What if the Lakers lost Game 7?

I can't keep up with em all Cully. He's the 1% that doesn't get butthurt about "OUR" 16.

Yep.

I don't have a problem with it, either. The majority who do have a problem with it are fans of ring-less teams, unsurprisingly. Those guys seem unaware that many people pay thousands for tickets, or sometimes even an entire city's tax dollars are used to fund certain portions of the team budget. It makes perfect sense we get to claim the rings in the name of the team.

Now, I don't mean you can claim you did anything on the court, besides get loud outside of it. That's just stupid. Or acting like because your team won, you accomplished something extraordinary. A little perspective goes a long ways.

I have always felt my season tix $$ have a direct impact on the bottom line. Not to mention the HCA aspects of just being a fan. It's a natural reaction for a fan to "associate" themselves with the team and community. I know it gets argued here a lot... but ill never back down from that stance.

[Venti Quattro]

I'd probably won't show up for my friends in 2 weeks because all of them are Laker-haters. They hitch hike any imaginable bandwagon that are going up against the Lakers.

They'd probably hump camels if those camels were against the Lakers.

I keep wondering how those s are still my friends.

[The Franchise]

There would be only one or two LA fans left to on so the fire would've died out quickly.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL @ insecure Laker fan..your team won the le, why are you imagining this hypothetical situation in which your team loses?..also, why did you quit on your team during the OKC series?..

[Smooth Criminal]

Talent is luck, the important thing in life is courage.

Which you had in abundance these finals Drew
Respect

[Jacob1983]

Laker fans should not be talking about what if scenarios. Your team's le this year was a gift handwrapped by Stern and his dirty refs. Enjoy the gift. No one likes a sore winner.

if the lakers had lost...

scott foster would be broke right now or be in so much debt to the mob that he might of ended up swimming with the fishes---as they like to say

[Giuseppe]

I smell skunk.

[DeadlyDynasty]

What if Horry's three went down in game 5 of 2003 WCSF?
What if Malone was full strength against Detriot in the '04 finals?
What if Tim Thomas bricked that 3 in 2006?
What if LA didn't blow a 24-point lead at home in 2008 Finals?

gotta take the good with the bad, and as a Laker fan we've had plenty of good.

[ambchang]

What if the league wasn't so blatantly biased?

[DeadlyDynasty]

What if the league wasn't so blatantly biased?

What if the conspiracy theorists weren't petulant little children who cry foul yet continue to watch the NBA?

[Leetonidas]

No, 57, but 2 straight are already in the can.

That's just disturbing. I don't know if I want to converse with you anymore.

[ambchang]

What if the conspiracy theorists weren't petulant little children who cry foul yet continue to watch the NBA?

What if Laker fans can understand the difference between biased and rigged?

What if Laker fans can understand that a commish stating/joking that his dream finals are the Lakers vs. the Lakers is a clear demonstration of bias?

What if Laker fans can understand that people can still love the sport without agreeing with what the NBA does?

What if Laker fans don't jump off on irrelevant tangents when it has been shown that s/he has clearly misread/misinterpreted previous comments?

[IronMexican]

Props to DaC for getting the whole board butthurt.

$$ says that 90% of the conspiracy shmucks in here will be here at this site, in this forum 5 months from now rooting against the Lakers all over again hence proving once and for all that they don't even buy their own crap when it comes to this stupid "Stern loves the Lakers" fallacy. Make up your minds dummies.

How does that not prove it?

[TheManFromAcme]

How does that not prove it?

How do you continue watching a sport you insist is rigged? (insisting based on the Lakers-Celts series).

How many "I am done" threads have there been in here?
I was just commenting that those that have said that or started threads like that will be here 5 months from now rooting against a team that they insist gets favorable affection from the league. Obviously they are drawn to it.

[Giuseppe]

Amb finally showin' nie on a week after we rang.

tee, hee.
