No need to leave just because you're getting your shit pushed in at home on national television. It's happened to almost everyone here.
Rockets will being back the same squad next year.
I dont get the 6 years schtick. Is it because of '09?
Don't come back then, Cal.
My last post was in 2009 before about a month ago.Quote:

Hey I remember six years ago the Lakers were relevant!
Yes they were.
I remember 5 years ago when Artest put it back just up the street.Quote:

They were broken and beat down as the season went on--if Carl Landry didn't get injured, the 22-game win streak may have lasted longer (he was routinely putting up a double double during it). Battier played late in the year knowing he needed surgery at the end of the year. The way they were playing when Yao went down and even immediately after, no one was gonna stop them. Win another few games and they would have been the 1-seed.
The next year, they lost T-Mac and still advanced out of the first round for the first time in over a decade. In that series, they lost Dikembe Mutumbo to a career ending injury then lost Yao 3 games into the next series against the eventual champion Lakers...and still forced them into a Game 7 after winning two more games.
So yes, they very well may have won back-to-back titles if they were not bitten by the injury.
That's the one where Battier was chasing Kobe all over with that huge "Beat Kobe" binder. Though Bats had no trouble solving Duncan in '13. tee, hee.Quote:

Yeah Lakers sleptwalked through the series and turned it on when it counted the most in game 7.Quote:
