NBA 2008-2009 Season

[Dimmauk]

I guess Kobe's "Flu" made the whole Lakers team miss their shots? Maybe it was the long delay between series, it made them rusty? I wonder what other excuses Laker fan will have? They are professional Basketball players, its their job to stay sharp and ready. The better teams won tonight.

GO ROCKS

[Stee]

meh not worrried, shit happens

[Dimmauk]

Thank you rockets. This was a great birthday gift.

[Akiyama]

That's series folks. Yao's hurt his knee again. Rockets are le fucked.

Whoops.

[Stee]

Don't say whoops yet, gotta wait till tomorrow. Hope the dude isn't hurt but you never know with a guy that tall.

But honestly that knee bang was so slight I don't see how it can be anything more.

[Akiyama]

I'm only saying 'whoops' because I thought he'd miss the rest of the game, the Lakers would come back, and then the Rockets would've been screwed.

[GRT]

i think we just got ourselves a series that's potentially as interesting as celts/bulls

here's from a mild lakers fan: go yao!

[Stee]

I'm not expecting a "weird" reaction at all. You're reading too much into my questioning. I was just asking you the same question you asked someone else.

The only way the Lakers lose is if they beat themselves? They could lose if the other team is ..oh, I don't know.. better as well.

If you say so.

Lakers to me, have the best team you can argue with me if you like I could care less. They have the best talent and when they play to their potential they have shown nothing could beat them.

The only way they lose is if like tonight they come out rigid for 4 games, or if they become complacent, thus beating themselves.

[GRT]

the only way they lose is if like tonight they play without any sign of a desire to win or the hunger they showed at the start of the regular season

so on another thought, no this series wont' be as interesting as celts/bulls because both of those teams played their heart out

if lakers can't do it, then the games would be a torture to watch no matter how many lead changes there are in every game, yet if they can, then the games won't be even close lol

Dude.. what? See the bolded? I can't take what you say seriously because you're a biased Laker fan. It's hard to accept it. Sorry. In your opinion, they have the best talent out there.

There's talent elsewhere in the league too, and based on a couple of the first round match-ups, anybody can win. Don't dog teams (even though you haven't) based on regular season match-ups. That's a blind thing to do. I do think they are one of the best in the league, so I'm not 'arguing' with you about the Lakers. It'd be like arguing with Dimmauk about the Spurs, and arguing with anyone else and their favorite team. It's impossible to get in a fair, biased argument with people like that. Don't say the only way the Lakers can win is by beating themselves, because last I checked, the others who play in the NBA make game checks and play professionally as well.

Also, I bet some Laker fans were like "We swept the Rockets, they won't be a problem." The Rockets are coming in under the radar in my opinion, so they should be watched. I think they match up really well with LA, though I think LA will win in 7.

arguing with anyone else and their favorite team.

Wouldn't have the same problem with me My team makes trades to ensure their spot at the bottom it seems

[Devia]

fair, biased argument

What is this?

You speak the truth.

It is way more fun trolling that fuck out of Lakers fans though. It makes things fun and interesting. When I lived in DFW, I used to get shit all the time, and still do about the Spurs. You take cocky Cowboys fans, and turn them into cocky Mavericks fans, add in a retardedly crazy Spurs fan, and you get the makings for great trash talking.

Laker fan is such an easy target since most are bandwagon fans. They dont know shit about the NBA, the history of the teams, and matchups. All they know is Kobe dickriding.

In all seriousness, the Lakers have been the best Western Conference team, but this is the playoffs, and there are some teams that are playing amazing. This will not be a layup for the Lakers. They will probably beat the Rockets. I'm not sure they could beat the Nuggets right now.

Imagine if the Rockets had a healthy McGrady. At one point Tracy was talked about like Kobe still is. They were the "Air Apparents" until Tracy turned into glass. I would hate to be a Rockets fan with all that potential, only to lose out to bad injuries.

Who cares what you think?

I never said I was absolutely right, its an opinion. You know what a opinion is right?

There is no clear cut right or wrong in the NBA or hell anywhere. That's why there are hundreds of analysts trying to analyze the game to see which team has the best chances.

By the way your whole neutral act has a lot to be desired. Your really nothing more then a glorified troll at this point with a weird desire for neutrality.

Whats up with that?

[Deejay]

Yes, anyone who disagrees with the Laker homer is obviously a lame duck troll. Obviously.

[Dimmauk]

If the Rockets somehow beat the Lakers in the series, I wanna see this again.
