RD, Moonie is our kin when it comes to our complete, unconditional love of the 1999 album. But he equally despises Da Lakas.

He probably means sportsmanship, money and ego--but thats with all teams..we just win with ours. Btw, the Mavs owner--what a dick

Supernova said:

yeah I know..but there is still hope...all is not lost yet.He needs to realize that The lakers are the 1999 album...now how Im going to do this is going to take some time but I can do it...watch.

Supernova is right- my hatred for the Lakers is unrivaled! There is not a player more arrogant than Kobe with his conceited scowl or a player who gets away with more offensive fowls than Shaq. The egos are unparalleled as well. I remember Kobe saying that he wanted to be traded so he could lead the league in scoring and be MVP. Shaq retorted that by going through him, the Lakers won championships. What a bunch of arrogant jerks. The "glamor" and "flash" of the Lakers repulses me. Just play the game, guys! It's hard for me not to hate a team that has both of my least favorite players of all time, in any sport.

The Lakers are like a P. Diddy album- all flash and bling and no class.

rdhull,although i don't know you i was wondering if you could change your signature as it is an insult to me

Moonbeam said:

let me hear ya say "uh"

Cracula said:

sure..even though its not that type crack

Moonbeam said:

You are living in the past, my friend. I've never heard Kobe say those things, I've heard it rumored. Plus, any 18 year old kid out of high school is going to go through growing pains coming straight to the NBA. It would be unrealistic for it NOT to happen. And if Shaq did say that he was right; the team is built around him.

rdhull said:

Wise and understanding,i like you

Give it up for MY LAKERS!!! We Came back down by as many as 30 Points &Beat Dallas&that Rejected Circa Glassy-Eyed 1960-64 Beatle Mark Cubain.WOW!!! what a Game.Shaq was alright&doing His thing but Kobe in the 4th Quarter laid the Smack all up side there Heads.if the Lake Show plays like that then all things will be cool in LA LA Land.that Game Last Night was like Game 4 between us&the Kings Last Year in the Playoffs.Games like that you just can't eat but you feel full after a Victory.

Moonbeam said:

Kobe has matured alot over the last couple of years{you can even tell in his interviews} He is now trying to get his teammates involved. It's commonplace for players just hitting the NBA to be somewhat self-centered. But after awhile you normally see that their concern is to master the fundamentals of the game{which will ultimately excel their individual performances}and of course win a championship. Ultimately, putting up 30 to 40 points a night and not winning will take a toll on you.

WAY TO GO LAKERS!!! WHAT A COMEBACK ON LAST NIGHT!!!

Paul Pierce has the number 1 selling jersey in the NBA over
Iverson and that idiot Kobe GO CELTS!!! 13-6

JAMIESTARR said:

and Vin Baker leads the team in Krispy Cream Assits.your Celtics are still Soft in the Middle.too many 3's&you are gonna miss Kenny Anderson.Tony Delk&Shammond Williams are alright but they can't carry the load at Guard IMHO.a Jersey is the only thing Paul Pierce will have over Kobe.ain't no Rings in store for the Celtics unless Larry Bird can Be allowed too Shoot in a Wheel Chair?or Kevin Mchale can Be Clonned&the same with Robert Parrish.Dennis Johnson Boston sure could use you.

mistermaxxx said:

Delk and Willimas combined are averaging
23 pts. and 6 dimes per game so screw Kenny and speaking
of soft where are your beloved Lakers role players???
stick a fork in em' they like the Yankees,time 4 a change

JAMIESTARR said:

Robert Horry will break Hearts again this Year.Yankees will be Back don't even speak on them.Your Celtics got there Nuts handed too them Badly by the Wizards??Do You Remember that Pounding?Vin Baker is your Power Post Player??HA HA HA!!! Boston ain't gonna get by the Nets,Hornets or Pacers.get Larry Bird a WheelChair too Shoot from&you might make a Important shot in a Important Game??Dallas Mavericks Blew Your Ass out in the Fleet Center that never would have happen at the Garden but then again these aren't your Older Brother's or your Daddy's Celtics??

mistermaxxx said:

BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

I thought the Celtics played NJ and won? I could be wrong, I don't follow basketball like I do football...

i don't see how the lakers are going to 4-peat with a losing record...

even with shaq back, they haven't gotten anything together to win more than one game at a time...

last season, the struggled to beat the kings in the playoff. IMO, the lakers didn't win that series so much as the kings self-destructed...

anyway, there is no one in the east to :wOOt: for. so, i'm going with the kings again this season (Sorry, billy)

CarrieLee said:

Yeah we kicked NJ's ass a few weeks ago

sparxxxtresss said:

All they gotta do is get in the playoffs and the slate is clean again.Then they just gotta play the playoffs the way they used to.I like it that they are in last.Makes it exciting for me.I get to root for the underdog for a change

i NOTICED THE MIGHTY LAKERS LOST TO GOLDEN STATE LAST NITE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!

I, too, am enjoying the Lakers' struggles. I know they will make the playoffs, but with what seed? It appears that the Lakers will have at least 30 losses this season, which should put them at a 4 or 5 seed. Will they be able to handle more than one playoff series as the underdog?

Moonbeam said:

Does it matter?They will face the same teams they beat last year(and yes they beat Sac Kangs on the ROAD last year).Hate all you want,i enjoy it,but when the Lakers do the do i want all yall to MAN UP and congradulate :LOL:

They lost to some last place teams last season too, we all know what happened after June.

But they've all got to want it. MAYBE some changes need to be made, MABYE not. Shaq is bitching, with good reason, but he also has to look in the mirror. Right now the two most consistent players on the team are Kobe and second stringer Brian Shaw, who shouldn't be playing as many minutes as he has to lately. Winning 50 or more would be just fine.

The Houston Rockets of 1995 were a 6th seed and had to play most of their post season games on the road. Nobody thought they'd repeat, because they slacked off a whole lot from the previous season. They won the title for the second consecutive year.

Hakeem was a monster and put a hurtin on the young Shaq, Robert Horry was just beginning his reign as a dead eye dagger shooter and crushed Orlando. Swept Shaq's Orlando Magic. The difference is; this would potentially be a 4th straight title - that's harder to do for a number of reasons. All I can say is; if they don't win at least 50 they can forget it.

Walker,D-Fish aren't bringing it&Neither is Fox thus far.but looking out at the West We still can take the Whole Damn thing IMHO.this Laker Run has been a Turn it On&Turn it Off Vibe over the past Couple of Years.one thing about these Lakers they like Drama&Keep you on the Edge.Shaq isn't even fully back&Shaq can say whatever He wants because anybody in the Know knows He Played Last Year at only 75% Tops.The Cat was still scoring 30 Plus Points,Plenty of Rebounds&His Assits are just coming more&more.the Cat was Whipping Ass on One Good Foot.Shaq took James Brown too Heart.He got on the Good Foot&took it too the Ring Store too Collect.Kobe is Having a Helluva Year.B-Shaw is Shooting way too Many Big Shoots than He Should have too.I think Fox has too Step it up.As Laker Fans you Know Robert Horry only has like 10-12 Good Games during the Season.He saves Himself for the 2nd-Round onward in the Playoffs too the Finals.Kareem Rush needs too Step up as well.I Still Feel we can Make a Solid Run but some Cats are too Comfortable&just Happy with what they got.of course I think the Lakers gotta add More.the Bench Especially&we gotta Tighten up on Defense.but Wins like that over the Mavericks do Wonders for You.but that loss to Golden State brought Reality back quickly.

JAMIESTARR said:

So fuckin what?--did you happen to notice they have 3 championship rings lately too? "hahahahahaha" They lose a game and folks lose their mind...they were also down by 30 and came up to win a few games ago too..did ya se that "hahahahhahahahhah"...a few games dont mean jack. 4-peat--lets start the ante up right now.

rdhull said:

Are we a little testy LA FAKER...whatever

JAMIESTARR said:
