Lakers fans.
The 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers were the biggest failure in NBA history.
It was a worse year for Spurs fans.
The Lakers were expected to suck.
You talking bout expectations. Wrong argument. Wrong year. -10 points son.
Last year's Spurs had a worst season. Considering all of the injuries we suffered, to even make the playoffs was a win in my book. If we were healthy - and got swept anyway - you'd have a point. You guys, OTOH, were healthy. You guys had a great RS. You guys were seconds away from a championship. SecondsPERID.
Say what you will to save face, but the Spurs had a worse year. You were rightthere. It was like having a chance to screw Beyoncé's brains out. Only to realize you have Erectile Dysfunction. I'd feel really bad if I were a BNSF.

Who died Pendej?
the media and bandwagoners expected Lakers to be a dynasty rivaling Heat with their offseason. No one expected Spurs to even make it to the Finals. So Lakers had the worse season based on expectations, but it didn't end well for either team. Spurs will have to figure out how to get back and Lakers have to figure out how to re-animate Dr. Buss.
I fathom 2014 will turn out a worse year for Lakers fans: signing Kobe to a lucrative 2yr extension worth 49m dollars, tanking for another Anthony Bennett-caliber draft flop![]()
We've been over this. The stupid decisions the FO made is what caused those injuries. Combine that with the fact the Lakers were supposed to "cruise" to the Finals, and you have the biggest flop in NBA history.
A Finals run is ALWAYS better than missing the playoffs/early playoff exit. Sure, choking away a le "hurts" more, but it isn't "worse" from a success standpoint.
Fans who prefer non-contention to the pain of losing in the late rounds/Finals are scared of the pain. I'm a Raiders fan, and I'd kill for a chokejob in the Superbowl over the disaster of the last decade.
Yeah, the Spurs went limp when it was time to , but the Lakers never got in the bedroom.

Woe is me
No one expected anything from us
I'm just glad we had the chance at #5
Pathetic tbh. Act like somebody son.![]()
mids with the goods. as a Niner fan, i'd take the last 3 seasons, despite coming up empty handed, than the ty several years or more prior. Least both Spurs and Niners were a couple plays away from winning, can't ask for too much more than the chance.
Deep down LkrFan and the rest agree, but they won't admit it.
Exactly. The last 3 Niner exits were Cubs' level territory of painful, but no way in would you trade those for the Raiders' last 3 seasons, which have been pain free, but completely unremarkable.
no crying here. Pathetic is spending $100 million plus on, then overpaying a rapist whose body is breaking down from being on the court and courtroom too much.
That's the thing mid. Unless you rang, I don't want any of that moral win deep playoff run crap. Either you win or you losePERIOD. In the end, we both lost. Yours was much worse. Why? Because your Big 3 been there done that for over a decade together. Pop was undefeated in the Finals. Y'all had the bubbly ready. Even Amy was wet for Timmy that night. When y'all took that late game 6 lead, many BNLF's like myself were at the local grocery store getting lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, miracle whip, mus , etc., for that sandwhich we were getting ready to eat. But after that game, I went back to The Commissary! to get my money back. Instead, I celebrated The Choke! at Popeye's. And Amy went back to The Gym!

it was harsh enough to those fans that the spurs raised their hopes high, only to disappoint them badly in the end. Spurs could've beaten Miami last season in 6 and they were really close to it with only half a minute left on the clock, which on the other hand means the Heat's 13' championship was just as much a fluke as their 06' one tbh.
Damn are you and mid Boyz II Men? And I'll take with me the memories, to be my sunshine after the raiiiiiin. It's so haaaard to say goodbye, to yesterday.![]()

Trying to spin it so he doesn't have to own up to the 2012-13 Lakers being the biggest failure in NBA history.
Fun fact: The Lakers are considered the NBA's most successful franchise despite having 1 less le than the Celtics.
Why do you think that is?
Take the Culburn "you're in last place with us" cop out all you want (which is simply a chicken way to not have to admit a rival had a better season than you), but you can't give yourself a chance to win anything if you don't make the playoffs/Finals.
good to see you aren't only listening to tejano music anymore. it's the truth though, Niners last few seasons were better than your Cowboys descent into mediocrity, which is sadly where Lakers are headed. The salad days are gone son, it's time to embrace the Knicks-West.
So you guys lost better than we did. Feel better? Probably nt. Never mind.
You know you'd trade the last 3 Cowboys' seasons for the Niners' last 3 seasons.
It's why Culburn's "you're in last place with us" shtick breaks down. Any fan with any kind of common sense would prefer making the playoffs (even if it doesn't result in a le) over non-contention.
