Shut the up.

Funny because those '04 Lakers STILL WHOOPED THE SPURS ASS. I love it when Spurs fans talk about that team cuz they didn't win the Finals yet fail to mention that they got their ass whooped 4-2 (lost 4 games straight, ing pathetic) by them.

WTF cares? They acquired some guy from Memphis that reminds me of Kevin "I will never get passed the 2nd round" Garnett. And he's all at once supposed be the saviour that will take the Lakers to the Finals? Granted, I think the Lakers and the Spurs will both be in the WCF (if the Lakers can get by the Jazz), but that's about as far as they'll go. Kobe and Fisher are about the only players for the Lakers now that have even SEEN beyond the WCF let alone play in it. And when you get to that level, experience and mental toughness plays an even bigger role.

KG is wannabe thug. Pierce is a wannabe gangsta. Both are pussy ass es who shrink up in the clutch.

There is nothing that you've said that warrants a response due to it's complete brainless content, but Paul Pierce stabbed 11 times makes him tough at the very least. Your Mom isn't...she should have had an abortion. She was weak, she created a re -shoulda killed it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Atlanta beat Boston in round 1.

[Mavs<Spurs]

LA fan:

To have any credibility, you've got 2b real.

Lakers haven't done anything yet. The Nuggets aren't a good team. Their offense and their defense are horrible.

We're up 3-0 against the Suns, but to be honest, the first couple of games we were fortunate to come out with the W. Game 3, we're on fire.

Lakers might or might not be able to beat the Suns.

The Spurs have actually done something in the playoffs this year and the Lakers haven't.

Spurs are the defending champs.


Top Tier West teams are: Spurs, Lakers, Suns in that order.

Second Tier: New Orleans, Utah, Dallas in that order

Third Tier: Rockets, Nuggets in that order.


Strengths of LA: Passing, depth

Spurs: Defense, 3 superstars, poise, experience

Tim will be the best player in the series. His impact will be felt through his defense in the paint, his ability to space the floor for our shooters, his rebounding and his ability to score on the block.

He may not (probably won't) score the most points, but astute observers will see that he had a bigger impact on the series than any other player.

Playoff Spurs are completely different than regular season Spurs.

Who's going to guard Tony Parker?

Bowen will neutralize Kobe. Kobe will still have high scoring games, but he won't be able to decide the game.

Quite honestly, I don't see any way in which the Lakers could beat the Spurs over a 7 game series.

Maybe the Lakers win a game. Maybe they don't.

The Spurs know how to get it done in the playoffs. The Spurs have played together and got it done in multiple Finals. In crunch time, they know what plays to run and where the other members of the team will be.

Spurs are clutch.

Good job getting to the playoffs.

Lakers don't have much of a chance to beat this Spurs team.

Tim Duncan 40 points 15 boards 4 assists 3 blocked shots got it done in 2OT

Tony Parker 41 points 12 assists

Manu Ginobili is the leading scorer on the team this year

Spurs have 3 players who can erupt for more than 40 points.



That's 4 trophies and the Finals MVP for each of those trophies is still on the team!

Whooped the Spurs ass?

1st 2 games: We won (at home)

Next 2 Games: Lakers won (at home)

Game 5: Epic Shot by Duncan, followed by the most controversial shot (*asterisk**********************, and one more *) ever which led to a HUGE game 5 win for the Lakers.

Game 6: Hard to follow up such a deflating loss, whoever wins game 5 wins the series.

So whooped the Spurs ass? I don't know what series you were watching, but I would say it was a pretty damn good series.

I live in LA and deal with Laker fans all the time, so I have argued every argument about that series as possible. The thing I have found out, is that Spurs fans will be honorable in defeat (just as their players) and talk a good conversation even after being ed in the ass by the league with .4

However, you give Lakers one bit of credit, and they will go on for hours about how great their team is.

Other thing which is obvious, I almost hate to say it:

They got crushed by the Pistons in the Finals.

And he is talking smack about his 04 team when they don't even win it all?


What's up with that?

Another child left behind?

[Mavs<Spurs]

Without Shaq, Lakers have done nothing in the postseason.


Trophies won with Shaq don't show how good this current Lakers team is since he isn't on their team anymore! That's especially obvious since Shaq was the person who won the Finals MVP every year that the Lakers won it in this decade!

BTW, Magic, Kareem and Worthy aren't on this current Lakers team either. So, what they did in the past isn't relevant to how good this current Lakers team is.


On the other hand, the Finals MVP for the first three Spurs trophies is still on the team. The best 3 players for the 03, 05, and 07 Spurs Championship teams are still playing for this current Spurs team! Therefore, their championships do help support the case that this Spurs team is the team to beat, the team with the best chance to win it all and better than this current Lakers team!

[SRJ]

Its quite obvious you're an arrogant bag that gives Laker Fans the same name they've always had.

Fixed

he's just living up to his moronic posts that he always throws in.....thats why there's that whole KFC thread devoted to him too. and his little troll butt buddies dont bring much to the table either.

The Spurs bent the Suns over the entire first round and now you're sucking SA's . Yup, you must be a Phoenix fan.

What have your Lakers done to deserve the salad tossing you give them on a regular basis? They beat Denver? WOW!!! You mother ers are on a roll now!! I quarantee you the minute you run into a team that can play defense your playoffs are over. NBA champs huh. What have you been taking to think that you have what it takes to beat the Spurs. You below average defense playing es might not make it to the Western Conference finals much less the NBA finals.If you knew anything about basketball you would know the Spurs are a matchup nightmare for the Lakers.Who checks Duncan,Parker, and Ginobili? To all the level headed Laker fans out there I apologize. This is directed at this mouth in particular.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Newsflash: this is what I called the "hackingthespurs" curse. Both teams that won against the spurs in an ******* way went to lose the NBA finals in the most horrifying way.

2004 lakers: 0.4 shot controversy - went to the finals and lost against the "unknown", "inferior" Pistons - btw they lost in a horrible way.

2006 mavs: lots of controversy there mainly on ref calls and other blunders - went to the finals and lost against the "susprising" miami heat. They melted down and got ed slapped in the ass. Next year the Heat would become one of the worst teams of the league.

Have fun losing in the 1st round again. Next year as well. And the year after.

I would love a heathy Rockets to meet a healthy Lakers in the Playoffs. I have a feeling Jellybean will help us bust our first round cherry.

[DazedAndConfused]

Laker fans here, myself included, are mostly ing around with you s because you take everything so damn seriously. Do you honestly believe any of us give a about the 1st round? This is LA we're talking about here, we don't hang ing division les up at Staples. It's all about championships, anything less is failure. Considering this team was expected to not even make the playoffs with Kobe being traded mid-season I'd say things are looking quite good for Laker fans. That more than anything is why they are celebrating IMHO, not because they got out of the 1st round.

A lot of people here are quite short-sided with their comments. What you are seeing from the Lakers right now is only the start of what's to come, when Bynum and Ariza return LAL has the potential to put the clamps down on teams on both ends of the floor. Dominating versatile offense, amazing rebounding and interior shot blocking, league's best closer, leagues' best coach, and one of the best benches in the league period. Gasol, Bynum, Odom, and Kobe all under the age of 30 will give this team a 5 year window at least to win more les together.

26-4 with Gasol in the lineup. If you're not paying attention, you should be.

i'll give you that the lakers have put together a good team....but im not sure if i buy into the odom & gasol playing for 5 more years...that might be pushing it

Okay, so I'll give you the due that you have earned:

1. you went 22-4 during the regular season (with Gasol)
2. you went 4-0 in the postseason against Denver.

Congratulations.


What else has this Lakers team done? Or similar versions of this Lakers team?


See, what I 'm getting at.


You want respect. You have to go earn it.

The way you do that is by taking trophies.

If we win tonight (hopefully), we are quite likely to beat New Orleans.

You are going to have to beat Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili in the Western Conference Finals.

I'd say you are serious underdogs.

and Utah isn't Denver. I doubt that it will be quite as easy.


Until Lakers prove otherwise, I would say that the best teams in the West go:

1. Spurs
2. Lakers
3. Suns
4. Hornets
5. Jazz
6. Mavericks
7. Rockets
8. Nuggets

The East is looking like the Least since

Boston = Atlanta, which is 8 games under 500.

If Boston has this much trouble with Atlanta and Detroit struggles with Philadelphia, then the Eastern Conference Representative might not be any better than Cleveland last year.

Boston is not nearly as good as I thought.
Detroit is as good as I think, but took games 1 and 3 off.
By beating Philadelphia in Game 4, they showed they can get it together when they need to.

And when you say bust your first round cherry, you mean get destroyed in 5 games while Kobe puts his up T-Quit's ass.

Only a delusional rube who knows absolutely nothing about basketball would actually believe the Rockets could beat this Lakers team in the playoffs. Hilarious.
