You'd have to be a moron to think any game in the Dallas series was more important to LA than game 7 against Boston last year.....oh wait, this is DMC we're talking about.
lol moron

Last year was one of 5 for Kobe, one of 11 for Phil. The sweep that ended his career and possibly marginalized Kobe for the rest of his will be remembered.
Ad hom ignored, kids don't know better (especially racist emo kids).
it's laughable. Heck, for some of us, regular season Celtic games are more important than last nights.
Lakers lost. Lost their cool doing it no doubt. But if anyone thinks the Lakers brass is pacing the floor and pounding on the walls like they just lost to the Celtics in the playoffs... your an idiot of epic proportions. Both game 7 last year and the whole series of 2008 were far bigger. Not even close! The Lakers are chasing the best team record in les. Kobe and PJ just happen to be the latest cast. They will move on (Kobe's not quite done yet) and we will bring in a new cast. In Laker land its about the le king and nothing more. All the trinkets that come to players, coaches, staff etc are just that. Trinkets and fodder for the media to debate. The Lakers are about les!
Dr. Buss's #1 goal is to top the Celtic le count. That you can bank on.

D can never admit when he's wrong.
Calling you a moron isn't an ad hominem, neat job trying to sound smart like when you said the Mavs are a profitable team.
That'd be a lot of admitting.
tbh, Bynum should just be shot or traded to Miami for Bosh
Sad, but, true.
lol @ this series meaning more to LA than Boston
We dont need two Paus. Don't have enough tampon storage.
Sure you do... No such thing as not enough pussies... look at the Spurs with and Bonner...
Don't know if Bynum can control his petty anger. Like that he's passionate and that should be okay. It's not at all a classy thing he did--that's horrendous. Contrary to popular belief, we Laker fans don't condone cheap shots like that...unless its directed to trashcans or cop cars.
Bynum needed to be hurt again...
Actually it is. When you don't address the argument and only the poster, that's ad hominem.
An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.
This is exactly what you did.

In fact, I don't recall many of your posts being anything besides butt hurt ad homs. It's the mark of a child.
You didn't address why someone would have to be a moron to think that, just that they would.
it's funny that Lakers win championships with s injured but the year he's finally fully healthy they get swept
as much as I would like to argue this, your absolutely correct che.....oh, the irony...it's funny that Lakers win championships with s injured but the year he's finally fully healthy they get swept
I wasn't using the fact you said it to invalidate your argument. I was just calling you a moron. What you said woulda been equally stupid if someone else said it, because game 7 of the NBA finals >>> any game in the 2nd round regarding importance.Actually it is. When you don't address the argument and only the poster, that's ad hominem.

Thank you for proving my point.
Why do you equivocate words? I didn't say "most important". I said "momentous". Though they are synonyms, why the tendency to insert words you can more easily attack?
Even in that post you are just repeating that I am wrong, not addressing why.
The final game of Phil's career is a significant occasion. I consider MJ to be more significant to the NBA than Kobe. Phil goes hand in hand with MJ. The end of his era is the end of a very prominent thing in the NBA, and to go out on a 36 point loss in game 4 of a sweep when you just won the previous 2 years is a big deal. You might not see it, but 20 years from now people won't care that the Lakers won game 7 of that Finals, just that they won the Finals, any Finals. However, Phil's opus will forever have that ending unless he continues to coach, and that doesn't even take into account the impact on Kobe's legacy.
Short term, nothing. Long term, everything.
Sorry, I was under the impression that basketball was a compe ion of skill. Not an arena for thugs to establish who could dish out more punishment and hurt the other team to win. Should a guy Barea's size have to worry about being able to walk for the next 3 months simply because he has an open lane and decides to take it? Is that your definition of basketball? Because to me, that's tantamount to a schoolyard bully situation where might makes right, and if you have anything to say about it you get handed a collapsed lung and wind up in the hospital.
Do you realize how early Kobe Bryant's career would have ended if every opponent of the Lakers decided to punish him for getting into the lane, and put him horizontal in mid-air? I guarantee you he would have landed wrong, on his back or neck or arm and been done for a season or more at some point.
And a lot of old guys used to believe that blacks should play in a different league, and that intentionally breaking a man's ankle to prevent him from playing anymore was acceptable as well, does that make them right?Its whats wrong with the league now. Instead of playing tough in your face D its jump in front of a guy and slide across the flloor for the charge. In the day, a defender would rather cry on the court than let someone think they could take em down. They would have looked down at the flailing offensive player on the floor, laughed, and stepped over him on the way to the fast break.
The league is being pussified by the day and its sad from an old schooler.
5 game suspension at most. How many did Mchale get for clotheslining Rambis's head?
It used to be accepted practice that Ty Cobb would sharpen his ed cleats before each game and go sliding hard into second with his foot up. Baseball back then was a "man's" game where you could routinely throw at the head of another batter without cause for much more than a scrum. Should we go back to that as well? Or even more recent, how about the football of the past three decades (pre-2000s), back when it was a "man's game" and grabbing another man by his head and neck and throwing him down was considered a proper tackling technique?
Let me ask you this: If Bynum was so sore, why didn't he go after Chandler, or Dirk, or anyone even close to his size? Why did both he AND Artest single out the SMALLEST guy on the court (you'll note Artest did it in the open court, so it had nothing to do with "protecting the paint")? Do you think that's something the men of the past would have done to send a message? Because from what I've heard, they went after the biggest guy on the team they could find to pick a fight with. The only message you send by hurting the little guy is that "we're too scared to throw an elbow at anyone else". Can you imagine Barkley picking out the other team's backup point guard to attack? Yeah, no. That wouldn't happen, because back when the game was rough, guys went after men their own size instead of becoming a gigantic pussy and attacking the smallest guy they could find.
The black argument is like the Nazi argument. It has no place in this discussion.
Basketball, especially at this level, is physical. If you just want finesse and tea afterward, watch fencing.
Good lord, you can use that argument to justify anything on defense. But you NEVER saw guys like Barkley, Rambis, Bird, etc., go after someone 14 inches shorter and 100 pounds under their own weight unless the other guy got in their face first.
Do you advocate a player putting his career on the line just to drive into the paint? Please explain to me how this is an example of skilled basketball.
That got Houston off our back for good. Thank, Christ.
