So Yall Basically Not Gonna Give Us No Credit?

[LAKERZ4EVA]

Im reading all these posts,and seeing excuse after excuse..And the thing that gets me is how yall are saying "the lakers are not as good as they look"

i dont get it

[E20]

Holding up homecourt is what is expected.

[spurschick]

The Lakers haven't gotten this far on luck. Anyone thinking this was going to be an easy series is kidding themselves. That being said, it's obvious that the Spurs aren't playing Spurs basketball right now and I think even the Lakers were expecting something along the lines of the first half of Game 1.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Gotta admit a 30 point blow out is pathetic home court or not.

[LAKERZ4EVA]

I agree what yall are saying..But wassup with some of these posters talking about we not even a good team or we are not better then New Orleans..I dont get that..

[spurschick]

They just don't know any better. There are some Laker fans spouting off silliness here as well. Best to ignore it.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Lets see when you guys only show up when your team is decent is one reason no respect is given. Yeah Ill give your team props for game one 20 point turn around pretty good... game two? Our guys were shooting 36 percent and down by three at one point in the game...a team of shooters such as the spurs wont be on every night...You guys still need two more wins and Im hoping they all are thinking just like you and hornets fans thought when they were up 2-0"ITS OVER!"

Well all of us laker fans are not like that....And that 36 percent was a mixture of bad shooting as well as our defense...

[aka_USAPA]

The Lakers don't get any credit until they get the rings. For the Laker fan who wants credit because the Lakers won Game 2 at home... take a chill pill. Get back to earth!!!

[The_Worlds_finest]

Oh yeah and the must sickening thing about this post is he uses YALL so we know for sure he isnt from LA or even california or even west of the rockies...but must likely right here in texas

Naw homie...Im from the east coast

[bonesinaz]

No way. Your team is over rated. The talking heads fawning over the lakers makes it 1000 times worse. It doesn't help that we see maybe 10 laker fans/trolls regularly here since 05 until this series.....now there are dozens. Each one wants to start a stupid thread like yours. I have used the ignore button more this month than I have in 5 years.

Why should spur fan give your team credit when your coach never gives the other team credit for a win?

[TOP-CHERRY]

We aint not gonna give yall no credit.

I've been a Lakers fan since birth (when you are born in Inglewood, Ca it's state law) and have grown to be older than the entire spurs roster put together. Even knowing the stats on 7 game series whereas Phil Jackson is the coach means nothing. To not take this spurs team seriously would be a huge mistake. They are like cockroaches in that you think you may have stomped then dead but they still keep coming. Even after crushing defeats in the first 2 games of this series the spurs aren't built to let that get into their heads. It's like groundhogs day when they take the court and they are like the stepford wives. They just go to work. My fellow Laker fans should not start planning any parades just yet as there is much more to be done. This series isn't over. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic, I'm actually optimistic. Cautiously optimistic but optimistic none the less. I'm looking forward to tomorrows game, as a road victory will then be very reassuring of a finals appearance.

Why would I give message board posters credit for the way a basketball team plays?

[DarrinS]

You know, every fanbase has its douchebags, but the level of douchebagdom in the Laker fanbase is disproportionately high.

Not to mention, the Lakers are bandwagoning, fair weather fans.

Was it just me, or did I actually hear booing in game 1?


The Lakers probably could've won 5 or 6 straight championships, were it not for selfish players wanting it to be "their" team. You've got a smug, snotty head coach who insults other teams and is only slightly less arrogant than Bill fuckin Belichick.

[watertorture]

Having the top seed is something. Having a winning tradition is too.

Crying over losing in the playoffs, calling anyone a 'whiner' who questions your lop-sided trades, handing out *'s like party favors, and begging your opponent to give you credit for winning on your own court are not.

I agree. There are no telling how many kids/teens out there Magic fathered that have AIDS it's pitiful.

[BacktoBasics]

Lots of bad english and ebonics be toss round er eh.

[Spur Spoiler]

Just face it Spurs fans. You are done. I would like to sit here and be polite and say this series going to be close and that its up for grabs but it isn’t. There are so many excuses on these boards filled with false hope. Come on, you aren't Jazz fans or Kings fans. You have seen championships and should know what you are watching by now.

That was domination last night. Never close at all. Just before the season ended we beat you by 20. You can't compete against this laker team. You can say it's the calls, but the calls had nothing to do with last night. You can say it's the shots that you missed. You are right, It WAS about that. The Lakers played great defense!! And guess what? You have to hit your shots to win games. If you don't, you lose. Kinda basic I know. This Laker team is a young athletic team and the Spurs are old and at the end of their championship run. It was a great run. A great classy team that had a lot of talent and were a force in the league.

But it has come to an end.

Kobe finally has figured out that by engaging his team, the team wins every time. If the team wins, all arrows point back to him. It's all about championships and I don't know what took him so long to grow up and realize it but he has. Now he deserves to be MVP. He never did before that. He was too caught up n his own stats and everyone knew it. Now he is doing what an MVP should be doing. Anything to get your team a win.

Having Gasol their now just changes everything. Odem now has another big man who is as athletic as he is and loves to pass. The two of them fill the paint down low and make it hard for people to come in their. Just ask Boozer. Fisher (although he had a shitty game last night) has been playing like a pure shooting seasoned veteran. Sasha, Roddie, Turiaf, Walton, Farmar all just make it all sweeter. Anyone of those guys can come alive and change the game. The Lakers are playing like a team. They are mastering the triangle offense and they are dangerous.

I see a lot of excuses and trash talking on these boards even after game 2. Maybe you didn't watch the game. The Spurs didn't even look like they belonged. Champions don't do that. The Lakers are back everyone and you better get used to it. If you want to be in denial you can but it will only make you frustrated in the end.

Oh and P.S. - for those of you who don't know, you will be introduced to a guy named Andrew Bymum next year. Pass the torch!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Umm..We have rings already

Not this Lakers team...and the Lakers have no rings since 2002.

[Purple & Gold]

Was it just me, or did I actually hear booing in game 1?

And what did that booing do?? It spurned the Lakers on a 20 point comeback win. That's how Laker fans are. They bask in the glory when they win and they let them know when they're playing like shit. Same way Chick used to call it. The Lakers and especially Kobe feed off of that.

[TampaDude]

Just that the Spurs are the defending champs right now, and they will remain so until they are eliminated.

[heymanooh1]

I'm too lame to come up with anything so I have to bring in another franchise that's irrelevant to the discussion. I forgot this is about Laker vs SpermsFixt it for ya slappy.

[DazedAndConfused]

Why on earth does Laker fan care about getting credit from Spurs fan? I know I don't, that's for damn sure. Seeing the dejected looks on Timmy, Tony, Manu, and Pop's face after suffering a crushing 30pt loss is MORE than enough for me.

And let's be real here, the Spurs are nowhere near 100% right now. We are very fortunate to get them now instead of earlier in the playoffs. But that's WHY the Lakers busted their ass to get the #1 seed, because it allows you to play the hardest opponents last and not early on so you can save your strength when you need it. This series isn't over, but you'd be a fool to think the Lakers are gonna fold like NOH after being up 2-0.

[still.focused]

Any Spurs fan that doesnt give LA credit thus far is an idiot

[spurschick]

This series isn't over, but you'd be a fool to think the Lakers are gonna fold like NOH after being up 2-0.

That series went to seven games. How exactly is that folding?

[Steez]

To advance to the finals, you need 4 wins.
Lakers are just closer to the finish line the SA is, and that is due to the Lakers having home court advantage. Like I said in the previous post, Lakers have not done anything but protect our home court... thats IT!.

Now, game 3 and 4 are going to be very crucial... I would recommend all my fellow Laker fans to calm down and do not count out the champions. If Spurs win 2 in a row and tie up the series, you're going to look like idiots.

Stay Humble, Stay Classy.

[DazedAndConfused]

That series went to seven games. How exactly is that folding?

It's folding because the Hornets basically didn't even compete on the road. They resigned to the fact that they could only win at home and banked on the Spurs stinking it up in NOH for the Game 7. We all know what happened next don't we?

The Lakers won't make that mistake. They know they HAVE to win at least one game on the road.

[heymanooh1]

That series went to seven games. How exactly is that folding?Y'all are hanging onto Spurms beating the Bugs. That shit is over and done. Deal with the Lakers and quit referring to the last series with the Gnats. The Lakers offense is subtantially different from the Bugs since the triangle doesn't rely on a true point guard like Chris Paul to initiate the offense. The Lakers can actually play defense for extended stretches and have better overall team quickness compared to the Sperms. One reflection of this quickness is the substantial number of deflections the Lakers get against an opposing team.

If you haven't noticed, Kobe Bryant hasn't really exerted himself except for about 3 quarters total in this series against the Sperms. He's been playing very relaxed game and has probably forced only a handful of shots so far.

[spurschick]

The Lakers won't make that mistake. They know they HAVE to win at least one game on the road.

Any chance the Hornets thought the same thing?

[heymanooh1]

Any chance the Hornets thought the same thing?Any chance that the Sperms coughed up the series by CHOKING game 1 like the Suns...see what I did there :rolleyes

This is what we have been getting the last week. How can we respect the vast majority of these Laker posters when they can't even use the word "Spurs" instead of some moronic made up nickname.

A healthy Spurs team competes very well with the Lakers (who have played really well for four quarters in the two games). We don't have a healthy team right now and may not get that in this series. Ginobili REALLY concerns me right now. Parker and Duncan can easily get it going in SA.

Whatever the result in this series, the conduct of the Lakers "fans" on this site makes me wish failure for them in the future and makes me glad I am a Spurs fan.

[ChumpDumper]

The thing is no one is able to point out anything spectacular about the Lakers other than Kobe and his effect.....

For example, Chris Paul could do whatever he wants vs. the Spurs. As could David West. As did Peja in the first two games.

Well and good. Stop Chris Paul, and it is over... The Lakers are a team. They feed off eachother... how do beat a team???

Kobe is about 10 points under his playoff average and they blow the Spurs away by 30 points? It's a team effort. The Lakers sooooooooo got this. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The monster game from Kobe will come only when it is necessary. The Sperms need monster games from Duncan, Parker and Ginobili from game 3 and on. Where's the other Sperms scoring going to come from, certainly not the bench 'cause Laker bench > Sperm bench and that has been apparent in the first 2 games.

The Laker may not have Chris Paul. Nor do they have David West. Granted. But did the Hornets ever blow the Spurs away for 30 points???

Tim and Manu sat the entire fourth. Kobe played in the 2nd half of the 4th. Luke Walton or some Laker hit a three at the end of game. Inflated.

Tim and Manu sat the entire fourth. Kobe played in the 2nd half of the 4th. Luke Walton or some Laker hit a three at the end of game. Inflated.

So why did the Spurs sit them out??? They should have played their hearts out. Afterall, this is the WCF, right? You have to have your best out. Why did they sit their best players out? It's ok if they do... but don't make that an excuse that your team was owned by 30 freakin' points. That game reminded me of Team USA vs. Angola.

[OdoMatic]

The Lakers haven't gotten this far on luck. Anyone thinking this was going to be an easy series is kidding themselves. That being said, it's obvious that the Spurs aren't playing Spurs basketball right now and I think even the Lakers were expecting something along the lines of the first half of Game 1.

you are completely right, i expected close,tough games in every match but i was wrong. i only got that in 1 half of the series so far.

your defense has still been good but you just cant find ways to score. ginobli has to lock himself to his bed for a good couple of days.

while it is true you are not playing spurs basketball that is one of the negatives of having such an old team. while you guys are very experienced and have a great team it is obvious that your age has caught up with you guys and just cannot keep up with the lakers.

im not trying to knock the spurs i think you guys are a great team however i feel it is about that time to start getting some nice young guys this offseason instead of going after the michael finley types.

Im reading all these posts,and seeing excuse after excuse..And the thing that gets me is how yall are saying "the lakers are not as good as they look"

i dont get it

You are not as good as you look. If we lose the series we lose the series it is what it is but the reality is through 2 games you have beat a Spur Team who's arguebly 2nd best player is out there playing on one foot. Little hard to beat a top level team when that happens. If Kobe was playing on a bum ankle and you were down 0-2 in the series, you wouldn't be too happy.

[aka_USAPA]

AGREED!! Spoken nicely, at least you didn't use any insults or put downs!!:)

[dbreiden83080]

Oh and P.S. - for those of you who don't know, you will be introduced to a guy named Andrew Bymum next year. Pass the torch!!!!!

LOL, i can't stop laughing at all these Laker clowns that think Bynum is coming back next year and the dynasty will commence, talk about expecting way too much.

[aka_USAPA]

Tim and Manu sat the entire fourth. Kobe played in the 2nd half of the 4th. Luke Walton or some Laker hit a three at the end of game. Inflated.

Look. It's very simple. If you don't want your team embarrassed by 30 points, get your best out there. The Spurs quit. That's really all there is to it.

Yeah, the Lakers blow away the Spurs by 30 points, made them look old. And now, they are adding a 19/11 guy with 3 blocks? You might as well give up like the Spurs gave up in Game 2.

Spurs have been blown out before only to come back and win series, check the last series.

Secondly Bynum has proven nothing other than he is talented. He has not proven he can get and stay healthy, not proven he can play with Gasol, not, Proven he won't wilt under pressure of big games, nothing. Stop going on and on about a guy who has been hurt all year and may or may not end up be a big factor down the line. You have no clue what his future is.

[Lakers Dynasty]

LOL, i can't stop laughing at all these Laker clowns that think Bynum is coming back next year and the dynasty will commence, talk about expecting way too much.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

Did someone lead you to believe that the Lakers Dynasty will commence when Bynum gets back?

No, no, no, my friend.

The commencing has already commenced.

Now.

:lmao @ Laker fan insecurities


Do you give the opposing team concessions when the series isn't over?

Don't read into it much when the team fans focus on what their squad ain't doing right for particular games..
You guys really need to feel validated.

[Mamba24]

I want the Spurs fans to continue to hold onto that, "Well we were down 2-0 to New Orleans and we came back and beat them!" mentality. If it helps you sleep at night.

[ChumpDumper]

I sleep fine regardless.

You're the one who is so insecure he has to try to solicit props for a basketball team to vicariously support your fragile ego.

[DazedAndConfused]

The bottomline is the Spurs are down 0-2. Lakers held serve, lets see if the Spurs can do the same.

No use talking shit like this until the series is over. No Spur fan here will give Laker fan props, get over it. They wouldn't give props if the Lakers won by 50pts each game. That's just how it is. To me, watching Pop, Duncan, Tony, and Manu look like they just found out they have AIDS is more than enough.

[Man of Steel]

Just face it Spurs fans. You are done. I would like to sit here and be polite and say this series going to be close and that its up for grabs but it isn’t. There are so many excuses on these boards filled with false hope. Come on, you aren't Jazz fans or Kings fans. You have seen championships and should know what you are watching by now.

That was domination last night. Never close at all. Just before the season ended we beat you by 20. You can't compete against this laker team. You can say it's the calls, but the calls had nothing to do with last night. You can say it's the shots that you missed. You are right, It WAS about that. The Lakers played great defense!! And guess what? You have to hit your shots to win games. If you don't, you lose. Kinda basic I know. This Laker team is a young athletic team and the Spurs are old and at the end of their championship run. It was a great run. A great classy team that had a lot of talent and were a force in the league.

But it has come to an end.

Kobe finally has figured out that by engaging his team, the team wins every time. If the team wins, all arrows point back to him. It's all about championships and I don't know what took him so long to grow up and realize it but he has. Now he deserves to be MVP. He never did before that. He was too caught up n his own stats and everyone knew it. Now he is doing what an MVP should be doing. Anything to get your team a win.

Having Gasol their now just changes everything. Odem now has another big man who is as athletic as he is and loves to pass. The two of them fill the paint down low and make it hard for people to come in their. Just ask Boozer. Fisher (although he had a shitty game last night) has been playing like a pure shooting seasoned veteran. Sasha, Roddie, Turiaf, Walton, Farmar all just make it all sweeter. Anyone of those guys can come alive and change the game. The Lakers are playing like a team. They are mastering the triangle offense and they are dangerous.

I see a lot of excuses and trash talking on these boards even after game 2. Maybe you didn't watch the game. The Spurs didn't even look like they belonged. Champions don't do that. The Lakers are back everyone and you better get used to it. If you want to be in denial you can but it will only make you frustrated in the end.

Oh and P.S. - for those of you who don't know, you will be introduced to a guy named Andrew Bymum next year. Pass the torch!!!!!


Last time I checked, a series consisted of winning four games.

Not two.

Four.

Second--Spurs have always had at least one if not more games during a series where they were blown away. And they win these series. Check out our playoff success for the past few years.

So--basically--

You've held home court.

That's good.

You blew us away in game two.

Fine.

And?

Do some homework and we'll see you in a few days.

[samikeyp]

You are a liar.

I am a Spurs fan and gave the Lakers plenty of credit to some of your fellow Laker fans last night on this board as did others.

[td4mvp21]

Ironic that a Lakers fan demands credit. Lakers fans never give any team credit.

[SRJ]

Here is the credit I will give to the Lakers.

The Lakers are one of the best teams in the NBA and they are younger, fresher, and more athletic than the Spurs are (who isn't?). All things being equal this would be a six or seven game series but the Spurs are out of gas and the Lakers are good enough to take full advantage.

The Lakers are not so good that they are a lock to win the championship. Either Detroit or Boston have equal chances to defeat them, and both would have HCA.

For that matter, don't write us off just yet.

If that isn't enough credit, go fuck yourself.

[cobbler]

Yes, notice I didn't start a new thread to do it either. You are now on ingore.

Darn. Im crushed!:lmao

You mean like if our starting center wasnt even playing at all? Injuries are a part of the game. Simple as that. It is what it is. Your 2nd best player isnt 100%. Our starting center isnt even playing. It doesnt matter.

Gasol took care of that void and played a significant part of the season taking the place of the lifeless body of Kwame Brown. Next.

Maybe they can wear Magic Johnson masks to simulate the real thing. Stay classy Laker fans.

[genomefreak13]

Gotta admit a 30 point blow out is pathetic home court or not.

At this point..I comfort myself in thinking that SA did that intentionally so the laker's shooting percentage would go down the next game.

[cobbler]

Not really sure how that is relevent. If you are going to complain and say the reason you cant hang is because your starting shooting guard is playing hurt, then i am going to reply with, our starting center cannot play at all. The fact that we have a quality power forward that can replace him for the time being means what? We are a deeper team I guess. But to suggest the scales are off balance because you have a player hurt...just is not factually accurate.

What position does Gasol play right now? Center. Taking Bynum's place and doing a real good job. Bynum has been out of the picture since January and is now recovering from a second surgery. Gasol has had three months to adjust and help the Lakers get the #1 seed. Without Gasol the Lakers are probably not even playing now.

Ginobili has been injured since the Phoenix series and the Spurs have hung in there, but there is no one on the bench to pick up the slack. The Lakers are deeper on the bench right now.

My point is SA has not had time to adjust to their current injury situation. That's all. Gino looks like he has even digressed in the last week.

Again, i just dont see the relevence. The implication was made that the spurs are the better team and the only reason they are not able to beat the lakers is because Manu is hurt. I simply pointed out that we have a starter that is completely out.

As for adjustment, it did not take Gasol 3 months, 3 weeks, or even 3 days to adjust. It was day one.

Without gasol were not playing right now? Brilliant. Without Timmy, neither are you.

If your point was to say the Lakers are the deeper team, well, that's pretty obvious isnt it?

Have a good one.... good luck in game 3!

Go Lakers!

[Killakobe81]

Look series is NOT over I have said in several threads but i do find it disturbing when foolish folks say we are NOT better thn the Suns or NO .... R u FREAKING KIDDING ME?
Would the Suns have come back from 20 down? Does NO have as deep a team or a HOF coach or a backcourt with as much talent AND EXPERIENCE?
Just saying Laker fans dont count your chickens Spur fans better hope their team gives us more respect than i see from MOST fans on here ...or this will end in 5 ...
I think the players will and I still say Lakers in 7 ...

7 Games? The Spurs will be lucky to win 1 game in San Antonio. No discrespect to the champs, just that their time is past... They are walking towards the hanger..., and they know it.

[Killakobe81]

Needy not at all I laugh when i read it ..because either THOSE fans are that dumb ...OR they are blinded by their love for the Spurs ....But if I use the same logic than the Spurs are the weakest team we have played because we did not even blow-out the Nuggets by 30 points or come back from 20 down to beat them ....See how silly that sounds?

Im sorry my logic and reasoning makes me incapable of using faulty analogies to support idiotic fan proclamations ...
