Since you're counting Minnesota rings, I'm counting our 13 Boston rings then.... wow, a whopping 3 more les, big whoop
You need to own upPERIOD
Can you say you've witness all? Dont answer that, you probably became a fan after the 3peat.bandwagoner banking on lakers history that goes beyond even his DOB.
Just like all the yankees bags fans who bring up 27 championships even though they have no clue when those champs were won. lol
46 wins does not equal "very very good" tbh. I call bull on the bolded. You popsuckers were stroking each off left and right over your 61-win team.
Again, if they were healthy, expectations should have been realized. They were not. They changed coaches. Changed offensive philosophies. Changed _efensive philosophies. Ton of missed games by regulars. Trainwreck.
Keyword: hype. 1999 Blazers were more loaded. They imploded too (but they were healthy).
Injuries derailed our season. And yes, Dumbtoni played a huge role - and the FO didn't step in.
You guys were not built on the fly in 2011. In fact, your big 3 were together for a decade. Other players came an went (i.e. Willis, Oberto, Bowen, Hill, etc.). But the continuity of your big 3 remained the same. They knew each other's games like the back of their hands. That happens through years of building chemistry. So much so that you guys never lost more than 32 games in a single year since y'all tanked, I mean drafted TD... all of that went out the door when y'all met up with Z-Bo and the boys.
My boys had a bunch of past their prime FA names that we threw together and expected it to work. I drunk the Koolaid too. But as the injuries started mounting and the Ls started building up, I realized that this storm would not end well. Then BOOM! Kobe blows an Achilles.
But hey, happens. I'm confident that they will rebuild again and be hyped again. We'll be on top sooner than you think. When Shaq/Kobe split up, it was supposed to set us back a decade. 4 years later, we won b2b rangs. History has a tendency of repeating itself. Especially in LA LA land.
Same franchise, different city. Same ownership and players when move was made. But no need to explain to you. Simply 16-0 is all that needs to be said.
^Gargle with some Drano..
It's either 11-0 or 16-13, take your pick....
Own upPERIOD
Lakers > Clippers
No, they didn't.... even with the injuries, you still had at least one Hall of Famer on the court for nearly every game, which is more than some teams had all season long, tbh.... not to mention, it's your front office's own fault for wasting money on big names instead of actually putting together a bench, as well as Kirby's fault for demanding to pad stats in garbage time in his late 30's...Injuries derailed our season.
2012-13 Lakers' failure > all other sports franchises' lowest points
Own upPERIOD
So the '95 Rockets weren't a very, very good team?46 wins does not equal "very very good" tbh. I call bull on the bolded. You popsuckers were stroking each off left and right over your 61-win team.

The reason for their record that year was because they played like half the year and found their groove during the second half of the season, finishing with the 3rd best record in the West over that time. They also tanked the last two games of the season. They were a 50+ win level team who happened to get the 8th seed. Simple as that. It's happened before and it'll probably happen again. It was an upset, but not on the level of something like the Warriors/Mavericks (that wasn't even much of an upset considering how well the Warriors matched up). Keep trying to convince yourself it was this once-in-a-lifetime event, though.
What is a once-in-a-lifetime event, however, is a 9 figure NBA roster not winning a single playoff game.
Maybe you're not the biggest failure in sports history, but you are, without a doubt, the biggest failure in NBA history. Bar in' none.
And
I can live with that we have 16 Rannnnggggzzzz to make us feel better.
And I have 13, plus the sweep of this year's pathetic Lakers
Biggest failure in sports historyPERIOD
Own up, son, own up....
if not for that lopsided trade for Gasol, Lakers would have fell off into obscurity for quite some time. , how many of you guys joined after you acquired MVPau for peanuts? pretty much all of you guys.46 wins does not equal "very very good" tbh.

your best bet is to get another lopsided trade, and knowing the league's love affair for the Lakers, i imagine that will happen. but it has nothing to do with great ownership or management ( if anything, that aspect is going to get much worse for you guys). it's more about the league protecting it's flagship franchise.
Eh, maybe not all sports. Dont forget Texas Rangers. They had multiple failures
The Rangers at least got to the World Series, though.....Eh, maybe not all sports. Dont forget Texas Rangers. They had multiple failures
The Lakers spent $120mil in a sport where that kind of money isn't commonly thrown around, they guaranteed 73 wins and a ring, and then needed Stern to force them into the 7th seed where they were swept and demolished.... there has never been a bigger failure than thatPERIOD
Even after all that we both lost in the 1st rd and Lakers>clippers 16-0
Reduced to ring smack
And when that happened, there were no excuses from me, no crying about injuries or living in the past.... I owned up, tbh....
Now you're gonna need to own up to this year's Lakers being the biggest failure in the history of sports, tbh....
Reduced to ring smack
thats all that needs to be said. No need to argue, it's just 16-4
i did, but we still have 16 banners so I got over it quickly
Spamming ring counts =/= owning up, son
thats all that needs to be said. No need to argue, it's just 16-4
