Well it was a nice ride while it lasted, this was long overdue

[NewcastleKEG]

For sake Laker fan forgets their own history..."hey well things are working smoothly just like the last few years, so why change anything?" That's the mentality they had going into the 02-03 season, resting on their laurels and thinking their didn't stink.

and don't get me started on Phil...that mother er has turned into Walter Kurtz. His mind just wanders off into the ether during games and his thoughts are not on the game itself. After this year he and his devote zen followers should all just go to his ranch in Montana where they can decapitate the natives and worship his holiness.

Sorry to break it to you but Phil hasn't coached since MJ returned from baseball back in 1994.

All he's done in violet & yellow is sit around all regular season and muscle refs into into ridiculous calls come playoff time (2002 WCF & 2010 Finals for reference) by flashing Jordan's rings

LA is fortunate enough that they survived 3 finals/2 les with such an injury prone Bynum. They are certainly contenders still, but should they be forced to play in the order you believe (Spurs in the WCF), I highly doubt they will have the juice to beat both the Spurs and whomever makes the Finals (Heat/C's/Bulls will all be extremely formidable after such a long playoffs).

Spurs will be just as hard pressed to beat an LA team and also win the Finals, tbh. Just sit back and enjoy the ride - that's the best part about not being the overwhelming Favorite. You don't take your wins for granted, and every game feels like it could go either way. That's the real fun of watching the NBA playoffs.

Weak dawg. The Lakers will win this , with or without Bynum.

They have enough to win it without bynum. Defense wont be as tough but the offense will pick up. They already went to the finals without bynum and this team is better. All they need is a few good minutes from Ratliff. He's a veteran, i think he can give it to them . In the playoffs the game will slow down so he should be able to give them a couple of good minutes.

The Lakers would Beat the Thunder in a 7 game series. Artest will lock up Durant, Westbrook will shoot them out a game or two and choke. Perkins will stay in foul trouble and the inexperience Thunder will look to perkins for leadership. Problem is that Perkins sucks on offense. He can't lead that team anywhere. It has to be Durant but Artest can rough him up and frustrate him and he will.

Denver will self destruct like they always do.

All of the other western conference teams are easily beatable without Bynum.

Its even better when they get to the east. The Celtics aren't as physical In the paint anymore. That allows Gasol to get into the game. The Celtics were able to take him out the game when they won the ship.
No other team in the east is physical enough to take the lakers out their game except maybe the Bulls. They Bulls will suc b to the pressure of the championship and depend on Rose to do too much scoring and he'll come up short. Lakers in 6

The Lakers own the playoffs. They win in the playoffs better than any team in the history of the NBA. Bynum was not on those teams either. Sucks he got hurt and hopefully he wont be out for the playoffs but even if he is, I'm calling it right now. The Lakers will 3peat with or without Bynum. Book It!

[NewcastleKEG]

Round for applause for Lakeshow

It would take a 2002 WCF kind of reffing for the Lakers to pull this off. Fisher & Artest blow, Gasol always gets exposed without Bynum to fall back on, Odom always disappears on the road and Kobe looks like a 32 year old Iverson

Only Stern can save the Lakers now, then again it wouldn't be the first time (4th Quarter of Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals)

I'll never insulate in the face of defeat. No f'in' way.

I took the victories without reservation. I'll take the defeats the same way.

Good night.

How did you take the Viets skunking your ass back in Nam?

I implore the Lakers to lose tonight. If you do it's over. GUARANSHEED!

You're like a turd that won't flush

[tlongII]

There is no effin way the Lakers will beat us now with a hobbled Bynum. I'm more worried about OKC than anybody else.

calling the Gasol lakers a dynasty

3 straight Finals appearances and 2 Champs is more impressive than FAILING MISERABLY AT DEFENDING A CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Spurs were too mentally weak to carry the burden of a bullseye on their backs, and never even followed a le with a Finals appearance. In fact, only once did the Spurs follow a le with even a WCF appearance (in 2008, where the Lakers beat that ass 4-1).

Even the ing Houston Rockets won 2 in a row...how come your boys couldn't?

Spurs could never handle being #1, thus the hit-and-run championships. When the Lakers have won, they manned up and defended their crown. 87-88, 00-02, 09-10. The Lakers have handled being the champs, the Spurs haven't.

These are facts. Prove me wrong.


All that being said, I'm not an ignorant homer who can't face reality. They are probably done this year, but I guarantee you it will not be your sad-sack squad that takes us out. I'll bet any amount of money on that.

[cheguevara]

as I said before I'm available for nuclear ELE bets for the playoffs. IF LAKERS FACE SPURS, NUCLEAR ELE BET?

and again, Gasol lakers = no dynasty. their first finals appearance was thanks to a Manu leg injury, and 1st ship due to a Garnett being out. No dynasty

In 2003 Dirk was out for a pivotal part of the WCF...on 2007 Tim Donaghy ushered you through the only tough series/opponent you had to face. Oh, and if Garnett being out voids our 2099 championship (since they didnt even play the C's), then Dallas getting bunced by GSW voids your 2007 le. Sure you wanna go down this road, face? Don't even try it, son. I'll destroy you.


that ELE got ....put money on the table and man up. "If" our teams meet in the 2011 playoffs, the Lakers will win. Money talks, and it shows you have the balls to back up your convictions.

[cheguevara]

LOL making $ bets with lakerfans is a waste of time. Everyone knows it.

ELE bet. Loser gone forever.


crawl mother er crawl!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Man up, ask Pops for extra allowance, and make a man's bet for once.
