Which Laker fans are in a greater stage of denial?

[whottt]

Realize that the Lakers just won the NBA Championship and your team lost to a pathetic Mavericks team 4-1.

Yeah and the year before that you guys lost in the finals and last year you didn't...2 years ago the Spurs were the NBA champions, then they weren't the next year.

Things change.

You seriously believe this years Spurs team is going to be as bad as the one that started Matt Bonner and Michael Finley?

You guys added something, you also lost something...the Spurs didn't lose anything and added more than the Lakers did.


You are going to make a total ass of yourself if you keep bringing up last years first round loss and applying it to this team...that was then this is now, and it's not the same team.


The Spurs are definitely going to be better than last year, that's not automatically true with LA, it's possible they'll be worse.

And I wouldn't talk a whole lot of about injuries either...Gasol wasn't exactly AC Green in Memphis...and going all the way to the finals 2 years in a row takes a physical toll on players. Doing it once takes a toll...

[Spurs_210]

Wow, you really don't understand about the prospect of offseason movements/improvements do you?

He really doesn't... no basketball knowledge just being a I mean homer

[SPURSfanINoc]

off the subject, i have a question for house. why is your signature of pj with 10 rings if you're a lakers fan? didn't he win 6 with the bulls and 6 > 4. just wondering.

[DrHouse]

No on paper the Spurs do not look better than the Lakers.

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, NO.

Lol @ Laker fan.. I am a Spurs fan and i live in LA. Funny when lakers have the losing years you guys don't talk about Lakers at all.. When Lakers don't have a chance of winning they talk about Dodgers and simple ignore the team..

You guys are so biase.. When Kobe is shooting to much and the team lose because of it you blame him so much. When he wins doing it you guys praise the guy..

I'll give it to your team.. your the champ/chumps.. I like the fact that you come in here and debate. It makes it more interesting. I can't wait for your team to be a regular team.. After kobe retires your team sucks.. no prospect what so ever...

When tim Duncan and Manu retires.. We have more hopes.. We draft better players than you guys.. Lakers buy their players (like the yankees)

[Spursfan 87]

Spurs vs. Lakers: Player vs player
Parker >> Fisher
Manu << Kobe
RJ > Artest
Duncan > Gasol
Mcdyess = Bynum
Hill = Farmar
Mason > Vulajic
Finley = Walton
Haislip < Odom (Im going to sign him for you)
Ian = Mbenga (I pretty sure that ian is going to be better than Mbenga)
Blair = Powell (same thing as Ian)
Bonner > Morison
Hairston = Brown
Jack ? Sun Yue (who the is Sun Yue)
M.Williams ? Elonu (who the is Elonu)

Oh you guys signed Odom? news to me

I don't think kobe is>> than Ginobli
Bynum<McDyess
Blair>Powell
Morrison I think will prove greater than Bonner
Sun Yue is a 6'9 point guard, an interesting prospect, and Elonu is a 6'10 PF/C who played for Texas A & M, another interesting prospect. William>Elonu, but I can't tell with Jack yet, I would say Sun Yue gets the edge right now.

I can't wait to see these teams compete

[DPG21920]

LMAO at Odom>Haislip. As of right now, Odom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>haislip

[iggypop123]

im shocked spurs fans didnt say Blair>>>Gasol

[Trainwreck2100]

im shocked spurs fans didnt say Blair>>>Gasol

that doesn't need to be said its been accepted as one of the law's of physics its called Blair's law

nice starting lineup. you wanna compare benches now?

[DrHouse]

How can the Champs be in denial? Whats there to deny... us being champs? We upgraded when Ariza left by adding Ron the Beast. Shannon will be an upgrade over Farmar. Bynum will be better. Kobe, Pau, and Odom will do their thing.

Spurs fans are the only people in denial. In-fact, you guys should be focusing on getting out of the first round, an pray you don't meet the Mavs in the first round.

P.S. That Blair kid looks like a KG wanna be. Not with the skills, but with all the yelling and chest pounding. What a .

Exactly. What the do Laker fans have to be in denial about?

The Lakers are the Champs. They won the ship. They upgraded with Ron and are getting a fully healthy Bynum back with the same core.

You think we're ing scared of your 37th draft picks? GTFO.

[Man In Black]

They upgraded with Ron and are getting a fully healthy Bynum back with the same core.

Curious Nurse head...why is it after 2 injury plagued seasons with Bynum, that you think he's going to be healthy but at the same time, don't give Duncan & Ginobili a chance at health? Give me something more than age Nurse.

Also-YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME CORE...YET.

The #37 pick should've gone lottery. If he was chosen by the Lakers with the last pick in the 1st instead of them selling the pick to NYK because Doc Buss is POOR, then you'd be calling Dejuan the best PF ever drafted by the Lakers. Admit it...OK you won't but you know I'm right.
Anytime you want to talk LAL basketball...I got you countered.

I think I know you're team BETTER than you do. Been watching this game since I first moved to California in 1974.

I don't think you have the pedigree to be posting your drivel on this board but I gotta say,"You're a lightning rod for controversy." AKA "You're a in' attention who Spurs fans like to bag on."

[DrHouse]

I'm not pinning the Laker's championship hopes on unproven rookies. You are.

The bottom line is the Lakers have nothing to prove to anybody. They are the champs until they are dethroned.

The Spurs are just another 1st round playoff LOSER trying to make it back to the top. Who knows if they'll get there, they have to play some games before we can say anything definitive.

One thing is for certain, rookies almost NEVER make the difference in their 1st year. Playoff basketball is a whole different beast that requires experience and a mental approach that rookies just can't gain until they've gone through it.

You are assuming the Lakers go through the entire season unscathed of injury. This will be the first season they will have the target on their backs. And part of the burden they will have to bear is the Laker fan is talking, building up their invincibility. Getting to three straight NBA Finals isn't a cake walk, ass. Keep yapping, House.

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.

Almost Never? What kind of paradoxical nonsense are you saying now Nurse head? Let's see in 1979 a Rookie PG helped lead his team to the NBA Finals. Once there, he also was chosen as the NBA Finals MVP. You said Rookies don't have that mental approach. Whatever Loser. Besides, it's not about Blair at all. 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.

The Spurs are just another 1st round playoff LOSER trying to make it back to the top. Who knows if they'll get there, they have to play some games before we can say anything definitive.

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.

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

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.



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

Realize that the Lakers just won the NBA Championship and your team lost to a pathetic Mavericks team 4-1.

[DrHouse]

I can't wait to play the Lakers in the regular season. The only down side is that we wont be able to fully enjoy the win for two possible reasons A) DrHouse has shown that he only shows up when he can be all "Lakers are the best, Spurs suck" hence his absence during the rocket series. And B) the Lakers fans will make excuses. "That was a lucky shot by Mason, had Kobe hit that shot at the end we would have won, it's only the regular season we won the championship.

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?

[DrHouse]

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.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I don't think a team that got soundly beaten by a pathetic Mavericks squad 4-1 in the 1st round despite having HCA can claim superiority over a team that just won the NBA championship.

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

[cheguevara]

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.

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.
