Stopped by Lakersground.net...

And seriously, nearly every other post is someone ing about all the calls against them.

Are they delusional?

[HarlemHeat37]

LakersGround is by far the worst sports forum I've ever seen in my life..

These are the same people that claimed that the rims were rigged in favor of Boston during the 2008 Finals..they blame every loss on refs, they blame everybody but Kobe for any loss, they blame Stern(LOL), they claim the media hates the Lakers(LOL)..

21_Blessings posts there..the majority of the posters there are the same as Blessings, which speaks volumes..there aren't many IronMexican or AshyLarry types from what I've seen..

Posters in Lakersground are avid Twilight fans, so that will tell you a lot about the people posting there.

Jesus Christ, Ln, this is the umpteenth thread talking about LG.

We get it already.

Fair enough. I was just amazed even though I've heard it before. Kinda like trying to understand quantum physics.

LG is no diff from this. After a year here, there is just as many fraidy cats, and gutless wonders here as over there.

Big shots.

Son. its a homer site. the only valid argument they have is the ball that should have been a shot clock violation. that clearly didnt hit the rim. anything else that place spews is homer anger

Like fans of every team don't the same way in their forums when they lose a game?

So in' around aside, what are the best sites outside of SpursTalk? I found a place I dug and never looked anywhere else.

This is it, and regretfully this isn't what it used to be.

Its one thing to complain about certain calls. It's another to blindly disregard reality and argue that the refs have it in for the Lakers. Seriously, reading that site, you'd think the zebras were the only thing preventing four/four/four/four and multiple 60 pt Kobe games.

Switch it and your people would be doing the exact same thing, Ln. At 1-2 Rivers took a fit for 48 hours.

I remember trying to get some information about a couple of players a while back by going to a few forums, but they were all dead. I just figured I didn't know where to look; I'm too lazy to move anyway. I dig my place of residence.

Rivers did the same thing PJ does, can't argue that. As far as Boston fandom, sure, there are probably stupid ones out there. As of yet though, I haven't seen so many willing to display their pigheaded ignorance in one forum.

Yeah, your objectivity is on life support.

I've professed my homerism multiple times on this site. It's a difference of degree, not kind. But the degree is quite large.

Are you of the opinion that PJ doesn't game the system?

You are a member of this forum and you can honestly say you haven't seen that many people with pigheaded ignorance in one forum?

[Blackjack]

I find that the homerism, ignorance and whatnot is pretty much proportionate to the size of each respective fan base. For instance, people talk about how knowledgeable East Coast fans are (New York, Boston, Philly) but really there's just more knowledgeable fans. They've also got more terrible fans.

Of course not. It's a cottage industry amongst NBA coaches.

Lakergrounds has more people

Point taken about stupidity, but when people here actually post about basketball, the takes are, on average, pretty decent.

That's like 10% of the posts. 90% of the posts here are trash. There is by far a greater noise to signal ratio here.

Anyone who even slightly upsets another poster through criticizing Kobe or something, gets the ban hammer over there.

It's a breeding ground for stupid Laker fans.

I used to visit that place with a stealth account, and god damn, I swear I saw a thread that went like 6 pages and it was a thread about...

"MJ only won those championships because the league didn't have any compe ors. Nobody wanted to win the championships and the league was watered down"

and it was full of agreements and Kobe sucking. I couldn't believe the universe I was in. God damn.

Yes, but the noise is that; noise. People aren't trying to have bball conversations here a good amount of the time. The LG noise is rampant paranoia mixed with wide-eyed denial and self-en lement.
