Just wanted to say hello to all you Lakers fans. My Basketball season is over just like yours. Television is off and no more basketball for this guy. I won the championship tonight when your teams season ended. When Kobe and the rest of the stiffs from the Fakers cried tonight on television, I popped the cork on the bubbly and hung my "Fox fights like a girl" t-shirt in the closet. I am going to pack it up and train hard for the durring the off season, just like your team.
Ironic how Shaq called the Kings the Queens this season...and look who was crying like a bitch. rejoice haters, THE EVIL EMPIRE HAS FALLEN.

goddfather40

Five teams have won three titles in a row like the Lakers and this year's champ will NOT win three in a row, and I'll bet you they'll be back next year to start another run. I think it is sad that you hope for someone to lose instead of hoping for someone to win.

I am a Michigan Wolverine fan. I always hope the Buckeyes lose. It is what makes rivalries and sports so special.

I loved the shots of Derek Fisher and that punk ass Kobe crying like the little babies that they are. However, the Lakers will probably be the favorites next year assuming they can pick up some help (i.e. Malone or Pipper) for Kobe and Shaq.

Prophecy

L.A. doesn't really need more help than there bench can already give them. The problem is L.A. doesn't always get a good game out of the bench. And to shaq=ignorance to watch the NBA just to see the Lakers lose is sad... Yeah my team lost but we will be back next year. And like another poster said in a different thread,

so who's going to the finals ? I guess San Antonio and there they'll probably win also :-)

This is wrong. If the Spurs win what makes you think they won't repeat? Keep in mind the Robinson is retiring and Steve Smith (Who makes quite a bit) isn't getting resigned. The Spurs are going to have a shit load of cap room to out and get a big time free agent or two. The Laker's however have been going downhill front office wise ever since Jerry West left. Why do you think they weren't as deep this year as years past? Bad contracts were given to players such as Devean George which left them with no room to go and secure the reserves they had in the past. I don't see any reason why the Spurs can't be the next dynasty since Timmy D is the most dominant player in the league at this time.

goddfather40

To answer all your questions:

Two Championships since West's departure is not my idea of going downhill. And they are almost the same team from the past couple years depth wise. They have secured the key reserves over the championship run. They lost Ty Lue, and that is really it. The role players played like shit this year and that was the difference. Devean George is going to be a solid NBA starter someday. He is better than Rick Fox in every category but defense and 'intagibles.'

As for the Spurs, the Western Conference is too deep for anymore three peats. They are bound to get tripped up in the next three years if the Phoenix series was any indication. If they sign Jason Kidd, I see maybe a back to back, but no three peat. Tim Duncan may be the MVP and the best player in the playoffs; I was very impressed at his performance, but he is definitely not the most dominant player as long as Shaq is around.

I agree with you about the rivalry being special. Just because my favorite team is the one's playing the Lakers does not mean I do not enjoy the games. I just like to root against them and enjoy watching them lose.

BulletBob

Each championship was harder to win than the next. That is my idea of going downhill. In the first title run, Horry and Fisher were coming off the bench. This year they both started. That is my idea of losing depth. What exactly was wrong with the Phoenix series? Game 1 was taken by the Suns because a power forward hit his second three of his career. Other than that, San Antonio soundly beat them, although Parker was outplayed by Marbury. Parker can and will improve because he is young. The Spurs are insanely young to be running this deep into the playoffs. Ginobli is a rookie, Jackson an NBA journey man, and Parker a 20 year old second year player. The Spurs currently have nothing but upside to them.

I'm also sick of hearing about how dominant Shaq is. A 40 year old third string center (Kevin Willis) shut him down in the fourth quarter when he should have been playing at his best. I don't call that dominant. Shaqillle O'Neal isn't even the best player on his team anymore. Kobe Bryant easily surpassed him this year. Shaq doesn't have the competitve drive to be dominant anymore and the Spurs exposed his weakness. Did you see how he reacted when players actually challeneged him? Duncan scored on him through the end of the third and into the fourth. Ginobli took it right at him and Shaq lunged like an uncorrordinated third grader playing dodge ball. I don't want to sound like that shaq=ignorance fool. He's just a bandwagon jumper, probably cheered the Lakers onto their first title. I've been in love with the Spurs ever since Robinson began playing in 1989 and I have to say I'm loving every minute of finally seeing them on top of the league.

shaq=ignorance

First off, let me guess, you must be a Laker fan. Secondly, I am not asking nor do I care if you respect me. This is a discussion board where different views may be aired. Just because you do not agree with what I have to say does not mean I am wrong. I am only looking to write about my passion, the Lakers losing.

shaq=ignorance

Well here is the deal that I heard on the radio. Lakers fans you might not want to read this. Malone does not want to be the third option on a team where two ball hogs allready exsist (lakers) because he would like to break Karem's all time scoring record. He would get more playing time on the Spurs team, and have a better shot at winning a title with the Spurs. Secondly, Malone wants to get paid. The lakers are not in a great position to pick up another big contract, but the Spurs will be under the cap next season. Advantage Spurs. Now we get to Scottie. I would love for L.A. to pick up the Pip's contract. That would mean they would be putting lots of money on a broken down, older player. I am not saying Pip does not have game anymore. It's just that he would also demand a boat load of cash, and the Lakers would have to extend their necks to pay for an older players high salary. They would be stupid to lock all that money into him at this point in his career. Lastly, Kobe has not signed his extension to continue playing for the Lakers!! What does that mean. He is possibly wanting to see what the Lakers managment due this offseason. He know that he is not going to win another title with players like Maddsen and the rest of LA's weak bench. Kobe is very determined to prove that he is the best, and I think that he would like to show everyone that he can win a title with out the aging Shag-fu. So, where does that leave the stability of your franchise? Hopefully you will become the next Washington Wizards when Kobe goes to NY to play for the KNICKS.

sixate

The problem isn't with the fact that you don't like the Lakers. The problem is your damn attitude. Your only purpose is to piss people off. I don't think you've been involved in one civil discussion on this discussion board. Keep up with your attitude and you probably won't be around to get involved in any discussions. Chill out dude.

shaq=ignorance

Well said. The only thing the Lakers have is arogance and the attitude that everything will magically turn around over the offseason. But like Bullet said, their front office has made some STUPID mistakes. C'mon, you have Maddsen starting. He could only start on half of the WNBA teams, and he is one of the lakers starter? The Spurs are in great shape, they will have a young nucleus, lots of money, and other players want to be associated with their franchise. Havn't we been hearing how J Kidd wants to take Parkers spot at point? LA, you are now officially the LA Clippers. Thanks for participatin.

shaq=ignorance

I am not going to change my style, nor my opinion because you are a Lakers fan! You don't want to hear the truth. YOU CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Deal with it and get over the fact that your team got run, cried on television and will be watching the championships with you on T.V.

BulletBob

Er...I don't recall seeing Madsen start a game during the playoffs and the Lakers are still one of the four top teams in the NBA.

shaq=ignorance

You are totally correct. I am a bandwagoning fool. You see I have many favorite teams that play throughout the NBA season. The only thing these teams have in common however, is that they are always playing LA. My favorite team is whomever is playing the Lakers. Laker Haters rejoice!!!!

BulletBob

So your favorite team lost 50 games this year? Nice I suppose.

shaq=ignorance

How can they be a top four team when they are not even in the series. I think you should wait to give your ranking predictions until the end of the summer and all the teams have made their personel changes. Until then, their just better than average.

shaq=ignorance

I can't say the season has been all enjoyable. But the latest loss sure did make up for some of the 50 heart aches I suffered

sixate

You just don't get it do you. I have stated more than once that it didn't matter to me if the Lakers won it all or not. You're too busy trying to piss people off to notice that I already said that. Last chance bro. CHILL OUT!

To show you I can handle the trurh. Duncan schooled LA. Horry played like a bitch. Fisher sucked dick and can't play D to save his life, and if I see him go under another screen instead of fighting over top of it I'll fly out to LA to beat his ass myself. Shaq was lazy and never helped out when his man did set a screen. They have nobody at the 4 spot. Their entire bench is weak and they had a shitload of injuries.They let a rookie (Ginobili) school the fuck outa them. Did I miss anything? Nope. That covered it. They didn't deserve to win. The better team won. The thing you don't get is I like a lot of basketball teams. Duncan is one of my favorite players so I'm not at all upset that LA lost. As much as I dislike the Kings I don't need to use my big ass mouth to act like you.

With those same second rate players they won 3 titles. They will be back because they don't need a lot of support with Shaq and Kobe.

BulletBob

Can you name four teams that can consistently beat the Lakers? That's right, you can't. The rankings, that i'm sure most everyone will agree with at this point.

1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Sacramento Kings
3. Los Angelos Lakers
4. New Jersey Nets

Yeah, Dallas probably deserves to be in that group but I just can't put them over a team who swept their series while Dallas has to play Game 7 against a team missing their best player.

shaq=ignorance

Wow!! You have far surpassed my Laker bashing abilities. I stand humbled at your Lakers Hater knowledge, and admit that you have done a superior job of recapping the series, far better than I could have ever exceeded at the task. So to make sure that I do not get run, and lose my chance to heckle the Lakers next season, I bid this topic farewell. Thank you for setting me straight, and please know that I have found the light.

teph

Dark_Prophecy , thanks for the quote, was going to re-type something to that effect in here, but you did it for me nicely. I appreciate it.

It's true, the Lakers did somewhat blow in the San Antonio series. They made four out of the six games interesting to watch and kind of left their fans out to dry on the other two. Argh. I have to say that I expected more out of them, but hey, they are only human.

Most of this thread has been very annoying. Almost everyone has agreed to the fact that the Lakers probably deserved to lose this series, but damnit, come on; be civil. As Sixate said, this is a discussion board, not a piss-off-every-reader board. I'm by no means a moderator/administrator, but a dissatisfied member may as well be; it's a members' forum, and the more of us that get irked, the worse it is for the entire board. shaq=ignorance , while your ignorance and pugilism may be blissfull to you (and I highly doubt you've found anything, from looking at other threads, much less your light), it's killing the rest of us; quit insulting everyone or get out. Please.

Whew, That's all I've got for now. As fun as that was, I'm outta here . . .

Subsitute "Yankees" for "Lakers" and this is the type of crap I had to listen to after the D-backs won the world series.

The Lakers, like the Yankees, are not finished just because they didn't win the championship. They are still a team that on opening day, is a lock to go deep into the playoffs and that other teams have to figure out how to beat if they want to win it all.

Yanks are the same way. Just because they didn't win the last two series doesn't mean they aren't still the most dominant team in baseball. Look at their play this year and tell me that the rest of the AL, if not the NL too, isn't trying to figure out what they'll need to beat these guys. The Lakers have the luxury of knowing that they have a 1-2 that stack up as well or better than ANY other team's best 1-2. The onus is on the OTHER teams to beat them.

Congrats to San Antonio, they did it this time, like the D-backs and Angels. The correct question is, will THOSE teams be back next year? We know the Lakers will, the Yankees ARE, but the D-backs and Angels are below .500 right now.

cardinals will soon reign as the champs of baseball. It seems as though they are consistently an excellent team every year. True, they always get snubbed right before the big one, but their day will come again.

KeyserSoze

Three in a row was HUGE!!! We had no bench, and FOX was hurt.

The thing I am laughing about as all the KINGS fans were bragging that it's their year when they Lakers were getting beat up in San Antonio, and they got BEAT by a former LAKER....bwhahahahahahhahahaha.

The Queens will never win a championship with the whinning they do.

LAKERS are still the team to beat in the 21st century.......SEE YA NEXT YEAR!!

I am glad the Lakers lost too, but that is because I dislike Phil Jackson. I used to be a huge Lakers fan. Magic is one of my favorite all time players.

I am not a Shaq fan, but I don't mind Kobe. He works hard at his game and will be (is now, but will be more of one) a force to reckon with.

striderkevin

Kobe Bryant is full of shit. So is Shaq.

Why? Wait a year and we can all laugh when they're crying foul over the Lakers who played Yankees and got Malone and Payton and won the title with ease.
