    You know what you guys are??? 100% Lakers haters. Not just because of the fact that you highly dislike the Lakers, but because YOUR FUCKING TEAM DIDN'T MAKE THE FINALS.

    I mean LatDogg, I can understand him....he doesn't pay much attention to Basketball.

    But MP? His Spurs were up 2-0, then lost 4 straight games, including the Fish Swish, so now you take it out on a team more superior than those weak little Spurs.

    And no, it isn't just in basketball. Watch a sports game containging a team from Los Angeles, and the crowd chants:

    "Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!"

    nah nah nah nah,

    nah nah nah nah,

    hey hey hey,

    good bye !! :D

    this series should have been over last night, the lakers have been outmatched during this series...like they've been hit by a brick wall.

    at the beginning no one and i mean no one gave these pistons a chance..every article i read said they were too young and inexperienced and that the lakers were heading to the jewelry store to size up their rings. well i guess they're going to get their refunds now.

    but oh well a fifth game on tuesday will be fun and i wouldn't be surprised if it's closed out.

    looking at the bench shots of the lakers they look defeated and shocked and ready to move on from this season.

    unfortunately the super lakers will be no more, malone i feel bad for in a way but ever since he became a laker i think he became more of a prick. i actually liked him on utah.

    oh well anyway,

    ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba BIG BEN WAAAAAALLLLLAAAACCEEE !

    Talk all the crap you want about the spurs but atleast they arent getting spanked right now by a team from the EAST!!!! Lakers are no where even close to being superior over the Spurs. After the first 2 games the Spurs just stopped playing and stopped hitting shots. Spurs are far better than the 2 man team of the Lakers. HAHAHA how sad is that the lakers are going to lose to the pistons. Were it not for Kobe's lucky 3 this series would already be over anyways.

    The Psitons still have to win one more folks. I wouldn't count the Lakers out until the clock says zero and the Pistons get the win. If this series comes back to LA look out.

    Why aren't they? Cause the Lakers beat them 4-2. :p

    See 4-2 reference above. So the Spurs just decided not to play huh? Had nothing to do with the fact they couldn't, and most importantly here, didn't beat the Lakers? :roll:


    It's haters like you that make it so much sweeter when the Lakers win. Not saying they are going to win, but if they do, coming back and rubbing it in your face is just pure satisfaction in every sense of the word. :p

    Of course they have a chance. You have to win 4 games not 3. There are still 3 games left in this series. Only time will tell.

    We'll see. I'm not sure how much crap you'll be able to talk after the Pistons win the series. Lakers have been dominated this whole series so far.


    You wanna know the sad thing about the Lakers is that half of the Laker fans arent true Laker fans. They are the New York Yankees of basketball.

    If you don't believe they are the Yankees of basketball then you are only kidding yourself. Thats not saying your not a true fan as you live in CA and I can understand why you like the lamest team in basketball. ;)

    Well hey MP, they are actually "spanking" the whole Western Conference as the Lakers are the most superior team in the West, and have proven it by making it to the finals. You may not see it that way, but who made it out of the West as Conf. Champs??? LAKERS NOT SPURS BITCH

    just a tidbit of info for everyone who doesn't get to read local newspapers :D

    in the sports section today and for anyone that has been to a game...i have been shut out and couldn't get tix...dammit

    but anyway in the urinals when you add .. umm .. liquid it says beat L.A.

    kind of like an invisible message ...

    thought it was pretty funny.

    and to add to the debate, i do think the pistons will win it / close it out tomorrow.

    the lakers dynasty is over, kobe bye... shaq has proven everything he needed to .. hall of famer no doubt... malone, good try go back to utah.. payton.. who cares .. as magic said but not in as many words, you're crap.

    not to take anything away, they've been dominant for so long, they toppled people with ease.

    they've just stumbled into the work ethic of the pistons and time to pass the torch... bulls did it, now the lakers will too.

    Most superior team in the West??? LOL I'll pretend you didnt say that because its totally bogus. You may not see it this way but your Lakers are a 2 man team and when just one of them ( kobe or shaq ) has a mediocre night they lose. They shouldnt even be called the Lakers...should be called Kobe and Shaq. Either way it doesnt matter as your HORRIBLE 2 man team known as the Lakers are going to get their asses handed to them tomorrow and Detroit will run around with trophy. I almost hope though that Detroit looses tomorrow so they can win the title in LA and really rub it all the Laker "fan's" faces. What now b itch? :p

    MP, yes, they are the most superior team in the West, just as Detroit is in the East. After all, if they do win it, they didn't beat the Spurs did they? It was the Lakers, and the Lakers are the ones representing the West, so we are the best.
