Realize this. I had to call out the Lakers fans last night. This thread was languishing somewhere in Page 8 and most of y'all were conveniently commenting on other topics. My guys got severely beaten tonight, caned, whipped, royally f'd up, much worse than you guys and I have the balls to get in here and face the music.
What's more. Some of you have QUIT on your team... your 3-peating team that ISN'T on the brink of elimination.

Jesus Christ Adam, pat yourself on the back some more.
Big friggen deal, you made a post after you got slaughtered, congratulations. You want a fan of the year award because you can take lumps.
It's called reality and I'm sorry if your world doesn't allow reality to set in. Reality is that I've watched three Laker championship teams the last three years and this team doesn't even come close to last years team and couldn't shine the shoes of the teams in 2001 and 2000.
I said two months ago that I just felt the Lakers weren't good enough this year to repeat. Winning back to back championships is hard enough, winning four in a row is a damn miracle. When every one in the west gets better and you stay the same year in and year out, it eventually catches up with you.
I haven't quit on this team, I have become realistic about their chances this year. This is not the same Lakers team and I can recognize that. I think San Antonio is the better team this year. They obviously have the Lakers number by beating them six times in a row.
I will still watch the game tomorrow night and root for the Lakers. But I realize it will take a miracle for them to come back and win 4 of the next 5 against a team that has their number.
Again, I apologize for allowing reality to set in.
