End of an era - Goodbye Lakers

[Spurtacus]

If Phil Jackson officially leaves LA then the era is closed. I still think the Lakers, with the help from the NBA, will make a play for a superstar or two (Dwight, Deron, CP3) to contend during Kobe's final years.

I hate the Mavs, but not as much as I hate the Lakers. TBH, I've always liked Dirk's game and I think he deserves to win a championship after staying loyal to his team for years.

It's truly the end of the initial "post-MJ Shaq/Tim/Kobe" era. One of those guys may "luck" into a le, Kobe having the most chances, but the odds really are against all of em now.

It was a great run, and one of the best eras of basketball in history. I'm proud I was there for all of it, and some of my best memories as a fan of both the Spurs and basketball were forged from it.

i think if Tim goes to Miami he might be able to win another ring. But he'd have to do it real soon. Like next year.

What do you think the chances are?

What do you think the chances are?

Zero. Miami would have to trade either one of their big three, or the rest of their roster and then play 4 on 5 for the entire season.

Per NBA.com

"Without a win today in Dallas, the Laker dynasty would appear to be over."

And I read for the first time today that Gasol's underperformance may be related to Kobe Bean's wife convincing Pau's 21 year old fiance to leave him, resulting in a spat between Gasol and Kobe that is still going through the series. If this is really what's going on, what a way for the dynasty to fall!

I call bull on all this, 'end of the Laker dynasty' jive. They get Howard next year, and this starts over again.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Mavs are absolutely crushing the Lakers right now!

[ajh18]

[dbreiden83080]

ESPN are full of morons..

Well...at least we didn't get swept.. :S

We coulda used Terry's shooting against Memphis.

Mavs are absolutely crushing the Lakers right now!

As much as it warms my heart to see them get beat down, it's really almost to the point of humiliation. Would have been more exciting if a little bit compe ive, but Dirk and Terry are just smacking them like stepchildren right now. Artest getting blocked by the rim all alone on the breakaway was also whatever word means worse than pathetic.

[20beastie45]

IMO, This series loss for the Lakers is much worse than the series the Spurs did!..

WOW!

"End of an Era"? Please, GTFO. They're still gonna be a beast of a team next year with Kobe, Gasol and Bynum. They just have to get a new PG and improve their perimeter defense. We're the team that's ed next season.
