So I was dealing with a Laker fan yesterday at a bar in Arlington and the dude was obviously disappointed the Laker loss but he quickly shurgged it off and, listen to me when I say this, he actually said " Its only a regular season loss, its not a big deal" I laughed really hard because I was saying to myself, wow, Laker fans does use this excuse in real life haha.
So we all asked him what gave him this confident despite of his teams recent struggles, and he quickly blurted the words "Pistons and Rockets, mang". Frankly, he caught us off guard and we were confused so we asked him to elaborate.
The Laker fan, known as Miguelito (late 30's, a bit on the heavy side, goatee, obnoxious and who always rocks his shades on the back of his head, die hard Laker fan according to him) without hesitation said "Well, Kobe is the best in the league mang and I know Bynum and Gasol are too much for the Spurs and Miami" We had to remind him that the Spurs are playing the best basketball in the league, so they're nothing to sneeze at and Miami though undersized have great backcourt depth, the same type of depth that routinely bothers the Lakers.
He quickly interrupted us and dismissed Duncan because of his age, and additionally Jackson historically owns Popovich and Manu is just 20 games away from deteriorating and he'd like to see George Hill, ginobili and Richard Jefferson stop Kobe. Ok, point taken. Well what about Boston we asked? to which he arrogantly replied " We are the champions not the Celtics, they have to fear us. Again its a regular season game mang, nothing more". Hilarity ensues. The rest of the conversation was all about how the Lakers are tested and the most experienced group, Kobe's le as Supreme being of the Universe and why Corona is the best beer in the world. yada, yada (Mind you, we asked him what he was drinking and he said it was a Long Island Ice tea LOL)
I ask you this because I honestly don't know much of the championship Pistons in 2004 and the Rockets of 95 IIRC, two teams who eventually won the NBA Finals as a low seeded team. What particular traits or character those teams have in common to this current Laker squad? Can the Lakers really not care about HCA and still willfully win a third championship? Better yest, since this is a Spurs site, can the Lakers easily walk over Duncan and Blair?
Either you answer the damn question old man or just go to extinction.
and then the Spurs fans left the bar and got back in their truck ...
You jackass, you.
How bout those hornets sweetie?and then the Spurs fans left the bar and got back in their truck ...
ah son they slipped up the last two games, but still own your good ole boys. you better hope and pray we don't meet in the playoffs
We're 2-2, and we already sent Capt West, CP3 and Janero Pargo packing after a vicious beatdown in your own house.ah son they slipped up the last two games, but still own your good ole boys. you better hope and pray we don't meet in the playoffs
Sorry son, your gimmick team doesn't scare anybody.
LOL at hornet fan
their city is about to turn into Cleveland 2.0 after CP3 bolts to the Knicks
son not as long as Mr. West is in the building
As far as the op...
son we match up better against the Spurs than any other team in the NBA this season ... don't lie .... you know its true and you know you're scared (and still mad about it)
Sorry to break it to you, West if no better than Antoine Jamison bro.
So, no one answered the other question yet. Waiting for Jamstone or any Houston fan to chime in as well.
lol this coming from someone who thinks a player who shoots .437% with 18PPG is right up there with Kobe and Wade???? .... LMAO!!!!
Son, that you're scared of every other team in the NBA doesn't mean you "match up well" with us.
It simply means we'll beat you up good but won't kick you when you're down.
If the playoff started tomorrow, I much rather play the Hornets than any of the other current playoffs seeds, with the exception being maybe Portland.
40-7
Concidentally, by this time next season the HOrnets will be around 7-40
Neal with it
tee, hee.
Their regular season one game championship against the Spurs was short lived. Now the Spurs are right back to where they were in the standings vs the Hornets.ah son they slipped up the last two games, but still own your good ole boys. you better hope and pray we don't meet in the playoffs
You slip up on a shot, or on a coverage assignment. You don't slip up on 96 minutes of basketball.
Actually West is right up there with Kobe, they've both lost 2 in a row.
- "West owns Manu."
- BR
- "He's not qualified
- 'Seppe
Chicken .
As far as the op...

Manu might not be Wade or Kobe but his PER is better than any other SG in the league and by the way last year his PER was higher than Kobe and by some metrics he is outplaying Kobe.
Bottom line - any team in the NBA would drool at having an unselfish player like Manu on it who also plays fine defense by the way.
