Jim Rome VS Pop

[LakeShow]

maybe he was joking? what would you expect Pop to do.." Oh hey guys i was just joking about that gasol thing"..

Why not? He see's that his comments are making the headlines everywhere.

[BonnerDynasty]

Why not? He see's that his comments are making the headlines everywhere.

He doesn't care.

That's Pop. He doesn't care if YOU get the sarcasm or not.

I didn't think it was sarcasm but I'd have to see the video. Most of the time you can tell when he is joking but if you don't see his face you will never know because he doesn't care if you got it or not.

I think most Spurs fans think Pop doesn't care what's going on. I happen to be one of them.

because part of the fun for Pop is laughing privately at how dense people are to take that comment seriously and not tounge in cheek like he always does?

I know that he was facetious when making that comment but it didn't come off as a joke.

He should care the way everyone (including Spurs fans) are getting work up over his comments.

Not many Spurs fans are worked up.. Howver everyone else is..

With the upsurge in Lakers' fans Pop has a lot more dense people to laugh at these days.

[TwoHandJam]

What is stupidity is Spurs fans trying to say that pop was just joking but they constantly harp on what he had to say. If he was joking, why not just say it and be done with it. I haven't read anywhere where he said he was joking, maybe you can provide a link?

See the last sentence. There were many things Pop said which were genuine, but the committee on trades wasn't one of them.

Provide the link to where Pop explains later on he was joking everytime he jokes around?

You can't be that dense.

The Jokes on him then, because anybody who believes in what he says is an idiot! Pop has no room to criticize anybody with his shaddy deals and tanks in the past.

[Spuradicator]

Do we all need a history lesson...with Shaq, the Lakers were a finals threat...without him the next season we were in the lottery. Where was Pop then.....

Of course you can't compare player by player and their impact, I'm not that dense. It's for illustration purposes. What about the Caron trade for Kwame, and there are numerous trades that have happened in the last 10 years that Pop would have denied if his little committee was around. I just like to point out how much of a he is for making those statements.

And I'd just like to point out what a you are. Your arguments are incredibly weak.

Rome and his "your dynasty is over" How ing hilarious is that. Now we are "looking up at L.A." Give me a break. I like how Laker fan THINKS there back.

Great comment! Jim was right on with his statements. I've lost all respect for Pop., He's turned into a whining SOB! Worry about your own ing team, pop!

this kinda goes in line where your beloved coach Phil Jackson CRIED, PISSED & MOANED and flat out ED about the Spurs winning the chapionship in '99. He was so adimate about there be an asterisk (*) on their championship. WHY!?

EVERY team in the league that year still played the exact same number of games and had just as equal of a chance to do what the spurs did.

So chew on that for a little while and realize that if you consider Pop for being an ass for making those coments, then your "boy" is the king of asses for starting the whining fest almost 9 years ago!

Defend that.....ASS

Please provide proof that Pop tanked and he has been involved with shady deals. If you can't THEN DON'T BRING THAT WEAK IN HERE ANYMORE..Put up or shut up..

But you can be that dense to think I'm going to waste my time looking from quotes from a whining pathetic grumpy old man!

Trollin I am. Loser definately. I won't back up what I say at all. Quoting the Peeper played by Adam Sandler "Please piss on me"

Not to mention the Spurs have won 3 more rings after 99 proving 99 wasn't just a fluke!

tahts beacuse its so easy....it NEVER happened!!

YOUR coach on the other hand has...he CRIED when they didnt win in '99 and the SPURS did.......build a bridge and get over yourself

The funny thing is, Rome isn't alone in these thoughts. I've watched every single ESPN analyst on TV basically say the same thing as Lakers fans and Rome about Pop's comments which is absolutely ridiculous. How many people when they first heard this trade thought...wait, what?!?!! If the Grizz wanted expiring contracts, they could have gotten much better deals from elsewhere. Also, why were they so willing to trade their franchise player to someone in their own Conference? It's also not like this deal was done last minute before the trade deadline...it was done a good 3-4 weeks, they still had time to shop around. And I can bet you that if they let it be known to other teams that Gasol was on the trading block with any team with some expiring contracts...plenty of Eastern Conference teams would have jumped at that chance. And they could have gotten someone more special in the deal than Kwame Brown. Something was definitely fishy there.

The history of the NBA playoffs has been one of paying your dues until you get over the mountain (the major exception being Miami recently; but they at least played an opponent that had been scaling the mountain for a whiile). All of a sudden, in a single year, two teams with GM's that had close ties with Boston and LA respectively, trade their franchise power forwards to Boston and LA respectively.

That's actually a great point. Not calling it a consipiracy or anything, but isn't it a coincidence that in a single year, the two biggest trades occurred between GM's that had close ties to one another?

What Phil said was true, idiot! That season was different from any other season in NBA history. It did deserve an asterik.

The biggest problem with the resurgence of the Lakers is that the board is once again flooded by Lakerfan which drops the overall IQ of the board about 50 points.
