You obviously do since ya brought it up. Dallas fan is used to pointing to regular season success so I laid it out in a way that you could understand.
1st round exit to a 7 seed

Regular season games
We are talking Finals here
Bron to Dallas is the best possible outcome for the Lakers franchise other than to Bron to the Clippers. Sure fire way to watch the 2nd most talented player in the league rot away into irrelevance.:
Geez... do these people actually watch games?
What's funny is that in 2008 every Lakers fans were saying that Kobe was absolutely unstoppable. Now they're falling in the same mistake.
To their credit, they're just regurgitating what Magic+Cavs fans also were saying just a couple of weeks ago.
Mog can only talk about when the Lakers were missing two starters in 2008 because that's the only way the Celtics could ever defeat this current Lakers squad.
Shame the Lakers aren't missing two starters this time around.
Not to mention chemistry. That 2008 core only played about 50 games together. The Lakers are so much ing better than they were 2 years ago it's hilarious that anyone would even use a 2 year old example seriously.![]()
I'm not worried, you'll find some other excuse. Like you're finding now for the 2008 team when, at the time, you predicted the same stuff you're predicting now.
For example, if now Ariza has suddenly become a starter for the 2008 team, there's nothing that can save Lakers fans from their own fantasies.
Ariza was a guy who started 3 games for the Lakers in 2008 and averaged 18 mpg. Now we're finding out he was a starter and a key-cog in their line-up.
You guys live in your own world, it doesn't make sense for rational people to discuss with you.
Crucify em mog, send their asses to the tree of woe.
And Bynum being a starter is irrelevant. Odom is the finisher, and he played in those 2008 Finals.
There are no excuses for the collapse in '08. The Celtics simply beat our brains out, Kobe included. Have we learned our lessons?
Kobe talks the talk. By the time we showed up there in '08 Kobe had been talking trash to the lion's share of those ringless humps for 10 years. They were absolutely lit, and out for blood. Kobe can usually back up his talk, but, they steamrolled his ass along with everybody else.
He, we, all of us are damn fortunate to get back to the scene of the slaughter, of our humiliation less than two years later.
Finish it.
Ariza was still learning the offense when he went down. It was quite clear he was the best SF on the roster sans Kobe. Also quite clear he was the Lakers 2nd best perimeter defender. You have to be some kind of idiot to think Ariza's defense while healthy wouldn't have been a factor when you're playing Radmanovic, Luke Waltontina and Sasha heavy minutes![]()
Oh, my goodness, the tree of woe. If it comes to that, Mo, be gentle.
Holler, but, like don't hit.
Losses to teams led by Ben Wallace, KG, and Rajon Rondo in the Finals.
Ouch.
MJ comparisons
MJ had his own piccadillos.
I agree. Boston was the better team and the only reason everybody was picking the Lakers was because of the way they skull ed San Antonio. In reality Boston schooled an injured LA team once and the other without Pau in the regular season and was unbeatable at home. Not to mention the higher seeded of the two.
End o the day though you can't deny the FACT that the Lakers were missing their starting double double center and 2nd best wing defender was coming off a broken foot. Those are just facts.
Since when is Bynum a double double center in the playoffs?
picking and choosing stats
jeez... Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan... Jordan, Magic...yes, these are the transcendent players that lead teams to les.
And yet Kobe's gonna force us to include mother ing BEn Wallace, KG, and Rondo in the same breath at these guys![]()

Bynum is 9.7/7 on one knee and limited minutesMore talent in one leg than Brenda/Erica combined

Anyways, it's hard to pick against the Lakers in this matchup. But I'm hoping for a good series.
You weren't loling when Bynum was pushing Bosh's in head to head![]()
21, I like you, you're peaches with me, but, I don't do injuries. That's part & parcel of the deal. Waiting for utopian conditions to exist at tip off for both teams is Walter Mitty'ish.
I think it'd have been a very minor factor because the Lakers offense would be even more underwhelming with Ariza in there - the Celtics would pack the lane even more than they did + Ariza isn't the kind of player that could have slowed down Pierce significantly, Pierce is too strong for him. When he guarded Pierce in the regular season game, Paul absolutely destroyed him.
And let's get real, Lakers fans were very high on all those guys 2 years ago. The bench was supposed to be one of the Lakers biggest advantages in the series, the 2nd biggest one besides Kobe.
You're just being revisionist.
Sup Revionist_Blessings
I was actually. You talking about the same Bosh that like that fat center in Phoenix score 45 points?![]()
