Thanx 4 jinxing your team!
Laker fans, we are the presumed team to come out of the West by media outlets and fans everywhere. I have more than enough faith in this team and in Kobe, Phil and Co. in getting it done. Sorry fans of other west teams. Just my opinion.
My question is who do you think will come out in the East. I know the popular team to pick is the Celtics, but I think it'll be Detroit. I just think they are more battle tested and I think Garnett has proven that he folds in the playoffs. A Laker team(or any team who survives the west) that has survived the West will be more battle tested than a team like the Pistons and Celts(and to a lesser extents the Cavs I guess) who has breezed through the East and played maybe one good playoff series.
The team that represents the East(Detroit IMO) won't know what hits them when a battle tested West team meets them in the finals.
I welcome fans of all teams to join this conversation even if you have a different opinion on who will survive the west. I was just poking fun with my thread le.
Thanx 4 jinxing your team!
LOL, you wish. By the way how is the stinging of choking the last two years of the playoffs going? Throat still soar?
Holy .
Cocaine is really easy to get in L.A
Man Channing Frye is kicking your asses now...
Celtics. No doubt.
LOL AT YOU. Your team has done a HUGE amount of choking, you guys are lucky that the media doesn't hate the lakers because you should have been exposed a long time ago. Remember when you had Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, Gary Payton and got completely owned by the pistons in the finals? EPIC FAIL. Remember when all of you lakers fans were talking when you were up 3-1 vs the suns? Then the suns came back and whooped that ass? Choke. Remember last year when you got owned by the suns AGAIN? Choke. Remember when you didn't even make the playoffs in 05. Fail. Remember when you got eliminated by 28 points vs the spurs in 03? Choke. Who are the real chokers now? Don't get me wrong I highly enjoy the Lakers games and I respect Kobe big time but you guys have gotten away with a ton of choking because the media likes you guys. YOU FAIL LAKERMAGIC. LOL AT YOU!
PS. I can see why there is so much hate for the lakers, its because of fans like you. I really like the lakers but because of a fan like you I had to completely bash them. Oh well.
Premature ejaculation forum.
Lakers 3 rings in the last 9 years.....
I remember very well.
Yes you have 3 rings in the past 9 years, that is an excellent accomplishment, and lakers fans should be proud but that doesn't justify all of the things I had stated above.
So what's your point then. For every choke, ty game you throw at me I can do the opposite. What are you proving.....nothing.
You're from Canada.
You fail at this argument completly. The Laker team with Malone and Payton didn't choke. They were beaten by a better team all together. Same thing in 03. The Spurs were the better team. Thats why you play the game. All those subsequent years can't be considered choking for us because we didn't have a teams that were championship caliber or that were true contenders. We were as we were seeded, one of the bottom 8 teams in the West those years. We were good enough to make the playoffs....
Now on to the Mavericks who HAVE CHOKED the last 2 years. Your Mavs beat a damn good Spurs team and were a better team than Shaq's Heat. But you CHOKED! Last year you all had what, 67 wins? And you lose to an 8 seed? The Mavs were a better team than the Warriors, but they CHOKED again. Pressure must be a for Dirk in the playoffs huh?
No jinx threads please
How old is that lady in the youtube video?
No idea, but it was a great shot.
Your sig's better though.
During the Finals i'm sure the lakers will be matching wits with various bass and trout
I sort of agree with the thread starters shakey premise.
LA is a cut above the rest of the west is my guess

Jazz are looking good too.
As are the Hornets, Spurs, Suns Mavs, etc. etc.
I don't have faith in the Jazz or Lakers. Neither of them play very good defense, especially the Jazz. And I just think the Jazz are better built for the regular season, but doesn't stand a chance against the Suns, Spurs, Mavs, or Lakers. And the Lakers have way too many mental lapses. As nice as the addition of Gasol was, his defense is not good enough. They MUST have a healthy, more experience Bynum down low if they want to win a le, because their defense is too inconsistent. They have players capable of playing good defense in Kobe, Odom, Fisher, but they are all WAY too inconsistent. and none of their bench players play a LICK of defense, except Turiaf, but he always fouls out after about 5 minutes of play.
The Hornets are an interesting team, but I think they will kinda be like last year's Jazz... if they go far, it will be more because of luck than anything. They aren't ready for a le, and won't beat the Spurs or Mavs in a 7 game series.
As much as I hate to say it... I think the Suns MIGHT have a better chance of repping the west in the Finals than the Jazz or Lakers. But I still think the west goes through the Spurs first, then Mavs second.
And you guys may think im being a homer or whatever... but do not underestimate these Mavericks even though they have had a pretty rough season...
I actually think the Jazz play pretty good defense.
they play dirty defense and have no interior defensive presence.
He got you there.
The Jazz play pretty poor defense. SAS would have to be a pretty ty offensive team to not take advantage of that........oh wait.
The Lakers, sans Bynum, aren't going anywhere in the playoffs. Pau is not a defensive anchor, that's not what he was brought here for. He was brought in for his offensive capabilities to lighten the scoring load on Kobe. Bynum and Ariza are the last pieces of the puzzle. Collectively they patch up a lot of deficiencies the Lakers have on the defensive end.......rebounding, shotblocking, perimeter defense, etc. We need them healthy and contributing if we are gonna make a run. A lot of things will have to go right for that to happen this season, but stranger things have happened in the NBA.
