What do I have to offer? You claimed the Spurs would have to go through the Lakers. I said not necessarily at which time you grabbed your pom poms and started with the cheerleading.

Back up your talk or shut up. Say something that makes sense, anything.

Oh you are 12...

If the regular season didn't matter, Robinson wouldn't be in the WCF.

I guess Ben Wallace owns Shaq, or maybe Chauncey owns Kobe.

Hey, who was that crying to S. A. Smith about wanting to be traded a few years back? Never saw Robinson do that.

It's really easy to be a corporate fan, always aware that your mega franchise will make the deals, regardless of cost, to get your team back to the level it was. Hell, anyone could do that. However, the Spurs have not purchased ONE ring, not one. We won them all. Your team went out multiple times and bought star caliber players, a star caliber coach and then sat back and bragged about how good they were.

Now Miami is doing the same thing and I have seen dozens of you Laker Fakers bitch about it. Meanwhile the Spurs keep building teams and developing players that we find in places other than the front page of Sports Illustrated.

The Spurs were winning 50+ games because of Dave. Many of those teams had no business winning 50 games, and that's been said by some of his contemporaries (opposing players and coaches).

LA, Portland, Utah ... those were teams. They had depth and great coaching. You know full well how different regular-season and post-season success are. Usually once the Spurs got to the playoffs, teams would just load up on D-Rob and completely expose his supporting cast and coaching. Had Dave decided to re-enter the Draft -- something I'm sure most people would have decided to do given the options -- your Lakers may have very well prevented Jordan from that first 3-peat.

And let's get this straight, I've already told you I believe Hakeem deserves to be a little higher on the all-time pecking order than Dave. I'm not arguing anything with regards to that belief. But there's a lot of misperception with regards to the type of player Dave was -- how truly great he was -- on account of the Rockets series and all the highlights played since.

The guy played in San Antonio -- no one cared to set the record straight unless they were a Spurs or Robinson fan.

Dude I think we're ultimately arguing on the same side here. D-Rob was great but Hakeem was just a little better and more well-rounded. Agreed.

This Laker team is simply not the same as last season. I thought they were when the season started, tbh.

Anybody has a shot at Staples these days (well, except the Cavs), and they keep deluding themselves with Gasol 'just coasting', when they've run him to the ground early on. Too many miles on those legs in the past few seasons.
Bynum is a ticking bomb, Fish is a gift that keeps on giving and he can't even score at a decent clip anymore, the bench turned out to be a turd, and Kome can shoot them out of any game plus he likes to roam on D because he can't stay in front of anybody anymore.

Not impressed nor scared with this edition of the Lakeshow.

I'd favor the Lakers over the Spurs if everything plays out the way I expect it to but I'm not nearly as confident saying that as I would have been in the last two years.

The Lakers are showing wear and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if they look like the same gassed bunch they were when the Spurs bounced them in '03 after their 3-peat -- that team's played a shitload of basketball, not even mentioning the International play.

It's not 1995, and this Laker team is not that Spurs team.

You can keep trying to deflect it, but this Laker team stated that they care. And then proceeded to get the shit beat out of them. :lmao

What a freak this guy was. I remember him then, we took it for granted because there were so many great centers then, but what a guy like this would do for a team today is unbelievable.

I never understood a team that trades all it's role players in the off season after winning a ring. It doesn't make much sense. I can see it working a couple of times at most, but eventually you are going to roll snake eyes.

Jesus Christ you're fucking stupid...if the Spurs hope to make the Finals they'll have to go through LA to get there.


Please, is there any rational or sane person in this universe that doesn't think this is the case? Don't try and hinge your argument on semantics or technicalities, then run and hide like a bitch when called out on it.

So genius, you're saying the Spurs don't "necessarily" have to go through LAL to get to the finals (your insinuations, not mine)...so enlighten us as to who you HOPE can do your dirty work for you.


Please...i'm on the edge of my seat

A much better Lakers team last season needed HCA advantage to get past OKC... Lakerfan has short memory.

I don't even think the Lakeshow will be #2 seed, tbh. They luckied out that they're on a soft schedule right now and Dallas got injured. But eventually the tough stretch will come around and we'll really see if the intensive practices paid off and if Gasol is really coasting.

Role players like Vujacic, MBenga, Morrison, Powell and Farmar? Have you even watched their careers on the Lakers?:lmao


As BJ's post above notes, LAL is longer in the tooth--and in that 2002 offseason Mitch sat on his hands as our role players got older, slower, or even more ineffective. This year Mitch learned from his mistake and brought in bench guys that actually log good minutes.

Some of you people should know better than to blow your wads on the regular season...you sound like Suns fans tbph

Again, that's your opinion. We know about opinions of Laker fans.

Might as well say we will have to go through Phoenix... wait.. probably not.

Or Dallas.. maybe?

Your team came very close to being bounced by the fucking Thunder.

I will keep my options open.

I hope we meet you in the 1st round. However, any team in the playoffs can beat you if you don't have HCA, maybe even if you do, especially since you have no way of knowing the state of your team come playoff time.

To be honest, with the effort and poor play we've seen, they'll be lucky to make the playoffs. My fear is that we'll ultimately go .500 in our last 54 games (only 41 left now) and have no shot of advancing in the playoffs.

Actually I was thinking of Trevor Ariza, but whatever team gets you there got you there. You repay them by dumping them on some losing Eastern squad.

Hey though, with your "scouts" that become coaches and GMs of other franchises, you can acquire good talent like Gasol without any bickering from other teams.

^
This. as much as I loved watching D-rob play when I was little, Hakeen was a slightly better. I think over all, D-rob as a Career was a better Defensive player one on one(except for 1995 Conf Finals of course, no ones perfect) and hakeem had great footwork as an offensive player. somebody had to win.

As of today, Lakeshow only played against 10 teams over .500 so far. Their record is 5-5, with all 5 loses coming on the road.

Only time will tell. At the beginning of the season I was telling everyone that the Lakers are going to be the team to beat, and I still believe that simply because they are the defending champs, however that doesn't mean the new champs will have to go through them. It's likely they will, but not assured.
