I see a lot of you are so emotionally invested in wanting the Lakers to lose this series. I never quite understood why people gave a shit, especially after their own teams have gotten knocked out.
Is it Kobe getting his 1st ring without Shaq, Phil getting #10, or just the fact that LAL is so consistently dominant that pisses you off?

Don't confuse us hating your team with us caring about it.

He is a typical Laker fan.
No its not just that...but the fact that you think we revolve around the fact whether your team wins or loses just shows how self absorbed you are. Most lakers fans aren't like this but damn...we have our own teams.

If the Spurs are out, I'm just a fan of the game. No emotional attachment at all. Makes no difference to me who wins, I just hope for some good games along the way.

I realize you may not understand the concept, but here is the rundown... If you hate, you care. You care differently compared to Laker fans, but you still care. Yes, i know, crazy logic....

I have to say that the Lakers have the most haters in sports w/ the exception of the Yankees. I guess LA is the Yanks of the NBA. People watch/hate/cheer because its the Lakers. No other team in sports (that are followed) has a chant to fuck w/ them "beat LA". Whether its because of the teams on the court over the years or because people are jelous of the so cal lifestyle (dont freak out but as a general rule its true), they LOVE to put down the SoCal teams. Lakers, Trojans, etc...

If you HATE the Lakers you actually do care because you are investing enough emotional energy to actually feel something about the Lakers.
Ambivalence would indicate truly not giving a fuck about what the Lakers do.

I'm no Laker fan, but, they flat out won game 4 against some odds. Sure Orlando blew golden opportunities, but, LA hit some BIG shots and have put themselves 48 mins away from a championship. Will I be depressed? I already am at the way the Spurs went out.
If LA wins, I'll deal a slight congratulatory nod their way and hope the Spurs can kick their asses next year.

Prior to the collusion trade, I was pretty indifferent to the Lakers. And I actually like Kobe a lot.
I think I only hate the lakers because of that trade. Once this team is dismantled, I will be indifferent about them.

Do you only hate the trade because it caused a knee jerk reaction to trade an upcoming superstar point guard in Harris to an over the hill pg in Jason Kidd?

Yeah, thank God for all of those moving screens they called on Dewey Howard in the ECF, especially that cross-body block he threw on Varejao and Wallace to free up Rashard at the end of Game 4. Sure glad they called that one. And those push-offs on Turk, like the one at the end of Game 2 that they called on... Sasha Pavlovic.
Hey, wait a second...

What you talking about? Dwight doest camp the lane and body blocks people. He also doesnt do moving screens. Hedo doesnt use his off arm to push of defenders. How dare you say that! Thier defense is #1...i mean they didnt foul the Lakers in the 4th or in OT last night. You gotta be good to pull that off.

No Cleveland fan should ever complain about the refs in this year's playoffs. They definitely got the benefit of the doubt against the Magic, they just weren't good enough.

Gregory, one guy on our basketball team gets preferential treatment from the officials, and that's LeBron. Every other guy is a role player and a journeyman, and they get role player-and-journeyman calls, which is perfectly fair, and not something I'm complaining about. You want to say "LeBron gets the benefit of the doubt" I can't argue with that. You want to say guys like Ilgauskas, Delonte and Varejao get the benefit of the doubt, I'll call bullshit every time. Because they don't.

how is it over? A fully healthy Celtics squad (with a couple small FA acquistions) is still a 60-win elite team. Sure, the triplets are another year older, but Big baby, Perkins, and Rondo really came into their own this year. C's have a couple contending years left.

KG's health concerns me. That knee injury at his age has me expecting more injuries to come. Big Baby will be a RFA and he MUST be kept. I'd love to see a Celts/Lakers part 2 even if the Celts lose this time around. Alot of things will have to work in the Celts favor and health is the main factor.

true, I hope he makes a full recovery. I fully expect Boston to come back with a vengeance next year. People forget that they started 27-2 this year, before suffering a plethora of injuries throughout the season. Good luck BG, there's nothing quite like Lakers-Celtics:toast

LA's dominance has been absent for six seasons...that's not consistent. There's no hate against this team, there's hate against the BS officiating that gets this team into winning playoff games. I don't think the rest of the Lakers beyond Kobe are good enough to win a championship without missed calls for basket interference or missed calls on Kobe elbowing players. Weak defensively, and casual fans can't name any Lakers outside of Kobe Bryant. It's not an All-Star team. Not even fun to hate. Boring team. Fans don't care enough to hate them.

The team earned it. So no big deal. The lakers have an aging, but durable star in Kobe. This brings me to another consolation which is that Kobe won his 1st ring without Shaq during which KG and Yao were out. I feel like if Yao was healthy, Rox win the series conf. and NBA finals. I feel like if KG and the Celts were in the finals vs the Lakers, Celts win. I think the Lakers are good, but had some nice luck fall their way. The ONLY team to test them, to scare them and force a game 7 was the Rockets. We will be back, that you can count on. Lakers fans might not give a shit about that, but I can tell you Kobe and his D-league teammates do.

Lakers had the easiest road to a Championship which is why some fans are upset about.. The West was plagued with injuries starting with the Suns and no Amare.. Spurs losing Manu and playing with a hurt Duncan.. Rockets had no T-Slack, Yao and Deke got injured for the season and still took the Lakers to 7, with Yao Ming not injured Rockets win that game. The East lost KG for the season.. Orlando lost Nelson for half the season and bring him back to fuck shit up... Only team Lakers played that was healthy was an unexperienced Denver team!

Maybe we come off as arrogant because our team is ALWAYS WINNING. 2 non-playoff seasons since 1975 doesn't exactly make for a modest fanbase
