Was game 4 of the 2008 Finals the most painful ever for Laker fans?

[Ashy Larry]

Oh, I can't wait until I see old man Bill's face when Kobe gets another one of those trophy's named in his honor. I bet you he won't present it this year, slimy bas .

seemed like he was a little bitter handing that trophy to Kobe ...... but he is the ultimate Celtic ...... damn I hope they can pull this le out because seeing Tommy Heinsohn cry like a always makes me happy ......

they redeemed themselves the following year and showed plenty of heart after that Game 1 beat down ...... just seeing Red seriously pissed as the Lakers celebrated on the parquet was so beautiful .....

....he was livid.

Good citation, Ashy.

Game 4 made me cry. By game 6 the feeling was already numb. Probably because I was already prepared to lose

[picc84]

Of the past decade...Yes.

Game 6 didnt compare at all. Was already numb.

That and 2006 game 6. Lakers could have gotten to the finals if that Tim Thomas shot rims out. Or if Odom gets the rebound. Or if Kwame stops to contest instead of flying his dumbass past Thomas. Funny how he could leap that far going for a pumpfake but couldn't jump high enough to finish a layup.

lakers have had a lot of beautiful memories but some very painful ones ......


those losses in the 60s had to have been brutal for our older fans. every year was "it's our year to beat the C's", only to come up short and having those balloons stay in the rafters at the Forum in '69 must have been brutal.

Watching Magic and B. Scott's hammies go snapo against the Pisstains after an undefeated run in the West wasn't nice either

Not that far-fetched. The Clippers, as the toughest team left in LA's path after Phoenix, would have posed a challenge but our homecourt advantage would have done them in. From then on it'd be smooth sailing to the finals.

bull . The 2006 Lakers in sucked, evident by the fact they blew a 3-1 lead to a team starting Boris Diaw at C and Tim Thomas at PF. The Mavs would have steam rolled that ass, assuming the Clippers didn't.

lakers iirc ted on the mavs each and every game that year

[Ghazi]

Went 2-1 v the Mavs.

Still, Mavs were the best team in the NBA that year. Either them or the Spurs.

lol tainted Finals

But I don't fault you, it's not the first time Lakerfan talks out of their ass about the 2005-2007 era.

[ezau]

Is this more painful than the 39-point skull ing that these guys had to endure?
