Should All Western Conference Fans Root For The Lakers in the Finals

[Koolaid_Man]

Absolutely YES... If your favorite Western Conference team loss to us, didn't make the playoffs or face us we are still representing you and your cities and fans in the finals. I think it would be disrespectful and pretty unAmerican if you didn't root for L.A....Like Alvin Gentry said the Lakers are representing the West now and you guys should have out back. We should be a happy family now that all the Western Conference scores are settled. When all other civil things break down normal people tend to go with those on their side and make no mistake the Lakers are now on your side.

If you disagree with me fine but I think you should reconsider...I will stop the insults if you do so.... and agree to jump on our side as we fight the ultimate battle...and yes for the record I always root for the Western teams...so I'm not being hypocritical...:toast I'm looking for a Lakers Sweep...so it would only be 4 games worst case 7 so it shouldn't be long that you root for us and the good part is you don't even have to tell anyone if it bothers you that much...I just want to know that we all have something in common at the end of the day....:toast

[Muser]

I wanted the Lakers to win ever since the Spurs got swept.

[21_Blessings]

Also, Lakers = lesser of two evils

[Giuseppe]

It was free country till Hussein Obama became POTUS, but, I believe one can still root for one's fave regardless of region.

brilliant revenge idea...but still that's what I'm talking about..once upon a time Laker fans respected the Spurs....we are in power now and in the drivers seat so it's time to respect our club even if you don't like the Laker Nation fans...especially cold blooded ones like me...

I can't remember for sure, but I don't think I've ever even responded to any of your posts much less cursed you out. No offense, but I generally don't even pay attention to your posts or threads.

I've liked the Lakers for longer than a lot of Laker fans. I grew up a big Magic Johnson fan. I was torn in the 1988 and 1989 NBA Finals, but of course sided with my hometeam. I lived in Los Angeles for two years during the Shaq-Kobe championship years. It's not a tough decision for me on who to root for in these Finals.

Paul Pierce annoys me. KG annoys me. Tony Allen annoys me. At least they got rid of Eddie House. But it's just not easy to like some of the Celtics players. They're obnoxious d-bags. I respect Ray Allen and I like Rajon Rondo and I think Baby is hilarious, but it's not enough for me to like that team.

[BUMP]

Mute point because there's no way they beat the Celtics

[Giuseppe]

.......then they'll get precisely what they deserve. But, if it goes the other way, Kobe appears in the heights with MJ.

And that's just the way it's gonna be.

[Mikesatx]

Agree unless the team to root for is your hated rival. Yankee fans don't root for the Red Sox, Cardinal fans don't root for the Cubs, Cowboy fans don't root for the Skins. To name a few.

Try using paragraphs next time, it'll make that garbled mess you just stammered out a little bit more readable.

Where did I claim anywhere that bonuses caused the financial crises?

Anyhow, you just proved yourself to be the illiterate fuckwit I knew you were. The rant you "wrote" above just clarifies the point I was alluding to. You claim now that Obama is in office, there's no more "free rides for whitey," which obviously alludes to his campaign "promises" of putting mainstreet before Wall Street and cracking down on corporate corruption. But then you go on to admit that Obama wasn't really concerned about that in the first place, saying it was simply a part of his campaign strategy to "soften the blow."

So thanks for admitting that your hero is not really a "man of the people" like you so proudly proclaim and just another lackey politician in the pockets of big business and the banking industry, not to mention defense contractors.

OMG...what a thorough idiot...Let me repeat and I'm done with the subject...The Bonuses sir did not cause the Financial Markets to collapse....the bonuses are nothing but a side story...You are dumber than I thought...I'm done with it...:sleep

Smart move. You were getting crushed due to your illiteracy.

Didn't I just clarify that I never claimed the bonuses caused the financial crisis? Yet you go implying that I did. Where did I say that?

Seriously, do you know how to fuckin' read?

Simply put, you stated "no more free rides for whitey." I responded that whitey is indeed still getting free rides in the form of outrageous bonuses that Obama, who was a pre-election critic of, has now "softened his stance on." Even the "whiteys" in Europe are uncomfortable with the amount these executives are getting paid, as would be any sensible stock holder. But in your mind, overpaying executives when it doesn't make sense to from a profit standpoint is "how wealth is created."


Koolaid_Man: if you're company didn't receive money from the govn't but was somehow connected to the financial markets collapse then it looks irresponsible to most American's who don't understand how wealth is created to be handing out that kind of cash to CEO's...it was designed to soften the blow to uneducated and mentally challenged people like yourself...All he was doing was showing that he cares for ordinary "mainstreet" people as he says...What else did you expect him to say. :lmao

Whitey is still getting that free ride even though a "nigga" is in office.

Don't come at me again unless you can keep up.

[hitmanyr2k]

The western conference is soft. I would rather see a team that's gone through the best the league has to offer win the title. So far the Celtics have taken out two title contenders in the Cavs and the Magic while the Lakers have taken on creampuff pretender teams. It's only fitting the Celtics complete their great run and take out the Lakers and have supreme bragging rights as beating the best of the best to win another NBA championship. And this is coming from a guy that can't stand Paul "neck snap" Pierce and Kevin Garnett.

[tlongII]

I just hope for some entertaining basketball. I really can't stand either the Lakers or the Celtics.

[easy7]

We can root for the Lakers but that does not mean Boston is not going to own that ass and vise-versa.

21, I feel you, I too am not a Obama guy, HOWEVER,
I am not to sure about the defense contractors being in Obama's pocket. The Dems have historically been a party who don't like to spend much $$$ on military R & D. You ask any top brass military guy and they'll tell you they like it when GOP guys are running the show. More $$ for the military.

FYI....proceed. :tu

On that note; your either with us, or against us....Go Lakers!

To clarify, I'm not a repug or democrap, but since the 50s, the Ds have been responsible for more foreign intervention via military action than any republican. Since Obama's been in office, he's increased the number of troops in Afghanistan and hasn't done much in ending the war in Iraq like he promised during his campaign. More troops means more guns, ammo, armor, etc, etc, manufactured by the likes of DuPont, Colt, KBR, etc.

[Fpoonsie]

Pretty much agree w/ everything JS has said (concerning the Celts). Can't stand KG or Pierce, not a big fan of Perkins' constant Rampage-like scowl, and the thought of Fin winning a ring, riding BOS's coattails after all the immaturity he showed this season is nauseating.

Also, as somebody mentioned in a separate thread, Kobe winning his fifth should invariably diminish Shaq's accomplishments, which does nothing but tickle my pickle.

surprise surprise a bulls fan rooting for boston and trying to stay relevant...I'm sure Kobe surpassing Jordan in rings is no motivating factor for you...make no mistake dipshit....Kobe's stats may not be better than Jordan because he had to play with a ball dominant center named Shaq (something MJ never had to worry about) but Kobe will surpass that bad Hanes commercial shooting sellout MJ in titles when it's all said and done!!!

Kobe 7> MJ 6...is my final tally...

Stop getting all emotional you sissy :lol I don't give a shit about Kobe's stats or that he had to win titles as Shaq's lackey or any other bitch-made Jordan issues you're hung up on. Boston's competition and road to the Finals has been a hell of a lot more challenging and despite my hate for Pierce and KG I would rather see the team with the tougher road take the title. It's been that way since the 80's when the Lakers used to beat up on cupcake no-defense playing teams in the western conference while the Celtics had the tougher competition in the East. If Boston wins they've taken out the every favored title contender (Cleveland, Orlando, LA) in that run which is impressive. And on top of that they would never have home court in any of those series.

There were some damn good teams in the 80's, including the Spurs, when the Lakers were trying to go through the west.

For playing cup-cake no defense teams in the 80's, getting 5 LOB's in that decade wasn't to shabby I guess.

the teams they beat had no chance of beating LA in a 7 game series so again your point is...you are reaching...reaching for some bullshit justification for rooting for the Celtics...just like MJ didn't have any real consistent defenders guarding him like Kobe...Kobe's had way more specialized 1 on 1 and team defenders than Jordan did...Jordan didn't have to worry about stiff competition night in and night out like Kobe does...From Melo to Wade, to Lebron to all the other defensive specialists like Doug Christie, Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell, Shane Battier, Ron Artest, Rueben Patterson, and a host of others that are given the Kobe assignment...fact is your boy MJ had it way easier than Kobe ever did...WAY EASIER...not to add in Shaq's ball dominant ways...

[JoeTait75]

Because the Lakers were better than the Celtics. But that doesn't mean they didn't play weaker competition in the West. L.A. had two WCF series against teams that were 41-41 and 39-43 while Boston was going up against the Dr J/Moses 76ers, the Sidney Moncrief Bucks and the Bad Boys.

Hell, those Bucks would've been the 2nd best team in the West behind the Lake Show.

just love putting you on blast...and the other advantage MJ had over Kobe is that MJ had the opportunity to play with a gay teammate in Scottie Pippen...( I read the article on the white boy Pippen was fucking in college) he dumped the guy after he realized he was going to the Pro's...but my point is that with Pippen being gay no one wanted to play defense on him so they just let him score...So MJ had that as an advantage as well....

Seriously lol. Any honest NBA fan who was watching basketball in the 80's would tell you that 80's West = 2000-2003 East. The Celtics were in the superior conference. The Lakers were a stacked team in a weak conference. It was no doubt who was coming out of the west year after year.

[Sisk]

I'll be going for the Celtics. I've never understood the whole "root for your rival" shit.

[daslicer]

Lets see I live on the east coast so if the spurs don't make it to the finals then I always root for the eastern conference champs. I hate KG and Pierce they are both grade A assholes but at the same time I hate Kobe, Dfish "If they called flopping I would be out of the league", Odom- Kardashian, Bynum the great hype, Artest-2004, Gasol- whiner and verbal flopper. The Lakers are way too Hollywood for me to ever root for while I do like the celtics aggresive defense it reminds of what the spurs used to be before Pop's small ball obsession.

I will be rooting for the Lakers because I want that crazy streak of having either the Spurs or Lakers represent the West and of course, winning it all. Even though I fucking hate the Lakers, I will be rooting for the crown to stay in the West. Plus, I can't stand seeing KG get another ring. That wasteless talking bastard. ARggggh!
:toast to a good series, and hopefully the rapist will get his 5th ring.

[VBM]

Kobe deserves another ring way more than KG. Duncan's legacy will also be more directly tied to guys like Shaq and KG versus a guard like Kobe, so I'd hate to see KG rise up those ranks (and probably would have rooted for LA had Shaq's Cavs advanced to the finals).

this is kind of a lose-lose finals...I'm rooting for Boston now, but I'm sure KG's first press conference will have me reconsidering quickly.

Kobe deserves another ring way more than KG. Duncan's legacy will also be more directly tied to guys like Shaq and KG versus a guard like Kobe, so I'd hate to see KG rise up those ranks (and probably would have rooted for LA had Shaq's Cavs advanced to the finals).

Unless KG has some fluke monster series he won't be rising up anywhere. He's a roleplayer now...a good one, but still a roleplayer. The main legacies that are on the line here for the Celtics are Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. I have both guys borderline Hall of Famers at best. This playoff run and Finals can cement both players for the HOF if they pull out a great series and either one take home Finals MVP.

I want them to bring the trophy over here in October.

I aways pull for the west. Doesn't matter who plays. This series is a coin toss. I give up on the "experts". One fan base will be right, and the other will be wrong. I can see it going all 7 easy. Each team will get a blowout win, a buzzer beater and the other three will be close.

lakers and spurs are Rivals? i guess.

Was waiting for this. Well, would you consider the Spurs your friends? Didn't think so

Conference pride/loyalty's dumb enough in college football


In the fucking NBA? :lol :lol

[TampaDude]

Can't root for the Lakers. I respect them as a team, because they are a very good team, and they are indeed the Western Conference champions, but I can't root for them. I respect Kobe Bryant, because he is ridiculously talented, and probably the best player in the NBA right now, but I can't root for him. I'm a SPURS fan, so there is no way in hell I can root for the Lakers, ever...EVER!!!

The Celtics are gonna wax that Laker ass just like they did in 2008, anyway.

Fuck no.

GO CELTICS BABY!

It was free country till Hussein Obama became POTUS, but, I believe one can still root for one's fave regardless of region.

For how long Culby, for how long?
