I could have said the same thing to you about the Lakers in 2008. You should be banned for ALL your posts.
It is ok for you to be a homer, I don't care. What I do have a problem with is the fact you are basically calling people out for doing the same. Hypocrite.
I understand you are a media puppet and are only concerned with what the so-called 'experts' say, and turn a blind eye to the obvious weaknesses in your team. I am sometimes guilty of the same.

this .
we may only be 1-2 against them, but i want denver first round.
birdman just went down.
our win was IN denver.
and they're 4-6 in their last ten.
the lakers, the mavs, bring on the nuggets first round!!!!
nevermind, just saw they're upcoming schedule...
there's not a chance in they'll get the 2 or 3 spot. only game they should win would be the clippers
You wish.
And you don´t own Manu, not even close![]()
no it wouldn't ya dumb
Since Kobe's never been the best team on any Laker squad to eliminate the Spurs, I highly doubt that.
No not really. When they were Kobe's Lakers they could barely make the playoffs.
Anybody else think the Lakers recent losing streak is an attempt to avoid a first round match up with the Spurs?
Regular season ok, we've sucked. But playoff basketball? I'd rather have Portland or the Thunder, even the slumping Nuggets.
No. That's insane.
The only thing Duncan's relying on Ginobili's heroics for is to keep his string of 50 win seasons intact. That's a looong way from when "Kobe's" Lakers were four games under .500 in three seasons and failed to win a single playoff series.
Not a surprising opinion from you, since two of the three les the Lakers won with Shaq and Kobe required major injuries to the Spurs in order to happen - a little factoid you neglect to mention as always when talking about Kobe's "dominance" over the Spurs.![]()
Hey, that would mean that Duncan won 2 of those 4 when Shaq & Kobe were together. Oh yeah, at a time when Shaq was the clear leader of the Lakers. Oh and he wasn't traded away. Boy Blunder threw him under the bus after Eagle and then pouted to the point that Dr. Buss was forced to rebuild. So for those 2 years with Kobe as the ipso facto leader...complete suckage. No 2 ways about it. Complete suckage. And had it not been for some collusional back-door dealings that got Gasol to LA, the LAL would be just another team fighting for the playoffs. Think about that.
And for 2008, yeah the LAL won, but do you admit that Ginobili's foot issues hampered him to the point that he couldn't be his dominant self? Your answer will point out that you are either honest or jafo?
Working on the LAL weaknesses, but am distracted by the game. I'll put it on here eventually.
And whose fault is it that the Lakers traded away Shaq?

LOL @ Kobe The Bull Gravano..
News flash: The best closer in the NBA doesn't play for the Lakers, and probably hasn't since Zeke from Cabin Creek.
I don't mind fans speculating on first round matchups but I ing hate hearing players and coaches talk about wanting to avoid the Lakers. The standard response should be "We'll play whoever we play" and that's all.
This.
I hate hearing this too. Pop or Tim or Manu---should change this already---I mean c'mon get a chip on the shoulder, cop an at ude, at least publicly...
JAFO
Just another in obstinate!
Are you accepting my $50 against your $250? You did say 5-1 odds. Should they meet, the terms are the Spurs either win the series or get to game 7 and I win $250 plus my $50 back. You get $50 if the LAL wins in 6 games or less.
They can lose, history can repeat. Even legendary LAL teams can lose in Round 1...don't you remember Coop flat on his back after Ralph Sampson's Houston Rockets team beat the LAL in Round 1?For starters, Andrew Bynum is a huge missing piece against Tim Duncan. Pau Gasol did a great job back on March 24th, when Duncan was struggling. Today, Duncan ran over Gasol like a freight train. Gasol might as well have been tied to the tracks by some 1920's film villain with a handlebar mustache.
Playing the Lakers in the first round? Means either no Bynum, or one struggling to get back into rhythm. We informed you earlier that Bynum's struggling to recover from the Achilles strain that's sidelined him for two weeks. Another two weeks is in no way out of the realm of possibility. If San Antonio can get a matchup with LA without Bynum? That's preferable than if Bynumzilla is at full strength.
Then there's Kobe Bean Bryant. Bryant is somehow managing to take tons of shots and miss a high percentage, impressive for a superstar. Bryant was 8 of 24 today, going 13 of 47 since signing his massive extension. But this is Kobe Bryant. He's going to wake up. But if this slump is the result of the myriad injuries Bryant's suffered, you want to catch him before he heals and goes back to, you know, being Bryant. It's probably not going to work, but it's the best shot.
Agreed!!!! If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Everything goes through LA so they'll have to face them at some point. I still don't like the Spurs chances against them in a playoff series but today was a good confidence booster.
Besides Bynum being injured, and Ron, I will do something really stupid in a playoff game, Artest, I think that Kobe is not 100% healthy. He looks sluggish and alittle beatup the past couple months. This years Lakers team is not as dominant as last years team IMO.
it's been a while since my last post... Great game SPURS.. Bring on the Fakers...
I can't understand why, for the love of me, you guys here think that the Spurs can beat a Lakers team that got his ass handed to them by 19 points at home by said Spurs without Parker and Hill in the Playoffs. Makes no sense, just dosen't make any sense.![]()
