Maybe I would have said that two years ago, but I think its worse now losing to Dallas.
I know that's the case with the Blazers.

I said a few weeks ago the Lakers were under-rated, not that I was the only one.
Kobe is particularly repulsive with his smarmy theatrics, and of course Phil doan respek nobody.
Phil has got him some hosses now and he's got them playing good basketball. I can see them winning their division.
Spurs are now ignominiously buried in a group of 5 WC teams with 6L, all trailing Utah with 5L.

And the Spurs are 8-3 on the road. Wake me when the Lakers have that kind of mark and then I will be concerned.
I like losing LEAST to Dallas, but for different reasons from years past when it was the Lakers...
The Dallas trolls never shut up.
yes, the commentators remarked that the Lakers have not been on the road much so far, 2W-3L, but nothing I saw last night indicates they should be less than a .500 road club, and probably over.
I actually kinda like the Lakers. I despise Dallas. Losing to Dallas is 100x worse because they have never won anything in the history of their franchise but talk a bunch of .
The Lakers (and Spurs) are elitists in the NBA and I would rather all the teams that have won a Championship keep winning and never let anybody else into the club.
Losing to Lakers in regular season is like loosing to Wizards or any other mediocre team. you can't win every reg season game.
Losing always sucks.
Nothing, imo, is worse than losing to Dallas these days.
Ahhh...Dallas easy.
Simple, yet important thread. Good job tlongII.
Used to be the Lakers.
Now it's the Mavericks. For sure.
Interesting line of thought.![]()
Absolutely, yes. Living in the LA area I have to listeh to all the talk show guys about how the Lakers took down the mighty Spurs, how the Lakers are catching up, the Spurs best days are behind them....etc...etc...etc....
Clearly, because the Lakers are now the best of the best again. They just need to keep playing 75% of their games at home and they'll be a lock for the championship.
I hate losing to the Spurs the most...next to losing Snaq and FT.
It was a good victory, but like someone said, they need to do damage on the road to be an elite team. They have the makings and Kobe is still not 100%.
i hate losing to the Lakers but i hate Dallas even more!
Losing to the Lakers brings up many bad memories. Losing to Dallas brings up a bad memory but also brings out a bunch of loudmouth Mavs fans. At this point, losing to the Mavs is as bad as it gets.
YES!!!
and why?
1) I live in Los Angeles and everyone around here Laker this and Laker that, we hate the Spurs that! Especially all my friends.
2) I go to every Spurs game at Staples Center and have to hear all of the above, live. It's rare, but it hurts right after.
3) Everyone in my family is a Lakers fan. My brothers talk the most trash, exepcially after the playoffs defeats.
I hate the Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mavs, Rockets, Lakers, in that order.
A couple of years ago, Lakers for sure. The playoff losses were devastating.
But now, its the Mavericks. With Lakers being a bit down the list, and Timberwolves still up there (because a loss always brings up the KG vs TD argument).
Only team its okay to lose to is the Bobcats, mainly because a) they suck, and b) i kinda like them![]()
Yes.
Because radio personalities like like Vick "The Brick" Jacobs start overhyping the Lakers, regardless of how good they really are.
