Leave it to the JailBlazers to tank their game against the lowly Clippers to avoid meeting the San Antonio Spurs in their bracket.

Leave it to the 3-Time Champs to exude class by whomping up on the lowly Warriors to secure the #5 seed and eventually match-up with the Spurs in the next round.

That "whoosh" you hear is from the Cowtown Euros as they get a cakewalk to the Western Finals by playing the Utah Greybeards and then the defenseless Cuban Cigars.

The Staples Crew will EASILY dispatch those toothless T-Cubs before a BIG match-up against the Boot Accessorizors. This will be a huge test for the Champs but they will eventually prevail before the long awaited match-up with the Farmers.

Once past the Spurs, the Lakers will throttle the Kings and send that franchise reeling. Rumor has it that Brittney Spears is already scoping out Mark Madsen for a date to the NBA Finals.

Unlike the Detroit Red Wings complete choke job in this years NHL Finals, the Big Aristolte has his crew all primed for a Quatro.

Long live the Lakers dynasty and their loyal fans.

Long live the venomous hatred of those unfortunate souls who continue to slander this great organization.

As Kobe said tonight in the post game interview;

"It's time to dance, baby!"

The Lakers fans appreciate the hatred. It only adds fuel to our destiny.

You've got time (and 4 series to watch) before capitulating to the inevitable.

I have very little exposure to Laker Fans...except when I saw this thing on ESPN they were doing a piece on one of those parades the team has after they win the title. There were tons of people the reporter asked a guy in the crowd his thoughts and he proclaimed that "LA was sports center of the universe and that it doesn't get any better than right here if you are a sports fan." The reporter looked at him and actully said "But, you dont have an NFL team." He just looked into the camera like a deer in headlights. Made me chuckle. Anyway I trust that it was a very bad representation of the Laker fan base. I guess your quote just got me thinking.

AJKCFAN · 04-16-2003, 11:54 PM

And, BTW, Lakers fans (especially you, Cal....)

Remember, I was here after Kings-Lakers last year to take my lumps. Didn't duck nobody.

Should the Lakers get bounced out of the playoffs, you better not pull a Packfan and disappear for days on end....

You mean like Russ and his Wings?

My neck has been extended to great lengths this past 3 years pimping the Lake Show and fortunately they have come through. All it takes is one team to crank out 4 wins and smack Armageddon will be released.

I just cannot see any team taking 4 games from Shaq and Kobe when they have their play-off faces on. If it happens, then they will get nothing but props from this Laker fan....

....except if it is those Cowtown Euros with all those Hepatitis C tattoos on their bodies!!!!

Excellent analysis man, seriously well done. I promise to be here Win or Lose but I really feel little need to worry. Short of some sort of total family disaster in the birth of Shaqs child (God forbid, and I am sure not even an ardent Laker hater would wish that) I think the Lakers will have one of their most interesting run to the finals in years.

California Injun · 04-17-2003, 12:33 AM

Jim,

If the Lakers/Kings match up again you should try to make it up to Arco for one of the games. Their hatred for the Lakers is like no other.

My only problem is the two games I went to resulted in losses (their only two on the road in the 3peat run)

Gotta start saving the pennies, nickels, quarters, and Benjamins for this series. Last year's run cost me $650....

.... but it was PRICELESS!!!!!!

**KcMizzou** · 04-17-2003, 12:42 AM

I'm a (very) casual Pacers fan... I guess they've got the 4th seed in the east. But man... nobody in the east has a prayer. Is there another pro sports league as imbalanced as the NBA? Seems like it's been that way for years too...

California Injun · 04-17-2003, 12:46 AM

Mizzou,

The Pacers actually moved into the #3 seed and get those pathetic arc shooting Celtics in Round One.

Next up after the Leprachauns are the Nets.

I went to the game tonight and was shocked at how good I could see despite sitting near the rafters.

Kobe, Shaq and Arenas were all awesome. Warrior games are fun because of how hard they work to make you have a good time.

During every timeout there were guys running out and throwing freebies into the stands and keeping the crowd in the game.

Their motto all year has been "It's a Great time out." (Not Quatrro)

Royals could learn a lot (bad product, good marketing.) Keep in mind that averages do settle in BB ( as they say water finds it's true level.)

Kobe and Shaq were amazing to see live.

Abba-Dabba · 04-17-2003, 02:12 AM

Maybe it's just me but I never went to a game where the freebies were what kept me in my seat.

Hell I go to any game I am happy with just a ticket and a coke. I definately don't need any bobbleheads, mini basketballs or footballs, mini bats, logoed frisbees, or t-shirts.

**RealSNR** · 04-17-2003, 06:44 AM

Your Lakers gotta get past my Timberwolves first. In Minnesota.

Speaking of "firsts", when was the last time the T-Cubs made it out of that round in the play-offs?

DJay23 · 04-19-2003, 07:01 AM

ZZZ

I'd rather watch the world speed knitting championships.

What's with all the silly nicknames for every team. You sound like this dude I knew in high school that was totally obsessed with the NBA. Needless to say he was picked on a lot.

steve_minor · 04-19-2003, 08:11 AM

Who cares when the T-wolves advanced last, the have never. But if you use that as an example no one could. The Lakers went many years without advancing..a long time ago, but that argument is invalid. Yes the T-wolves don't match up against the lakers that well. Yes Shaq gets a unfair amount of calls his way in the playoffs. Yes Kobe is scoring more than he ever has.

But!!!

KG had his MVP season this year, and he will not settle for a first round loss. People who think the have seen KG's heart, will be shocked when they see his play and ability to rally his team!!!

Go Timberwolves

Twolves in 6!!!!
