Lakers, baby

[Zomby Woof]

2-0 right out of the gate, against two vaunted teams. No Kobe, no Odom... no problem!

:bounce:

1. I'd rather have a raging case of the Bubonic Plague than be a Laker Fan

[Zomby Woof]

2. That can be arranged

[nini]

5. I've been a Laker fan for over 40 years

TRUST ME.. real Laker fans couldn't care less what the haters think. I find it quite amusing so many people hate them. Tradition and great success against other teams will do that to their fans.

7. I never said I hated the Lakers

Just felt if I had to choose between the Lakers and a Raging case of Bubonic plague - the Plague wins everytime!

[borlis]

8. Me too. They are just one of those teams I could never like.

I don't know why either. I feel the same about the Yankees and the Packers. :puke:
I also think bragging about a 2-0 record is comical, when there are like 80 more games to play!

[nini]

9. really? there are like 80 more games??????

:evilgrin:


yes, it's early the but excitement is because they are better than they've been in a few years and are playing well without their star. For the diehard fans it's a welcome change.


No problem on not liking the Lakers - it keeps us amused.

10. Maybe it's bitterness towards Phil Jackson that makes me hate them so much.

I really used to like him. Then he left the Bulls to retire. Then took the Lakers job and left his wife for the Lakers owners daughter. Pond scum.

[nini]

13. I can appreciate that

He didn't win any points with me over that either.

[Zomby Woof]

14. Maybe his wife was a horrid bitch

There are 2 sides to every story.

The organization is bigger than one person. Their history is bigger than one transgression.

I have loved the Lakers since Magic was a rookie. I will love them long after Kobe is a footnote in the history of jurisprudence.


It's SHOWTIME!

17. Hi Zombywoof.

I'm with you. I've been a Laker fan since - let's see- oh yeah,
before Lew Alcindor became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

They've had their ups and downs, like any team.
But this is really great to see them ahead without
Kobe. It must be a hell of a self-esteem booster for the team.

Go Lakers!!

;-)

3. lakers

I would like the Lakers if they didnt have that pompous Kobe (Who I used to do his travel, when I was at Adidas)

I am in Blazer land and I have lost all basketball cheer.....

[Zomby Woof]

4. I prefer him over Shaq

It's a given most jocks are pompous, but Shaq has an ego which can swallow the galaxy whole, if unchecked.

[nini]

6. that's why it's so good right now

the group that's winning now is doing it without Kobe.. hopefully that will send Kobe a message he's not the end all there.

[borlis]

11. How long is Kobe out for?

The whole season I hope? :evilgrin:

[nini]

12. I'm not sure.. it shouldn't be too much longer.

I have a love/hate thing with Kobe.


I really think the guys playing now will be great with a bit more experience. It shows teams can win without a dominant force when they play as a team.

[Zomby Woof]

15. 3-0

118-112 over the Sonics. :bounce:

[jus_the_facts]

16. Heh...I quit watchin' after Karl retired....

...after he got screwed outta his ring with the Jazz...then didn't keep playin' to break those records...well I lost my passion for pro BB. x(

:hi:
