Don't cry DumpChumper
Your team still has an outside chance to win it.
Well not the Hawks that is.
The Team of the Decade trophy is also paper.
And the team has to give it back after a decade.
Unless they crease it, then they have to pay to have another one folded properly.

I don't cry over trophies that do exist much less ones that some bag troll made up.
It exists DumpChumper. Just ask Magic to show it to you.
Wow the lakers pick up Pau Gasol and now all the fans think they are the hands down favorite. How amusing.
Well actually it's the combo of Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum. To go with some excellent role players. But keep thinking it's only Gasol.
No, I'm asking you to show it to me.
Show me the official NBA Team of the Decade trophy.
They give one out every year at the MTV awards. Micheal Jackson got one just like it only it was artist of the millennium award.
Nobody said that but we ain't chopped liver either.
San Antonio fans are results-oriented people. They've gotten 2 les since you won your last one with a different team pretty much. Outside of DFish and Kobe and of course, Prick Phil...are there any other Lakers that have kissed the LOB? Spurs have a team full of them.
Kobe hasn't won crap since Shaq left. NADA.
Tim is only 1 of 2 players EVER that has won les with with completely different teammates from le 1 to le 4. The other is Bill Russell.
I applaud the HEIST of Pau Gasol but when it gets to it, NO ONE KNOWS how he will play once Bynum comes back. See there is this thing called COHESION that takes time and while Pau (even with some back issues) has been playing very well, it's easier to own the paint over your opponent when you don't have your own teammate taking up real estate. That's the advantage the Spurs bigs + Duncan has is that THEY ALREADY know their spacing. They already know how each other is going to react.
LAKAHFANS...Can you say the same thing unequivocally?
All I can say is experience and cohesion did not help the '04 Lakers when they got trounced by a relatively inexperienced Piston team.
The thing about Gasol is he has the perfect skillset to play the PF spot. Good face up game, midrange shot, and can back his man down in the post when he wants to. You couldn't ask for a better complement to Bynum, who is a true low-block banger. Bynum will own the paint and Gasol will operate in the high post most of the time. It will pretty much make our team unguardable when you factor in Kobe and Fisher on the wings. And I haven't even mentioned Odom. Add to that a very good bench, one of the highest producing in the league, and the best coach in the NBA Phil Jackson and you have a recipe for success.
FUNNY...Considering that it was their first and ONLY season together with Malone & Payton, and the fact that the Triangle O was being called OBLONG means that they didn't have either experience or cohesion and won their WCF on both talent and luck.All I can say is experience and cohesion did not help the '04 Lakers when they got trounced by a relatively inexperienced Piston team.
That relatively inexperienced Pistons team had been making the playoffs since 01-02. Adding Sheed just made them stronger at the post. So how you can call them relatively inexperienced goes hand-in-hand with you calling that 1 year team Experienced. Wrong on both accounts.
You mean he plays that position better than Tim Duncan? You're not going to say Pau Gasol is better than Kevin McHale too are you?The thing about Gasol is he has the perfect skillset to play the PF spot. Good face up game, midrange shot, and can back his man down in the post when he wants to.and while I will say that he's been the best PF to play in LA for awhile, the best big in all the land still plays in San Antonio.
Sure I could, because interchangeability is a great thing. Say Bynum is in foul trouble due to his capricious youth. Does he have the kind of game in which he can play the high post or FT line extended? Spurs can do that with any number of bigs playing with Tim and should go to the post of ft line extended, they have bigs that can play down low too. Are they looked to be as valuable than Gasol, not in the NBA but internationally speaking, the Argentines have said much on the world front and they have spanked Spain on occasion. Bonner & Elson & Horry are veritable wild card and if they play big, it's over. If they play small, it doesn't mean the Spurs are defeated, it just means that the core will have to fight harder to win.You couldn't ask for a better complement to Bynum, who is a true low-block banger. Bynum will own the paint and Gasol will operate in the high post most of the time.
Kobe has to deal with a 2-man tandem in Bowen, who has had a very successful history of holding kobester to around 1point per shot. Now in relief is Ime Udoka who had a cup of Coffee in LA, but has turned into Bruce's understudy and is learning quickly. Fisher offensively is still a contributor but defensively, well...I recall the turnstile pics, and against Parker, it'll be like taking candy away from a baby.It will pretty much make our team unguardable when you factor in Kobe and Fisher on the wings.
So I wouldn't say UNGUARDABLE, you could say tougher to guard though.
Is there a reason some of your own Laker fans call him ODUMB?And I haven't even mentioned Odom.
The same could be said about the Spurs considering that Ginobili is the leading candidate for 6th Man of the year, plus CHAMPIONSHIP experience in Barry, Horry, & Vaughn.Add to that a very good bench, one of the highest producing in the league,
While he might have the most les, he hasn't won ANYTHING without having at least 2 of the best position players in the league at the same time.and the best coach in the NBA Phil Jackson and you have a recipe for success.
There are many analysts who place Pop above the Colonel Sanders.
Pop's only needed just 1 of the best position players of all time to get his les. Just 1.
dunno. ask the suns.
PJ is tied with Red Auerbach HOMER for all time! 3+3+3 and I'm sure he would have blew Red out of the water if MJ didn't take a year off to play baseball and the Bulls not blowing up their team prematurely. Same goes for the Lakers. Some say he's always had the best players on his teams but those best players come with huge giant freakin egos that only a head like Phil could manage. That in itself is a daunting task. You think Pop could handle a prick like Kobe? Shaq? Scotty Pippen? I don't think so. I'd think Pop would have gone Bobby Knight on them and those guys would have gone Latrell Sprewell on him. You're ing kidding right? Pop over PJ? PPlease! Currently, Pop has the edge but all time PJ owns Pop.FUNNY...Considering that it was their first and ONLY season together with Malone & Payton, and the fact that the Triangle O was being called OBLONG means that they didn't have either experience or cohesion and won their WCF on both talent and luck.

I'm not saying we're winning a ring this year. We need time to gel and the younger players need more playoff experience. Andrew Bynum being so young and coming off an injury and also Ariza doesn't help our cause. We ain't winning no rings with a re like Luke starting either but we are dangerous. As dangerous as it gets. We'll take the underdog role and stay under the radar. I actually prefer it that way. Go ahead and brush us off. Just look at the Mavs last year. Anything can happen. It's going to be a dog fight this year. Every team is a good. Spurs have never repeated and it so happens that almost every team has improved. , a healthy Rockets team could knock you guys out. I wouldn't be so y. We're creeping though, history is on the Lakers side. Score another big man for the Lakers? Familiar pattern there? Rings are in the future for us.
His line last night was incredible. I'm officially worried....

We have Oberto.
Gulp.
