fans: no no he sucks, he is worst than bonner

[ElNono]

You did beat 'em, El, and you know it. That is what galls you six months and a lifetime ago. You had it right there, the victory, the 5-5, Kobe was in the haberdasher gettin' his bag fitted. You had it all, and you had it your way. What is a man, what has he got, if not himself, than he has not. To say the words he truly feels and not words of the one who kneels.

Nope and nope, you're not dragging the Spurs into this convo. MVPau isn't like you, he doesn't chicken out of it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

We didn't beat them, and that's fine. We could've easily pulled a Lakers, quit and chicken out of it, but instead we put a fight. Going in as the underdogs, it's all you can ask for and they delivered.

Do you post this mickey mouse rah-rah bull with a straight face, tbh? You were sobbing into your spurs snuggie when they choked, and now you're trying to rationalize the most epic collapse in history.

link, tbh?

Let's keep talking about how tanking is going to make your team beat the Heat though

[Brazil]

Forgot golden-god Splitter too, tbh...

Best defensive big in the league...lakers fans would trade Pau for our Brazilian god in a heartbeat

this is because they've been running with the "Kirby didn't have any help" line the past couple of seasons, when in reality MVPau has been the one carrying this team despite Kirby dragging him down...

It certainly beats your "You could've had Monta Ellis!" strategy. I get it, bro...just like with Manu, you have a soft spot for illegal aliens. Kindred spirits, I suppose

Thread of the year hands down, 10 pages and counting... You did a fine job ElNono...that's Manu vintage right there

[ElNono]

So no answer on why Fredo was begging Howard and how that somehow fits with this new "building a team to beat the Heat" rationale?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Small market fanbases have nothing else to preoccupy their time, so they pour their lives into their sports teams. You cried, and are now denying it

Monta Ellis > Pau tbh

No link? No surprises there.

Thats racist

[ElNono]

I can't blame DD though... going from GOAT Dr Buss to Fredo is probably one of the worst swings in ownership in the history of the league, tbh...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Yeah, it's new...he took a shot and missed. Back to the drawing board, since there's no worthwhile FA's. "Best" shot at rebuilding now is grabbing one of those Top 4 picks...or just wait a few more years till real talent hits the market.


Monta Ellis
40 y/o Derek Fisher

Some of the worst takes I've read in years.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Thats racist

I apologize.

[ElNono]

Derek Fisher was in the Finals just a season ago... not sure why Lakerfan keeps on hating on their last true floor general, tbh...

[ElNono]

If anything, this thread is a testament on how good Pau was, so next season they can't pull a Fisher on him, tbh...

So you're saying the Lakeshow could've beat the Heat with Howard back and this cluster , despite what you've seen last season?

You sure you want to talk about worst takes?

[ElNono]

BTW, the argument that the only way to go is to "build a team to beat the Heat" is yours, and only yours. I've stated that business-wise, a good/solid Laker team, even if they can't win it all, is still a much more marketable team that this abortion.

That's where players like Monta Ellis, Kevin Martin, etc could've helped fortify Gasol into being such a team. Same buzz that was there when 38 year old Nash was signed for $30 million, tbh...

No.

[ElNono]

No.

Agreed. And FWIW, one thing I agreed with Bynumite on, was that the Lakeshow avoided a bullet when DHo didn't extend.
