Which Laker fans are in a greater stage of denial?

And by the way, Bynum dislocated one knee cap, and tore ligaments in the other in successive seasons. He's damaged goods. Tim Duncan tore meniscus in one of his knees in 2000 and his athleticism has never been the same. But TD was able to adjust and excel his game because he was already fundamentally sound. I wouldn't the same about Bynum.

Kharma and history is not on your side.

How the hell do the Lakers have bad Karma?

I argue that you don't give him any credit(Nor any other Spur for that matter) for the mere fact that they don't wear Forum Blue & Gold.


Let's see in 2006, the LAL blew a 3-1 lead and got dumped by PHX. Another 1st round LOSER trying to make it to the top. Wouldn't you say that since Artest has yet to play a game as a Laker that you can't really judge ANYTHING until they play say 20 games, before there is anything definitive? No...that's too LOGICAL...isn't it?
Ya lack intellect for a Gay Nurse. :flag:

Don't even reply to him, it gets you nowhere. He will just repeat the same stuff over and over

I'll take Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Artest, and Bynum

ANY DAY OF THE WEEK OVER

Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, RJ, McDyess

At their respective ages. If you want to turn back father time 3-4 years then MAYBE what you're saying makes sense. But as of right now, HELL NO.

Wow, since your gonna compare on paper maybe you should look at last years stats again before you go further with this. Already knew you didn't know anything about basketball outside the Lakers but this is just shooting in the dark. :lmao



Oh wait before you decide to respond I'll just post your response for ya since we already know what you'll say....

All that matters is winning the championship.

Clearly winning regular season games is your consolation prize.

Hence House = bandwagon fan

So House did you look up those stats since you wanna compare them on paper? :lmao

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I was right here throughout the entire Rocket series. Go back and read the game threads.

But please, don't let little things like facts get in your way.

Laker fans on here never made excuses for losing when it's clear our team wasn't good enough. We weren't good enough to beat Boston in '08, we were in '09 but never got the chance. I believe we will be in '10 assuming Odom resigns.

At least I can be honest when my team flat out isn't championship material. It was painfully obvious the Spurs weren't last season.

Man this is going to cost you a lot. You can't call that "a team".

fact: KG injury prevented Celtics from reaching the Finals
fact: Manu injury prevented Spurs from reaching the Finals
fact: Yao injury prevented Rockets from beating the Lakers

fact: Lakers won an easy finals and championship because of the injuries to the 3 other contenders.

fact: Manu injury prevented Spurs from reaching the Finals - :lmao, the Spurs just weren't that good.

fact: Yao injury prevented Rockets from beating the Lakers - Lakers actually matched up better with Yao in the game. He slowed the game down considerably, which works in LA's advantage.

fact: Lakers won an easy finals and championship because of the injuries to the 3 other contenders. - Lakers played the best EC team available and whooped them 4 -1.

pathetic.

just viewing the endless back/forth, I'd say both fan bases are in stages of denial.

I wish some spurs fan will just accept the fact that the Lakers are the champs and they are currently the best team in the league.

That's no knock on our team-we have NOTHING to be ashamed or defensive about; we're still good team. We won 50 games and we won our division despite playing inconsistent and subpar basketball. Yes we lost in the first round but it's not as if we hadn't lost to this team before (when the stakes were much higher).

As for the "injury" excuse, injuries are a part of the game so teams have to deal the best way possible but losing key players impacts your team-Manu was out most of the year and Tim was not healthy did impact the Spurs play.....not an excuse but a FACT!

And another thing about excuses, that's not an exclusive of Spurs fans...Laker fans have done the same as have Mav fans, Suns fans.....so that broken record that isn't worth listening to afterwhile.

Even if the Lakers lose Odom they are still the favorties caz the are the champions but the Spurs will give them a run for their money.

So you speak on behalf of all Laker fans now? You know that's bullshit cause once the Lakers lost there where lots of excuses on how Bynum would've made the difference.

Which is true but according to House nobody in the West is on the Lakers level.

Fact: The Manu injury prevented the Spurs from losing to the Lakers in the WCF's

Fact: The Rockets played better without Yao, and the only reason the Rockets won a game after Yao went out was because LA played lazy.

Fact: At some point the players who are injured EVERY YEAR (Yao, Mcgrady, Ginobili) can't be used as an excuse anymore. It is painfully obvius those players (especially Yao) can't be relied on that late in a season, so the excuse, ''Oh but Yao was injured'' becomes unusable, because everybody knows he's going to be injured by then. He can't be counted on to provide in the playoffs

:lol

these laker trolls are funny. come in pairs

You are an idiot. Boston played Orlando first, and if they won, they would have played Cleveland in the ECF's.

And you can't use the Yao and Ginobili excuse every year, because it's becoming obvious that counting on them is a risk

Laker Fans made excuses then. The Spur Fans are doing the same now.

Every year fanbases make excuses
