Official Laker-Hater Championship thread. Whining encouraged!!

[California Injun]

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!"

Don't tell me your a belly aching Queens fan too.

Yep ...... the Kings will win it !


But belly aching ? Hardly not, I don't care too much for pro basketball since the Kings left town.

You must be under the mistaken impression that Roy Williams coaches the Lakers and that Jayhawks shoot our free throws.

Nice try, the Lakers won't need no help this year........ they will blow it themselves.


Afterall, the Lakers were luckly last year the Kings stumbled .

It won't happen 2 years in a row like that.

What a shocker here... Lakers fans stroking each other after winning Game 1 of the first round vs a team who has never come out of the first round.

Excuse me for interrupting this Lakers fans orgy, but if you're celebrating a very likely 1st Round sweep of the T'Wolves like it's the start of many easy, dominating playoff series wins this year.... y'all need to get a grip (and not each other).

Yay, you beat Minnesota.

Hooray.

We'll see how far this bravado carries you when the calendar hits May and the opponents are likely the Spurs and likely the Kings/Mavs after that....

Now, I hope to see the Kings win tonight to go up 2-0, but if they do, don't expect me to go nuts. It's just the 1st round. And if they lose tonight, that will make it 5 for 5 the Kings could not hold homecourt in a playoff round through the first two games (they split in 2001 vs the Suns and split in 2002 vs the Jazz, Mavs, and Lakers with home court), so it won't be a shock to see them flat. But they do win on the road this time of year and we are the better team, so I just look at this series vs the Jazz as expected. We win... and afterwards react as though we were going to win.

OK, time for you Lakers fans to resume your stuffing of each other....

At present we may not even have to face the Spurs or the KIngs, Spurs may be eliminated by the Suns and if the Utah game was any indication the Kings may not make it past them. Dominating win vs 4th seed vs loss of 1st seed to 8th seed at home and close game at home for the 2nd seed vs the 7th seed. Yes I would be talking if I was a fan of the past losers.

[AJKCFAN]

Jim, c'mon... you state you're a Lakers historian.

OK, does 1993 ring a bell?

There, the Lakers, an 8 seed, won the first 2 games in Phoenix in a best of 5. The Suns would win the series in 5.

Spurs are down, but it's the first quarter.. Using that "logic", the Suns should be down 1-0, cause they were down 12 late in the 3rd quarter in Game 1.

As for the Kings winning ugly, the Jazz do that to teams, but a win is a win. Kinda like Game 6 or Game 7 last year in the Kings-Lakers series a year. You're saying the Lakers won pretty?

You'll say who cares? Lakers won, didn't they? Isn't that all what matters?

Exactly.

So why knock the win by the Kings? They won and didn't play anywhere close to their best (except Webber surprisingly).

That's why it's amusing to see Lakers fans grasp at straws from Saturday's close win by the Kings. Look up last year's 1st Round and you'll see the Kings win a 3 point win in Game 1 vs the Jazz, lose Game 2, and win by single digits in Games 3 and 4.

That REALLY made them play like crap a month later vs the Lakers, didn't it? You really kicked our arses but good a year ago...

It is championship time and the Lakers finally had their game face on AJKCFAN, and that is what should have the rest of the NBA and the other fans worried. They went through the motions during the season to get here and they are turning it on again.

Big difference between last year and this year is the Diesel is healthy, god help the Admiral and Vladeflop now, cause their is no force on earth that will be able to do so.

I could see the Jazz especially if Stockton/Malone want that ring, but definitely not the Suns. Spurs will beat them, I guarantee it.

If I was you I would at least have held that guarantee until you see if Robinson plays the next game or not. Right now he is highly questionable for the game.

No one is gonna beat the Lakers 4 times in a series. What they did on Sunday was awesome. Minnesota seemed like they were intimidated from the start (even McCale looked scared in the stands). This series is over. The Wolves needed that victory on Sunday to get their confidence up, but the Lakers were and are too much...again, for every team. I'm keeping an eye on the Spurs vs. Suns series to see who the Lakers will play next.

You know who I wanna see make the finals in the east? Orlando. I would love to see Kobe and T-Mac go at it.

Nope, I just know who's gonna win it. The Lakers. No one is going to stop them. I'm looking at it with no homer glasses on and it's obvious who's gonna win it. The only way somebody beats them is if Shaq and Kobe aren't healthy. I'm not putting a damper on any of these guys teams that we have on the BB because it's ok to be a fan and root and hope...but no one is stopping the Lakers....unless ENDelt hires a sniper to deal with Shaq.

If that's so, why did the Lakers need a miracle sequence 3 point shot, hometown referreeing and blatant chokejob by the Kings in Game 7 to advance in that series?

No force on earth could stop them? O.... K

Read the post again I am talking about the Lakers this year, not last year. Reference the Diesel being healthy etc.

[AJKCFAN]

Cody, hate to break it to you, but the Lakers were gonna sweep Minnesota the moment they took the 5 seed from Portland.

Minnesota is only familiar with 1st Round defeats, to a whole host of teams, and has no ability to rely on any playoff series successes.

Feel bad for them. I really do. They thought all along they needed home court for a Portland series (which they would've won) and instead end up holding a big Laker broom.

If the Wolves somehow win 1 game, they may as well react like they won it all...
