Trumped Again By The Lakers

Shit, Im glad they got Artest and got rid of Ariza. He'll get in touble in L.A., go apeshit at some point. Artest has proven to not be a difference maker at any point in his career.

I like this move by the Lakers.

that soft guy just helped lead his team to a title while your spurs got stomped in 5 games against the freaking mavs...you have no reason to be arrogant.

richard freaking jefferson isn't the answer to your problems.

Who said anyone is scared of the Spurs???!!!

You have the best team in the league and your team just won the championship. The Spurs got knocked out of the first round. No, the Spurs aren't better than your team and your team would beat the Spurs handily in the season and best of 7 playoff series. Feel better?

I don't get why you feel the need to belabor the obvious points over and over and over.........

And for the record, while the Spurs may not be all that, they're not exactly lottery material either. They won 50 games this year, they won their division-at least respect that.

Homers like exstatic feared that he would go nuts like he did in Indiana about 5 seasons ago.

Well, I hope his performance with the undermanned Rockets showed you something.

Now the Lakers are more powerful than ever and the Spurs' offseason positioning is all for nothing.





Fvck.

Wasn't particularly close either. When the Rockets had to sit Battier and moved RonRon to Kobe, it had roughly the same effect as to when the Spurs sat Bruce and switched Udoka onto Kobe in 2008.

LMAO at Casper returning to true emo bitch form.

To trump the Spurs they'll need to swap Fisher for Devin Harris.

+1

Completely agree with this.

Lakers Swapping < Spurs Improving

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

what a spineless pussy!!!

pathetic.

how does someone with the intellect of the OP (ie zero) have over 1 million posts?!

just another added ego to that team
looks like a recipe for disaster

STill gotta wait and see how it shakes out.

Glad your looking at it from such an objective point of view.

i do think its funny that laker fans were mostly quiet when we traded for RJ and drafted Blair but come out from under their rocks when they sign Ron Artest.

bandwagon at its best.

You came back for this shit??
Just go crawl back into the hole you came out of.
You think the season is already over before it even started. Some fan you are. :rolleyes

wow it must suck to live in such a pessimistic life, to go and say we are good as done before the season starts is just coward...

In the words of Shaq your a master of Panic!

lol Blair

Always nice to hear from the homer Laker fan:lol You scared?

nothing like getting "trumped" in the offseason.

I'll leave the "trumping" to the postseason of 2010.

Okay, first of all, Bynum is a fucking pussy bitch and he ain't ever going to amount to shit in the NBA. SEVERELY overrated by Laker fans, it's almost sickening. You would think his jersey said Abdul-Jabbar on the back of it the way people around him suck his dick. He fucking blows, he is soft, afraid to go out there and bang around and rebound, and he is bicurious on top of that (which really doesn't speak much for his game, but still, fuck him).

As for the Artest acquisition...it's the Lakers panicking to Ariza leaving and the Spurs/Cavs/Magic getting stronger. Odom staying there isn't even a guarantee, seeing as how we haven't heard shit about the Lakers offering him a contract or anything yet. He could bolt just like Ariza, and then what?

Optimistically for Laker fans, this is their outlook versus us:

Kobe - Ginobili
Parker - Fisher
Artest - Jefferson
Duncan - Gasol
Wallace/McDyess (assuming it happens) - Bynum

You better believe Wallace or McDyess will own Bynum's soft ass out there. Jefferson will probably have the duty of guarding Kobe, and Manu will be on Artest most likely (see Kings vs. Spurs 2006). Duncan and Gasol? Easy, chalk it up for Duncan there. And Parker...Tony Parker is better than any player the Lakers have besides Kobe.

And who do they have on their bench? Even if they keep Odom, they really only have one man off the bench. Farmar? Walton? VUJACIC? :lmao :lmao :lmao

Ultimately, Odom will play a big part in what happens. But, if he decides to leave, it will be an easier Spurs win than I originally thought. :toast
