It's not 1995, and this Laker team is not that Spurs team.
You can keep trying to deflect it, but this Laker team stated that they care. And then proceeded to get the beat out of them.
I'd favor the Lakers over the Spurs if everything plays out the way I expect it to but I'm not nearly as confident saying that as I would have been in the last two years.
The Lakers are showing wear and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if they look like the same gassed bunch they were when the Spurs bounced them in '03 after their 3-peat -- that team's played a load of basketball, not even mentioning the International play.

NINJA!!!!!!
Can we get this guy back into the lineup?
What a freak this guy was. I remember him then, we took it for granted because there were so many great centers then, but what a guy like this would do for a team today is unbelievable.
I never understood a team that trades all it's role players in the off season after winning a ring. It doesn't make much sense. I can see it working a couple of times at most, but eventually you are going to roll snake eyes.
Jesus Christ you're ing stupid...if the Spurs hope to make the Finals they'll have to go through LA to get there.
Please, is there any rational or sane person in this universe that doesn't think this is the case? Don't try and hinge your argument on semantics or technicalities, then run and hide like a when called out on it.
So genius, you're saying the Spurs don't "necessarily" have to go through LAL to get to the finals (your insinuations, not mine)...so enlighten us as to who you HOPE can do your dirty work for you.
Please...i'm on the edge of my seat
A much better Lakers team last season needed HCA advantage to get past OKC... Lakerfan has short memory.
I don't even think the Lakeshow will be #2 seed, tbh. They luckied out that they're on a soft schedule right now and Dallas got injured. But eventually the tough stretch will come around and we'll really see if the intensive practices paid off and if Gasol is really coasting.
Role players like Vujacic, MBenga, Morrison, Powell and Farmar? Have you even watched their careers on the Lakers?
As BJ's post above notes, LAL is longer in the tooth--and in that 2002 offseason Mitch sat on his hands as our role players got older, slower, or even more ineffective. This year Mitch learned from his mistake and brought in bench guys that actually log good minutes.
Some of you people should know better than to blow your wads on the regular season...you sound like Suns fans tbph
Again, that's your opinion. We know about opinions of Laker fans.
Might as well say we will have to go through Phoenix... wait.. probably not.
Or Dallas.. maybe?
Your team came very close to being bounced by the ing Thunder.
I will keep my options open.
Typical "if you don't agree with me you aren't rational" bull . Weak.Please, is there any rational or sane person in this universe that doesn't think this is the case? Don't try and hinge your argument on semantics or technicalities, then run and hide like a when called out on it.
I hope we meet you in the 1st round. However, any team in the playoffs can beat you if you don't have HCA, maybe even if you do, especially since you have no way of knowing the state of your team come playoff time.So genius, you're saying the Spurs don't "necessarily" have to go through LAL to get to the finals (your insinuations, not mine)...so enlighten us as to who you HOPE can do your dirty work for you.
That's because you squat to piss I am sure.

To be honest, with the effort and poor play we've seen, they'll be lucky to make the playoffs. My fear is that we'll ultimately go .500 in our last 54 games (only 41 left now) and have no shot of advancing in the playoffs.
Actually I was thinking of Trevor Ariza, but whatever team gets you there got you there. You repay them by dumping them on some losing Eastern squad.Role players like Vujacic, MBenga, Morrison, Powell and Farmar? Have you even watched their careers on the Lakers?

Hey though, with your "scouts" that become coaches and GMs of other franchises, you can acquire good talent like Gasol without any bickering from other teams.

This. as much as I loved watching D-rob play when I was little, Hakeen was a slightly better. I think over all, D-rob as a Career was a better Defensive player one on one(except for 1995 Conf Finals of course, no ones perfect) and hakeem had great footwork as an offensive player. somebody had to win.
As of today, Lakeshow only played against 10 teams over .500 so far. Their record is 5-5, with all 5 loses coming on the road.
Only time will tell. At the beginning of the season I was telling everyone that the Lakers are going to be the team to beat, and I still believe that simply because they are the defending champs, however that doesn't mean the new champs will have to go through them. It's likely they will, but not assured.
Are you a religious man?
To be honest, that post went completely over your head.
You looking for the priest who molested you as a boy? Not me.
You wouldn't know because you've never been that far up in mentality.
I'm telling you man, we're ed. No shot whatsoever.
You know Spurfan's close to waving the white flag when they start crying collusion
im suprised nobody posted this. hakeem is lightyears ahead of robinson and its not even close. he didnt win as much because like robinson he didnt have his duncan next to him. well he did but sampson went oden on him and they were screwed.
If Kobe quit, why wouldn't you?
I wouldn't quit unless there was a can't-miss big man entering the next draft, tbh
If there would have been such reward when Kobe did it. Instead we got trade demands and some 'rogue' video.
But you shouldn't get too down. Lots of things can happen from here until March. Maybe Fish, Blake and Ebanks can be traded for OJ Mayo. Or you can always hope some other team's players get injured.
You forgot Stern. He won't let us lose.
